    Natural Gas Exploitation in the Eastern Mediterranean: a Holistic Approach
    (Kadir Has University Center for Energy and Sustainable Development, 2023) Ediger, Volkan; Elfeky, Rahma; Karampalis, Dimitrios; Mengi, Hazal; Tan, Sadık Erkan; Bowlus, John Vincent; Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom’s Türkiye Office
    Discoveries of significant natural gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean since 2010 have elevated the region’s geopolitical importance from being strictly based on security to one also based on energy and has thus drawn in outside powers that are eager to address their energy-supply security needs. The energy crises triggered first by the supply chain disruptions in 2021 and then the Russia-Ukraine War in 2022 have elevated the region’s importance as a potential energy supplier and transit hub for Europe. This report takes a holistic approach to critically assess the activities carried out in the Eastern Mediterranean region in the fields of exploration, discovery, development, production, and export of natural gas, and the delimitation of exclusive economic zones (EEZs), as well as the effects that these activities have on the economies, policies, and strategies of Eastern Mediterranean countries at the interstate, regional and global levels. Previous studies have generally evaluated the activities related to natural gas in the Eastern Mediterranean from narrow perspectives and only a very small number have dealt with all these elements considered together and with analysis of cause-and-effect relationships on a regional or global scale. The authors deploy a systemic approach that is similar to the petroleum system concept, which evaluates hydrocarbon generation, migration, accumulation, and entrapment in an entire petroleum system on the basis of its essential elements (sources, reservoirs, seals, and overburden rocks) and processes (trap formations and generation-migration-accumulation) as well as the preservation time and, most importantly, the critical moments when events are significant enough to affect the whole system. Likewise, this report uses qualitative and quantitative media analysis of six newspapers – two from Egypt, two from Greece, and two from Turkey from the first discovery of gas by Israel in 1999 to 2023 – to determine the critical moments that have brought what the authors term the Eastern Mediterranean gas exploitation system (EMGES) to a crossroads, where either conflict and confrontation or stability and cooperation will prevail. No one can predict when this system will be overwhelmed by the essential elements (the ten Eastern Mediterranean states), the essential processes (activities related to gas exploitation and delimitation of EEZs), and the critical moments (major conflict periods). This is rendered even more uncertain by a rapidly shifting geopolitical context that is being shaped by the energy transition from fossil fuels to clean energy sources as well as the transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world. Given how interconnected all these factors are, only a holistic approach can help illustrate how the EMGES has reached this crossroads. For stability and cooperation to prevail in EMGES, two conditions must be met. First, countries must recognize that they are directly interconnected and depend on one another and a common vision that balances the economic and strategic interests of each country to forge development and sustainability. Second, a robust cooperative structural framework must be developed that does not exclude any individual country and involves external powers, most notably the EU and the United States.

    Energy Management in Organized Industrial Zones: Promoting the Green Energy Transition in Turkish Manufacturing Industry
    (IEEE Computer Society, 2024) Ediger,V.Ş.; Küçüker,M.A.; Berk,I.; Inan,A.; Üçtuǧ,F.G.
    Organized Industrial Zones (OIZ), which gained legal status by Law 4562 of 2000, played a significant role in Turkish industrialization policies, particularly in improving Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). The energy management (EM) within OIZs is essential for Türkiye's green transition and 2053 net-zero pathway. Following the publication of a directive on OIZ's electricity market activities in 2006, enterprises can purchase electricity directly from OIZ management. Moreover, the Energy Efficiency Law No. 5627 of 2007 required OIZs to establish an energy management unit (EMU) to serve the participants with less than 1000 tons of oil equivalent (toe) energy consumption. EMUs provide OIZ management with a unique opportunity to enhance sustainable energy transition by increasing renewable energy production and improving the energy efficiency of participating enterprises. The primary goal of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of energy management units in OIZs in encouraging energy efficiency and green energy transition in the Turkish manufacturing industry. As a case study, we examine EM in the Adana Haci Sabanci Organized Industrial Zone (Adana OIZ), which ranks third among OIZs regarding electricity consumption. We analyze data on electricity infrastructures, roof-top PVs, invoice settlements/offsets, energy efficiency investments, and GHG emissions between 2017 and 2023. Our preliminary findings suggest that EMU in the Adana OIZ makes a very important contribution to the green transition of industrial establishments and that regulatory changes over the last decades have had positive effects. The share of renewable energy in the total energy mix increased from 1.6% to 21.4% over six years, and there has been a noteworthy enhancement in energy efficiency, reaching 27% in 22 companies evaluated. The main policy implication of our findings is that the role of regulatory bodies and efficient energy management in OIZs will be critical in achieving Türkiye's net zero target of 2053. © 2024 IEEE.

    The Effect of Energy Geopolitics on International Climate Change Initiatives
    (Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2017) Ediger, Volkan S.
    In this article in general the relationship between international climate change initiatives and energy geopolitics was analyzed and in particular the developments in energy geopolitics were investigated with a historical point of view by dividing the years between 1965 and 2014 into periods of geopolitical intensity and geopolitical stability based on long-term periodic variations in oil prices. More specifically the reasons why international initiatives such as the Kyoto Protocol regarded as an important agreement for imposing commitments in climate change mitigation have not been sufficiently successful were investigated. Regarding the Kyoto Protocol the failure stemmed from three main reasons. The first and the most important reason was the intensification of geopolitical tensions on a global scale. The second reason was the differences among states in terms of their energy needs and possession of indigenous energy sources. The last reason was the ambiguity regarding the role of the state and the market at the implementation level. The author links the general failure in the efforts to tackle climate change to the developments in energy geopolitics and argues that the competition periods in energy geopolitics as observed during the oil crises decrease the chances of success for international initiatives on climate change.

    Levant’ta Büyük Oyun: Doğu Akdeniz’in Enerji Jeopolitiği
    (Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2012) Ediger, Volkan S.
    Levant Bölgesi’ndeki ticaret sisteminden başlayarak bölgenin hidrokarbon jeopolitiğine geçiş sürecine kadar uzanan tarihsel gelişimin uzun erimli (longue dureé) bakış açısıyla incelendiği bu çalışmada, bölgenin günümüzdeki durumu, petrol ve doğal gazın arama, üretim ve ihracı konusunda özellikle 2000’li yıllardan bu yana yaşanan gelişmelerle değerlendirilmiştir. Bölgenin hidrokarbon jeopolitiğindeki çatışma ve iş birliğinin sabit ve değişen boyutlarına, uluslararası ilişkilerin güç politikaları ve güçler dengesi gibi kavramları çerçevesinde özel bir yer verilmiştir. Bu çalışma sonunda test edilerek doğrulanan iki temel hipotezden bir tanesi, zaman içinde ticaretten enerjiye evrimleşen Levant jeopolitiğinin, küresel başat güç ve uluslararası devletler sistemindeki güç dengeleri için önemini uzun tarihi boyunca koruduğudur. Buna bağlı olarak geliştirilen ikinci hipotez de, Levant jeopolitiğinin kontrolünün başat gücün elinde olduğu zamanlarda bölgesel ve küresel çaptaki barış ve istikrarın arttığıdır. Güç dengelerindeki kaymalardan ötürü Levant’taki jeopolitik kontrol tek bir gücün elinden çıkmaya başladığı zamanlarda çatışmalar artmakta, iş birlikleri azalmaktadır. Doğu Akdeniz’in enerji konusunda günümüzde karşı karşıya kaldığı tehdit ve fırsatların incelenmesinin ardından bölgedeki çatışma ve iş birliği olanakları konusunda çıkarımlar yapılarak, bölgesel aktörlerin temel stratejileri değerlendirilmiştir. Levant’ta öne çıkan yeni enerji jeopolitiğinin bölgenin önemli bir gücü olan Türkiye için oluşturacağı tehdit ve fırsatlar tartışılmıştır.

    Europeanization Under Membership Uncertainty: the Cases of Environmental and Energy Policy in Turkey;
    (International Relations Council of Turkey, 2013) Yildirim,Ç.; Baysan,A.; Ediger,V.Ş.
    This article examines modalities of rule adoption from the EU's acquis communautaire under conditions of membership uncertainty. Drawing upon the case of Turkey, we probe into the viability of a policy-type approach (drawing upon Theodor Lowi). Our main contention is that the substantive design of policies (distributive or redistributive qualities) has consequential implications for the form (conflict-free vs. veto player constellations) and outcome (transposition likelihood) of the subsequent political process. The proposed policy-type approach, internalist in its outlook, is thus readily compatible with available Europeanization models which are externalist insofar as being premised on the study of domestic politics. In terms of policymaking, the EU needs to make more frequent use of policy-based intermediate rewards to encourage rule adoption where membership prospects are uncertain.

    Geopolitics and Gas-Transit Security Through Pipelines
    (Springer International Publishing, 2020) Ediger, Volkan S.; Bowlus, John V.; Aydın, Mustafa
    Hydrocarbons are valuable only if they can be transited from where they are produced to where they are consumed. Despite the enduring importance of transit to the global energy system, the topic did not begin to be extensively analyzed until contentious relations between Russia and Ukraine disrupted natural gas flows to Europe in 2006. This chapter examines the geopolitics and security of transiting gas through pipelines by exploring the connection between geography, global energy strategies, and natural gas markets. Gas has grown in recent years as a percentage of global energy consumption and is helping the world transition to a cleaner energy regime. At the same time, it is intensifying the contest for and control of gas-transit routes. Russia, the world’s second-largest producer, has built new pipelines to Europe since 2006 in order to diversify its flow from relying on Ukraine, while the USA, the world’s largest gas producer, is increasingly exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) through sea routes mostly controlled by the US navy. We argue that geostrategic calculations will more profoundly affect gas transit in the future and that countries that rely solely on market or commercial factors for their gas-transit security will become increasingly vulnerable to geopolitical volatility.

    Potential and Status of Renewable Energy Development in Energy Import-Dependent Countries Turkey and Pakistan
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2021) Majeed, Mohsina; Ediger, Şevket Volkan; Kirkil, Gökhan
    Human life cannot be imagined without the use of energy. Demand for energy, meanwhile, is increasing daily across the globe, while the uses and sources of energy have changed over time. Fossil fuels have dominated other energy sources since the 19th century but began causing problems such as climate change. In order to address these problems, renewable energy sources (RES) were accepted as an alternative energy sources in recent years and technical and economic developments make possible the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables at an accelerated rate. Turkey and Pakistan are both developing countries with large populations and high levels of energy-import dependency, 77% and 80%, respectively. At the same time, Turkey and Pakistan both have enormous potential for RE such as solar, wind, hydro, biomass and geothermal, according to the validated RE-potential maps of these countries. Turkey and Pakistan are realizing renewable energy transition and seeking to shape their current energy structure in the favor of RES. The factors affecting RED in Turkey and Pakistan are enormous RE potential, supportive RE policies by government and energy security issues. There are some political, economic, technical and social problems for RED in Turkey and Pakistan that include lack of proper RE policies, extended and time-consuming governmental procedures, the lack of domestic production of goods, and other financing problems for RE projects. If proper policy support and efficient investment become available, RES can provide enough power to fulfill the country's energy demand and bring prosperity and sustainability to both countries. Current RED in these countries is not sufficient for complete energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables. However, RE potential in these countries is enough for complete energy transition. According to SWOT analysis Pakistan's RE sector has various investment opportunities for Turkish investors. It has a validated RE source mapping system and untapped highly potential solar and windy areas. Mini-hydro plants is also a successful RE business model in Pakistan. The government of Pakistan is also offering various incentives for RE investors. Keywords: Renewable energy transition, sustainability, solar, wind, fossil fuel

    An Assessment of Mining Efficiency in Turkish Lignite Industry
    (Elsevier Science, 2015) Ediger, Volkan S.; Berk, Istemi; Ersoy, Mucella
    This article focuses on the mining activities of Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKI) the major lignite supplier in Turkey. First we analyzed the lignite production and overburden removal activities of TKI from a historical perspective and then employed the Principle Component Analysis to build a mining efficiency index of TKI and investigated its historical development since the establishment of the company. We found that labor productivity and operational structure have been the most important factors positively affecting the index. The current article makes two important contributions: (1) by using the most comprehensive data set available on TKI for the first time and (2) by developing a Mining Efficiency Index (MEI) which can be used to analyze productivity in lignite mining activities in different countries.

    Turkish Public Preferences for Energy
    (Elsevier Science, 2018) Ediger, Volkan S.; Kirkil, Gökhan; Çelebi, Emre; Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Kentmen-Cin, Çiğdem
    Public concern over energy supplies prices sustainability and efficiency has emerged as a major issue around the world. Yet most of what we know regarding public opinion on energy comes from North America and Europe. This paper presents the results from the 2016 Turkish Public Preferences for Energy Survey which included 1204 respondents and examined Turkish residents' household energy consumption energy policy preferences and environmental concerns. The main findings were that Turkish citizens consider natural gas and electricity highly expensive view dependence on imported energy as Turkey's most pressing energy challenge and recognize the problem of climate change. This lends public support for wind and solar power but at the same time energy issues and the environment policies of political parties do not affect voting choices and political preferences.

    Elektrikli Araç Sektöründeki Ekosistemin Türkiye'deki Dönüşümünü İncelemek: Eletkrikli Araç Benimsenmesinin ve Şarj Altyapısının Karşılaştırmalı Analizi
    (2024) Sağlık, Süleyman; Ediger, Şevket Volkan; Yardımcı, Okan
    Bu tez, 2010-2023 yılları arasında Türkiye'nin elektrikli araç iş ekosisteminin (EVBE) gelişimini ve dinamiklerini inceleyerek, elektrikli araç (EV) benimsenmesi ve şarj noktası gelişimini diğer ülkelerle kıyaslamalı olarak incelemektedir. Kapsamlı data analizi ile global EV stok adedi ve şarj noktası gelişimi ile Türkiye EV ekosisteminin gelişimini ortaya koymaktadır. Araştırma, Türkiye'nin EV stoğu ve şarj noktası gelişimini sayısal trend analizi yöntemiyle inceleyerek eşit aralık kategorizasyonuna göre oluşturduğu kategorilendirmeye göre diğer ülkelerle kıyaslamaktadır. Araştırma, Türkiye'nin EV stok adetlerinin her geçen yıl arttığını toplam araç stoğunda payının yükseldiğini ancak öncü ülkelere göre bu gelişimin sınırlı kaldığını göstermektedir. Şarj noktası gelişimi incelendiğinde ise yıldan yıla büyüme gösterdiği, halka açık şarj noktası gelişiminde hızlı şarj noktalarının arttığı ve şarj ağı gelişiminin diğer ülkelere kıyasla daha iyi olduğu görülmektedir. Türkiye'nin 2030 yılı için hedeflediği EV stok adedi ve şarj noktası adetlerine ulaşılması için şarj ağı gelişiminde iyi ilerleme patikasında olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Öte yandan EV stok hedeflerine ulaşabilmek için çok daha agresif bir gelişim göstermesi gerektiği gözlemlenmiştir. Öneriler arasında finansal teşviklerin genişletilmesi, kamu-özel sektör ortaklıklarının güçlendirilmesi ve şarj altyapısının mevcut hızla geliştirilmesine devam edilmesi bulunmaktadır. Bulgular, Türkiye'nin EV pazarını küresel pazarda öncü hale getirmek ve gelecek dönem beklentilerine ulaşabilmek için EV ekosisteminde yapılandırılmış politikaların uygulanmasının gerekli olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu tez, Türkiye'nin EVBE gelişimini diğer ülkelerle karşılaştırmalı olarak anlayabilmek için çeşitlendirilmiş metriklerle analizler sunarak, sürdürülebilir ulaşım konusundaki akademik tartışmalara önemli katkılarda bulunmaktadır.
