“…It is a working method in which work is carried out partially or completely away from the workplace using technological communication tools [21,28,31]. It is also not possible to apply remote working practices in certain areas such as agriculture, forestry, construction [32]. However, the potential is very high in some sectors including information and communication technologies, scientific-technical activities, education and insurance [7,32].…”

“…After taking into account the increase in energy demand by the households, working from home for 1 day a week can provide an annual saving of 8.5 mtoe and a reduction of 24 million tons CO2 emissions. Lambrecht et al [32] focused on the impact of home-office working on reducing transport related GHG emissions in Germany. Their results suggest that Germany can reduce up to 5.8 mt CO2 emissions.…”

“…For this reason, if Turkish economy could maintain stable and high growth, this will raise the country's remote working potential to the level of developed countries in the future. In addition, the development of technological and digital infrastructure are other factors that increase the potential [32]. Therefore, increasing investments in these areas will enable Türkiye to benefit more from remote working opportunities.…”

“…Since energy is an emission-intensive sector, the decline in energy consumption and industrial production caused reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and atmospheric pollutants. The outbreak has also shown how certain behaviors and practices can change under special circumstances instantly [32]. This transformation has contributed to the widespread implementation of new ways of doing business such as flexible and remote working.…”

Remote working emerged as an important alternative to office working. Türkiye put in force this practice in certain months of 2020 and 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic that led to serious decline in energy consumption in this period. The aim of this study is to find out the contribution of remote working on reducing fuel consumption in passenger car and electricity demand in case the country’s whole potential is used. This article also analyzes the effect of remote working practices on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Results show that the country can reduce 1.8 million tons of oil equivalent of its’ energy consumption which corresponds to 1.66% of the total energy consumption and USD 1.4 billion with 2019 prices. With a total of 7.73 million tons CO2 eq. emissions mitigation, Türkiye will be able to reduce its transport and electricity related emissions by 3.2% and 3.79%, respectively. Therefore, considering that Türkiye is a net fossil fuel importer country and a party to the Paris Agreement, it is necessary to promote remote working as a complementary energy efficiency and climate change policy. It is beneficial to consider the effect of remote working on energy consumption, including natural gas, during energy crises.
