“…55.9 TWh (4.81 Mtoe) of this potential was from crop residues, 50 TWh (43 Mtoe) was from forestry and wood processing residues, 48.3 TWh (41.6 Mtoe) was from firewood, 27.3 TWh (23.5 Mtoe) was from animal wastes, and 15.1 TWh (13 Mtoe) was from municipality wastes [15].…”

“…Hydropower: The theoretical hydraulic energy potential of Turkey is about 1% of world potential, while it is 16% of European potential [14,17], but nearly 65% of hydroelectric potential are still not converted to energy [15]. The gross annual hydro potential (theoretical hydroelectric potential with available water sources) of Turkey is 433,000 GWh [15,17].…”

Energy indicators for sustainable development which were introduced by the International Atomic Energy Agency in 2005 were used in this study to determine a renewable energy perspective for Turkey. The decision making includes social, economic, and environmental factors which affect each other resulting in a multi-criteria decision making problem. The problem is modeled integrating the technique of Analytic Network Process and TOPSIS. Also a sensitivity analysis is performed to monitor the influence of criteria weights on the model results.

“…Technology solutions within the existing energy sector will not by themselves change the sector dramatically enough to ensure achievement of the targeted goals for controlling climate change (Darby, 2006). National governments are responsible for ensuring appropriate legislation and supervision to guarantee that good quality energy is produced on a continuous basis in order that societies can grow while adhering to sustainable development principles (Peattie, 2002;Soyhan, 2009). …”

The aim of this study was to examine Finnish attitudes to energy issues by means of a qualitative interview survey of selected energy sector experts. Based on the analysis of the results, conclusions were made about aspects of the perceived public attitudes to energy issues. Also how these may be activated and manipulated. Citizens with neutral energy attitudes constitute the most critical group, according to the interviewees. They also felt that Government action is the most effective means for influencing attitudes, and that these means should be deployed urgently. Other means include peer groups, information provision, the media, upbringing/education and imagery/visions. The study offers a new approach to understanding public attitudes to energy issues and the impact of these attitudes by documenting the views of a selection of the country's energy sector experts as individuals.
