Özet
This study aims to review the connections between Turkey's energy industry, carbon emissions, renewable energy consumption, energy efficiency, and the provision of policy recommendations for environmental sustainability. The research looks at data from 2000 to 2022 using econometric tools including the Toda-Yamamoto causality test and the DF-GLS unit root test. The results demonstrate a one-way causal relationship between energy efficiency and carbon emissions at the 5% significant level, making it a potent tool for reducing emissions. However, the adoption of renewable energy sources did not appear to be associated with an increase in carbon emissions. The need of strengthening renewable energy policies and infrastructure is underscored by this finding. Results from renewable energy and efficiency programs vary across nation, according to the study. Carbon taxes, increased investment in renewable energy, and the promotion of energy-saving technologies are some of the environmentally friendly policies proposed for Turkey's energy infrastructure. The report also emphasizes regional growth in renewable energy initiatives and international cooperation. Turkey can achieve its sustainable development goals with the help of these proposals. The findings, which contribute significantly to the current literature, provide new insight into the operation of renewable energy programs and the relationship between energy efficiency and carbon emissions.
