This thesis seeks to examine the importance of using renewable energy by using different promotion strategies, methods, technologies and policies among the different countries and regional frameworks in order to achieve a sustainable future. The main argument of the thesis is that contrary to the views of some scholars, who argue that it is the renewable energy potential of countries that is the key for the development of the renewable energy sectors, this thesis argues that it is mainly the renewable energy friendly policy environment as well as the availability of affordable technology, public support and sufficient financial resources that determine the performance of individual countries and regional frameworks in realizing their potentials in renewable energy production. The thesis composed of five chapters, the first chapter is the introduction part, and the second chapter is about renewable energy resources in the world market and continues with the methods technologies and incentives of renewables in general. Chapter three is about the comparison among the countries’ renewable energy developments. Chapter four is about the comparison of regional framework’s renewable energy development and fifth chapter will present the conclusion part.

Solar generated steam injection in heavy oil reservoirs: A case study
Afsar, Cansu; Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2016-06-01)
Combination of solar generated steam technology and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques have attracted a great deal of attention due to its positive impact on economics and on the environment. Solar steam project has already proven itself as it can reduce both gas consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 80%. However, operational issues as well as geographical factors (i.e. terrain suitability, drill sites and future field development plans) may affect solar EOR operations. In this study, a heavy oil field...
A review of Ghana's energy sector national energy statistics and policy framework
Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (2016-01-01)
In this study, a review of Ghana's energy sector national energy statistics and policy framework is done to create awareness of the strategic planning and energy policies of Ghana's energy sector that will serve as an informative tool for both local and foreign investors, help in national decision-making for the efficient development and utilization of energy resources. The review of Ghana's energy sector policy is to answer the question, what has been done so far? And what is the way forward? The future re...
Performance analysis of a solar chimney power plant for rural areas in Nigeria
Okoye, Chiemeka Onyeka; Taylan, Onur (2017-04-01)
Diverse renewable energy technologies are urgently needed, especially for developing countries. This paper aims to create awareness of solar chimney power plants (SCPP) as a viable and sustainable alternative in rural communities with limited or no access to the grid. The study considers site-specific hourly meteorological data in assessing the feasibility of SCPP in seven selected regions in Nigeria. A theoretical model was established for power output, levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and avoided carb...
Renewable energy in regional planning and development : an evaluation of development agencies in Turkey
Ersanlı, Devrim; Gedikli, Bahar; Department of City and Regional Planning (2013)
This thesis studies the renewable energy concept in regional planning. A comprehensive study is made about the renewable energy in Turkey, in a regional planning aspect. A profound analysis about the renewable energy related activities of the regional development agencies is made. The examples of successful regional and national planning policies in the world, for the increase in renewable energy utilization and sustainable energy generation are studied. The Turkish legal legislation about the renewable ene...
THE ROLE OF COMMUNITY ENERGY PLANNING IN DECENTRALIZATION POLICIES OF TURKEY
Erkan, Esengül; Senol Balaban, Meltem; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2022-1-27)
The thesis examines the applications of renewable energy towards community energy as an urban policy in the local governments of Turkey. A comprehensive study was conducted on the energy production and consumption from renewable energy in the world and in Turkey, and the increase in global renewable energy activities in recent years was discussed together with issues such as climate crisis and localization. In the discussions on political, administrative, and financial decentralization and privatization pol...
