Sustainable development requires extraction and utilization of energy resources on a viable basis for the welfare of human beings and global growth. An increased focus on sustainable development and global warming imposes policy-makers and decision-makers to prioritize environmental responsibility while maximizing economic benefits to the industry. Therefore, evaluating environmental aspects and potential impacts associated with energy resources is essential. Turkey, as a signatory of Kyoto protocol, needs to take actions especially in the energy sector to battle emissions. In order to achieve large-scale emission reduction, the current status needs to be placed under closer scrutiny and once the largest emission generating sectors are identified, necessary changes should be involved in accordance with accepted international standards that consider global warming, eco-balance, and sustainability. This paper presents a comparative evaluation of coal production and utilization impacts on carbon dioxide emission in Europe and in Turkey using geographic information systems (GIS).

Potential impacts of climate change on wind energy resources in Türkiye Işık Çetin, İrem; Yücel, İsmail; Arı, İzzet; Department of Earth System Science (2023-3-02) Increasing the use of renewable energy is crucial in reducing the adverse effects of climate change. However, climate change will also affect weather-dependent renewable energy resources. Therefore, this study aims to identify the effects of climate change on the wind energy resources in Türkiye, which is in the Mediterranean hotspot, in the next century by using recent climate projections (CMIP6) with two different scenarios. The study includes four different results for wind resources in Türkiye. First, t...
An Assessment on the link between sustainability and urban form : the case of Gaziantep Yılmaz, Şeyda; Kayasü, Serap; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2014) Sustainability ensures a better quality of life and more sustainable world environment now and in the future. Our climate is constantly changing due to some human induced factors. These changes have negative effects on the environment and human life. Lasting solutions to this global problem can only be achieved by sustainability. Climate change is acknowledged as a serious environmental problem. In recent years, researchers have found a close link between climate change and cities. On the one hand, it is a ...
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Uranium Recovery from Brine Altay, Melike Benan; Kalıpçıoğlu, Ceyda; Kurt, Zöhre (2022-06-01) With the increase in world population and the associated increase in raw material, clean water and energy demands, seeking for innovative and sustainable methods to decrease human-made environmental footprint becomes a task of utmost importance to reduce emissions and waste generation. Uranium-based atomic energy generation has an enormous potential to efficiently supply energy demand at the cost of high environmental impact on water bodies. Therefore, estimating the environmental impacts of the uranium rec...
Use of Geospatial Queries for Optimum Drilling and Blasting Practices in Surface Mining Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa (2018-11-22) Increasing demand of the modern society for energy and raw material strengthens the role of mining in sustainable development. The basic production cycle of surface mining is initiated by drilling and blasting the material that will be loaded, hauled, and dumped by various mobile equipment. Performance measurement and analysis of all these production stages by the utilization of available technology is of crucial importance for continuous improvement of modern mine operations. Today, most of the mobile equi...
Comparison of CO2 emission related to off highway trucks and belst conveyors in an open pit coal mine Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa; Demirel, Nuray (null; 2011-05-13) Environmental impacts of extraction and utilization of finite resources are crucial more than ever. In recent years, mining industry has been faced with increasing constraints and forced to manage and mitigate the environmental impacts associated with mining. Mining professionals and practitioners have become obliged to make decisions in accordance with certain systematic standards like Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This study presents the use of LCA in material handling system selection between off-highway ...
