The status of renewable energy resources in Europe and comparison of Turkey

Abstract

Energy is one of the basic needs of human beings during their historical development. However, with the opportunities provided by nature, the need for energy resources in nature continues to increase day by day. In less developed countries, consumption increases with only population increase; in developing countries, energy supply will continue intensely in the near future as a result of industrialization, increasing people's income level and technological developments. It is an undeniable fact that fossil energy sources, which are called as non-renewable energy sources, cause serious environmental problems in the world, especially in Europe, that their reserves will be depleted between the years 2050-2100, and that interest in renewable energy sources starts to increase as a result of fluctuations in prices.
