İklim Değişikliği ile Mücadele Kapsamında İzmir’de Biyoenerji Odaklı Akıllı Uzmanlaşma Potansiyeli

İklim değişikliği, dünyanın ve insanlığın sürdürülebilir geleceğine yönelik en başta gelen risklerden birisi olarak gösterilmekte ve olumsuz etkileri her geçen gün artan bir yoğunlukta karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Enerji üretimi ve kullanımı, iklim değişikliğinin temel etkenlerinden birisi olan küresel sera gazı salımlarının en büyük sebebidir. Bu sebeple enerji, iklim değişikliğiyle mücadelede en çok odaklanılması gereken alanlardan birisidir. Enerjinin iklim değişikliği üzerindeki bu olumsuz etkisi, temiz enerjiye dönüşüme yönelik çalışmaların ve yatırımların tüm dünyada artmasına sebep olmaktadır. Rekabetçi ve katma değeri yüksek sektörlerde gelişerek kalkınmasını hızlandırmak isteyen ülkeler ve şehirler, bu durumu aynı zamanda önemli bir ekonomik fırsat olarak görmektedir. Biyoenerji başlıca temiz enerji kaynaklarından birisi olarak, dünyanın temiz enerji dönüşümünde önemli sektörlerden birisidir. Avrupa’daki bölge ve şehirler biyoenerji alanındaki potansiyellerini kullanmak üzere akıllı uzmanlaşma çalışmaları yürütmekte ve bölgesel kalkınmalarını ivmelendirmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, İzmir’de biyoenerji odaklı akıllı uzmanlaşma potansiyeli, Avrupa Birliği Akıllı Uzmanlaşma Platformu’nun (S3 Platform) İyi Akıllı Uzmanlaşma Uygulaması Kriterleri’ne göre değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirme, literatür araştırması ile elde edilen veriler ışığında fark analizi yöntemi kullanılarak niteliksel olarak yapılmıştır. Bölgesel kalkınma ve temiz enerji alanlarında disiplinlerarası olarak gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın sonucunda, İzmir’de biyoenerji odaklı bir akıllı uzmanlaşma uygulamasına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.

Bioenergy Focused Smart Specialisation Potential in İzmir Within the Scope of Tackling Climate Change

Climate change is seen as one of the foremost risks to the sustainable future of the world and humanity, and its negative effects are increasing from day to day. Energy production and usage are the biggest cause of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is one of the main factors of climate change. Therefore, energy is one of the primary areas that should be focused on in tackling climate change. This negative effect of energy on climate change results in an increase in efforts and investments toward clean energy conversion all over the world. Countries and cities that want to accelerate their development by growing in competitive and high-value-added sectors see this situation as an important economic opportunity at the same time. As one of the main clean energy sources, bioenergy is one of the important sectors in the world's clean energy transformation. Regions and cities in Europe carry out smart specialisation studies to use their bioenergy potential and try to accelerate their regional development. In this study, the bioenergy focused smart specialization potential in İzmir was evaluated according to the Good Smart Specialization Practice Criteria of the European Union Smart Specialization Platform (S3 Platform). The evaluation was made qualitatively using the gap analysis method considering data gathered from the literature search. As a result of this interdisciplinary study in the fields of regional development and clean energy, suggestions for a bioenergy focused smart specialisation implementation in İzmir were presented.
