Farklı Enerji Kaynaklarının Çevresel Açıdan İktisadi Büyüme İle Olan İlişkisi

Yirminci yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra önemini hissettirmeye başlayan çevre ve çevresel duyarlılık kavramları özellikle yirmibirinci yüzyılın başından itibaren hemen her disiplin üzerinde önemli bir etki alanına sahip olmuştur. Sanayileşmenin artmasıyla beraber gerek sanayi tesisleri gerekse nihai sanayi ürünlerinin çevreye yansıyan negatif etkisi iktisat ve iktisadi kalkınma kavramlarını da bu bağlamda tartışmaya açmıştır. Fosil enerji kaynaklarından nükleer enerjiye geçilmesi ve üretimde yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanılması, karbon emisyonu ve iktisadi büyüme birbiriyle yakından ilintili multidisipliner bir çalışma alanı haline gelmiştir. 1982-2020 yılları arasındaki döneme ait verilerin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada ele alınan ülkelerin karbon emisyonu miktarı, kişi başına düşen gayri safi yurtiçi hasılası, nükleer enerji ve yenilenebilir enerji arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişki panel eşbütünleşme testine tabi tutulmuş ve karbon emisyonu ve ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönemli anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan nükleer ve yenilenebilir enerji üretimi ile karbon emisyonu arasında ise anlamlı bir ilişki saptanamamıştır.

The Relationship of Different Energy Sources and Economic Growth in Environmental Perspective

The concepts of environment and environmental sensitivity, which started to make themselves felt after the second half of the twentieth century, have had a significant impact on almost every discipline, especially since the beginning of the twenty-first century. With the increase in industrialization, the negative impact of both industrial facilities and final industrial products on the environment has opened the concepts of economics and economic development to discussion in this context. The transition from fossil energy sources to nuclear energy and the use of renewable energy sources in production, carbon emissions and economic growth have become a multidisciplinary field of study, which are closely related to each other. In this study, in which data from the period between 1982 and 2020 are used, the long-term relationship between the amount of carbon emissions, per capita gross domestic product, nuclear energy and renewable energy was subjected to panel cointegration test and a long-term significant relationship between carbon emission and economic growth was examined. a relationship has been identified. On the other hand, no significant relationship was found between nuclear and renewable energy production and carbon emissions.
