General Overview of New Energy Geopolitics

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 57 - 63, 31.12.2020

Abstract

Since the industrial revolution in our world, fossil energy sources, especially coal and oil, have been preferred as energy sources. For this reason, the fiction in the field of energy geopolitics is based on fossil energy resources. In particular, the asymmetric distribution of oil reserves and consumption points on the world map and its results have been the main field of study of energy geopolitics. Nowadays, there is a decrease in the rocket speed in energy costs generated from renewable energy technologies, especially wind and solar energy. This has made renewable energy technologies more economically preferable than conventional energy technologies using fossil energy resources. Renewable energy technologies are the most prominent technology type in both developed and developing countries in the energy investments to be made until 2040. It is foreseen that there will be significant changes in the traditional energy geopolitical concepts as well as the orientation towards renewable energy sources. The aim of this study is to explain the relationship between changing energy geopolitics and renewable energy technologies.

Yeni Enerji Jeopolitiğine Genel Bakış

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 57 - 63, 31.12.2020

Abstract

Dünyamızda sanayi devriminden günümüze kadar enerji kaynağı olarak kömür ve petrol başta olmak üzere fosil enerji kaynakları tercih edilmiştir. Bu sebeple enerji jeopolitiği alanındaki kurgu da fosil enerji kaynakları üzerine kurgulanmıştır. Özellikle petrol rezervlerinin ve tüketim noktalarının dünya haritası üzerindeki asimetrik dağılımı ve bunun sonuçları enerji jeopolitiğinin temel çalışma alanını oluşturmuştur. Günümüzde rüzgar ve güneş enerjileri başta olmak üzere yenilenebilir enerji teknolojilerinden üretilen enerji maliyetlerindeki önemli düşüşler yaşanmaktadır. Bu durum yenilenebilir enerji teknolojilerini fosil enerji kaynaklarının kullanıldığı konvansiyonel enerji teknolojilerine göre ekonomik olarak daha tercih edilebilir bir duruma getirmiştir. 2040 yılına kadar yeni yapılacak enerji yatırımlarında hem gelişmiş hem de gelişmekte olan ülkelerde öne çıkan teknoloji türü, yenilenebilir enerji teknolojileri olacaktır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına yönelimle birlikte geleneksel enerji jeopolitiği konseptlerinde de önemli değişiklerin olacağı öngörülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, değişen enerji jeopolitiği ve yenilenebilir enerji teknolojileri arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamaktır.
