“…Krewitt et al, (2007) determine that renewable energy sources could provide as much as half of the world's energy needs by 2050 in a targetoriented scenario to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Due to increasing concerns over the environmental consequences of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuels, renewable energy has emerged as a substitute energy source, as any effort to reduce CO2 emissions and control climate change must indubitably include the reorganization of the energy sector (Abulfotuh, 2007;Apergis and Payne, 2012). A few studies reveal that this expectation may be due to strong and high demand for energy in developing countries (Pao and Tsai, 2010;Alam et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2014).…”

This study explores the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the so-called European Union 5 (EU-5) countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) for the 1985-2016 period. In doing so, we employ a carbon emission function to investigate the environmental Kuznets curve phenomenon, which describes a relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. The empirical results confirm the existence of an N-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the EU-5 countries. We incorporate additional variables such as renewable electricity consumption, trade openness, natural resource abundance, and energy innovation to augment the carbon emission function. Renewable electricity consumption, natural resources, and energy innovation improve environmental quality, while trade openness and the interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption exert a positive impact on CO2 emissions. This study is novel in that it presents an interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption. We also confirm the need for renewable energy regulations related to increasing renewable sources and promoting energy innovation to reduce the negative effects of energy and fossil energy resources on environmental degradation.

“…Making an energy planning decision involves a process of balancing diverse ecological, social, technical, and economic aspects in time. This balance is critical for the survival of nature and prosperity of energy-dependent nations (Kaygusuz 2002;Soytas, Sari 2006;Abulfotuh 2007;Yuan et al 2008;Demirbas 2008). …”

Abstract.Energy is substantial for social development and has an essential role for the survival and development of human as an environmental factor. Due to the serious increase ofthe world's primary energy price and rapid development of Turkey's economy, energy consumption of Turkey has become a major problem. For that purpose, opinions of the decision makers upon the relative importance of selection criteria are determined by using a fuzzy AHP procedure based upon type-2 fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making based upon the interval type-2 TOPSIS method is used to rank the best renewable alternative energy. In this paper, a fuzzy multi criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology was proposed to determine the best renewable energy alternatives for Turkey, because type-2 fuzzy sets provide additional degrees of independence to represent the uncertainty and the fuzziness of real world applications. The results showed that wind was the best alternative for Turkey's energy investments, as being followed subsequently by solar, biomass, geothermal, hydraulic and hydrogen. The results were based upon the opinions of three energy planning experts who ranked the energy alternatives according to the ten criteria we have selected.

“…Masui et al (2006) proposed some reasonable ways to resolve the issues related to the climate change. Abulfotuh (2007) recommended considering an immediate change in constitute of energy resource owing to the escalating energy demand. Tiwari (2011) proposed that the promotion of RES may also be significant in decreasing carbon dioxide emissions.…”
