Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Destined for Coal?: a "hierarchy of Harms" and the Prospects of Renewable Energy in Kosovo(Springer, 2022) Aydın Dikmen, Bengü; Buhari Gülmez, DidemRelying on interviews conducted in the summer of 2019 with parliamentary advisors, civil society activists, public officials and the EU, OSCE, and UNDP missions in Kosovo, this study provides an overview of the debates about the building of the new coal power plant by a US-led (UK-based) Company ContourGlobal. It discusses how different actors in Kosovo state and society approach the renewable energy question. An important obstacle against Kosovo's transition to renewable energy derives from the absence of consensus about the main threats and goals facing Kosovo. In this context, rationalist and constructivist stances imply different "hierarchies of harms". © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

Currently, its CO2 emissions alone have crossed 400 Mt. Within the scope of 2 °C targets (2D scenario), the country can easily surpass this target test by increasing its renewable energy sources as a primary energy source mix, by developing its Enhanced Geothermal Sources (EGS) locked up in the radiogenic granites of western Anatolia. The radiogenic heat generated by these granites, spread over an area of 4221 sq. km, varies from 5.3 to 16.34 µW/m3. Based on the electricity generation capacity of granites from Soultz-sous-Forets and Cooper Basin EGS sites, the combined electricity generation capacity of Kestanbol and Kozak granite plutons is about 830 billion kWh. For the period extending from 2019 to 2023, Turkey is aiming at reducing the usage of gas for electricity generation from 29.9 to 20.7%, increasing the share of renewable energy sources from 32.5 to 38.8%, increasing the electricity production from local energy sources from 150 to 219 TWh and increasing the electricity usage per-capita from 3.7 to 4.3 MWh. These energy targets can be achieved by major contributions from hydrothermal and EGS energy sources. This review demonstrates that besides electricity and heat, EGS energy can be utilized, together with other renewable energy sources, such as hydrothermal, wind, and concentrated solar for providing fresh water through the desalination process. These energy sources would provide food, energy, and water security to the country for several decades.Article Citation - WoS: 67Citation - Scopus: 74Suitable Site Selection for Offshore Wind Farms in Turkey’s Seas: Gis-Mcdm Based Approach(Springer, 2021) Genç, Mustafa Serdar; Karipoğlu, Fatih; Koca, Kemal; Azgın, Şükrü TanerOffshore wind energy resources are not fully exploited renewable energy resources until now and could play a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of climate change by the generation of renewable electricity. Planning processes such as technical, social, environmental, various agents, and political concerns are necessary for the development of offshore wind energy projects. The objective of this study was to assess the comprehensive feasibility of a desired offshore wind power plant applying Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) guidance for the coastal area of Turkey. Furthermore, EMODnet (the European Marine Observation and Data Network) was employed for data acquisition to unlock fragmented and hidden marine data resources and to facilitate investment in sustainable coastal and offshore activities. For the determination of potential site with Multi-Criteria Decision Maker Method, 3 main criteria Technical (C1), Environmental (C2), and Social (C3), and 13 sub-criteria were determined. Based on these criteria, the suitability map was created by using all criteria map layers with their buffer zones. The final map indicated that %1.38 (3294.8 km(2)) of Turkey Seas was suitable for offshore wind farms. The most suitable region was determined in the Marmara Sea with 1194 km(2). The Aegean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea were following the Marmara Sea in terms of the huge suitable regions respectively. It was apparent that the growth of offshore wind farms in Turkey would increase if the supporting mechanism and the necessary legislation were ensured.
