    Life Cycle Assessment of Black Tea Production and Consumption in Turkiye: Insights From Waste Management Scenarios
    (Elsevier, 2025) Küçüker, Mehmet Ali; Küçüker, Mehmet Ali; Ediger, Volkan S.; Kucuker, Mehmet Ali; Berk, Istemi; Inan, Ali; Tugcu, Melisa; 03.07. Department of Environmental Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This study conducts a life cycle assessment (LCA) of tea production and consumption in T & uuml;rkiye, the world leader in per capita tea consumption. Aiming to identify environmental hotspots and propose sustainable solutions, a cradle-to-grave LCA was performed using CCaLC2 software, CML methodology, and the Ecoinvent 3.0 database. It covers cultivation, processing, transportation, and consumption stages, focusing on key environmental indicators like carbon footprint and acidification potential. The results reveal that consumption dominates the environmental footprint (91%) due to energy-intensive brewing methods. Cultivation and transportation contribute minimally (4% each). This highlights the need for promoting energy-efficient brewing practices and consumer adoption of renewable energy sources. The study also explores the environmental implications of different waste management strategies. Composting emerged as the most beneficial approach for reducing the carbon footprint and photochemical oxidants creation, while incineration might be preferable for other impact categories. This study underscores the importance of addressing energy consumption during tea brewing and encouraging renewable energy use among consumers. Additionally, it promotes composting as a crucial waste management strategy for a more sustainable tea value chain in T & uuml;rkiye. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, industry players, and tea drinkers to make informed decisions that minimize environmental impact.

    Towards Renewable Energy Islands in Türkiye: Potential and Challenges
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Karipoğlu, Fatih; Denizli, Osmancan; 03.06. Department of Energy Systems Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The necessity of renewables is increasing day by day due to increasing energy demand. Therefore, novel approaches and methods for producing electricity in an environmentally friendly manner are valuable and critical. The seas have enormous potential in terms of wind, waves, solar, and hydrogen systems. The study presents the investigation of the potential dynamics for energy island formation on T & uuml;rkiye borders. Also, targets, legislation, and environmental and social concerns are discussed comprehensively. Results show that offshore wind and hydrogen are promising systems shortly while solar and wave energy needs more research for T & uuml;rkiye. The Marmara and Aegean Seas are considered technically feasible for offshore wind installations, while the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas have the highest technical solar potential. In addition, the highest wave power is detected along the line from I(center dot)zmir to Antalya Coast while hydrogen energy systems receive great interest with academic and industrial projects in the Marmara Coastline. Profiting from marine energy, marine spatial planning, and grid availability are detected as the shortcoming issues in T & uuml;rkiye. The study could give critical information to energy planners, and decision makers for potential projects.
