ALTERNATIVE ENERGY CONSULTANCY
A very large part of energy consumption in Turkey and in the world is fulfilled by non-renewable energy sources. If an average figure is given, more than 85% of the energy used in the world and Turkey is obtained from non-renewable sources.
However, causes such as climate crises, environmental destruction, global warming and the decline of fossil fuels have brought renewable energy to an important point and been a driving force in increasing use. For this reason, the production and use of renewable energy sources has gained importance in Turkey in recent years. According to World Bank data, the share of renewable energy in total energy use in our country is about 13%. Renewable energy sources refer to alternative energy sources such as wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy and wave energy.
There are many deficiencies in the production, use and distribution of alternative energy sources. In the very near future, the necessity of meeting most of the energy needs for companies, government agencies, homes and other social areas with renewable energy will be moved to a vital dimension. This is where alternative energy consulting comes into play.
