TÜRKİYE KARBONDİOKSİT SALIMI VE BİLEŞENLERİ: 1980-2014 DÖNEMİ İÇİN BİR İNCELEME

It is known that carbon dioxide emissions and climate change have a direct relationship. Emissions of carbon dioxide gases have an effect on global warming. Thus, carbon dioxide emissions are a widely investigated topic for researchers. In this study, the amount of carbon dioxide gas emissions and their component of it are investigated for the 1980-2014 period in Turkey. The components of carbon dioxide emissions are electricity and heat production, fuel consumption, liquid fuel consumption, manufacturing industries and construction, other sectors, residential buildings and commercial services, and solid fuel consumption. In the analysis, annual data are used. At first descriptive statistics and data visualization methods are used to investigate data. The results show that there is an increasing trend in CO2 emissions. However, there is no main source of carbon dioxide emissions. Whereas liquid fuel consumption is the largest share of the components of the year 2000, its share is decreasing after the year 2000.
