| Özet |
| This paper investigates strategies to address climate change by promoting sustainable energy technologies and consumption practices. It examines renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal and their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The study also explores energy optimization techniques, focusing on genetic algorithms (GAs) and smart energy systems like smart grids and microgrids, which enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. The research highlights the role of the circular economy in fostering sustainable consumption through recycling and waste management. Furthermore, the paper explores the economic trade-offs between energy consumption and environmental harm, focusing on the impact of both renewable and fossil fuel energies. A dual methodological approach is employed: first, an endogenous growth model excluding environmental factors, followed by a modified version incorporating environmental considerations. Using a continuous genetic algorithm and data from 2000 to 2025, the study forecasts the optimal trajectory for renewable energy’s share in global energy consumption under two scenarios. The findings suggest that by 2025, renewable energy could represent 82.4% of the total energy consumption under environmental constraints, up from the current share of 45%. This growth is hindered by challenges like droughts, which impact hydropower production. The study concludes that achieving a sustainable energy transition requires comprehensive policies integrating renewable energy expansion, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. These findings provide … |
