Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Hybrid Renewable Energy to Greener and Smarter Cities: A Case Study of Kayseri Province(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Bekçi, Eyüp; Koca, KemalIn this study, a hybrid energy system was implemented to fulfill the electricity requirements of the trams operating in Kayseri province. The tram's annual electricity consumption data was acquired on a monthly basis from the local electricity company in Kayseri. Utilizing the obtained data, energy and cost simulations were conducted employing the Homer-Pro program. The primary objective of this investigation is to enhance sustainability while satisfying electricity demands with minimal carbon emissions. Consequently, the established hybrid energy system incorporates renewable energy sources, specifically wind, solar, and biomass energy, with the inclusion of batteries for energy storage. Furthermore, generators and converters are integrated for energy conversion purposes. The study encompasses a detailed cost analysis to identify the most economically efficient hybrid energy system, determined through optimization studies. Through this research, it is anticipated that the implementation of such a system will significantly diminish carbon emissions in Kayseri, contributing to a substantial increase in sustainability. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 89Citation - Scopus: 94A Way Forward in Reducing Carbon Emissions in Environmentally Friendly Countries: The Role of Green Growth and Environmental Taxes(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022-02-21) Dogan, Eyup; Hodzic, Sabina; Sikic, Tanja FaturGiven recent environmental reforms and the focus on the problem of climate change, it is necessary to evaluate whether green growth and environmental taxes can reduce CO2 emissions for countries. Even though a number of studies have analysed the ways to reduce environmental pollution, the literature lacks enough evidence for the role of green growth and environmental taxes in determining the level of carbon emissions. Therefore, the objective of the empirical analysis is to estimate the impacts on CO2 emissions of green growth and environmental taxes by including sustainable indicators for a group of 25 environmentally friendly countries from 1994 to 2018 by applying advanced panel data analysis models. By applying the novel quantile regressions on the largest amount of available data from 1994 to 2018, this article shows that the coefficients of green growth, environmental taxes, renewable energy and energy efficiency are negative at lower, medium and higher quantiles. According to the results of the quantile regression, environmental taxes, renewable energy and energy efficiency are key factors in decreasing CO2 emissions. Overall, renewable energy should be given greater priority through research supports, subsidies and government incentives while environmental taxes should be more implemented to discourage activities that promote pollution.
