    The Interdependency Between Russia and the European Union: Security of Supply or Security of Demand?
    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2015) Dönmez, Sinem; Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe
    Enerjinin devletler için önemli bir role sahip olduğu yaygın olarak kabul edilmiş bir gerçektir. Enerji ticareti bağlamında ülkeler arasındaki karşılıklı bağımlılık düzeyi, bu alanda yaşanabilecek herhangi tartışmalı bir durum söz konusu olduğunda ülkeleri savunmasız bir konuma sokabilmektedir. Bu çerçeve kapsamında, nitekim son zamanlarda Ukrayna ve Rusya arasında yaşanmış olan Kırım krizinin başta Ukrayna, Rusya ve Avrupa Birliği olmak üzere küresel enerji piyasası üzerinde etkileri hissedilmiştir. Yaşanan bu kriz, doğal gaz tedarikinde Rusya'ya bağlı olan Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin tedarikte tek bir ülkeye fazlaca olan bağımlılığın yaratmış olduğu hassasiyeti azaltmak adına kaynak çeşitlendirmesi arayışına girmelerini tetikleyici bir unsur olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu duruma ek olarak, Rusya ve Avrupa Birliği krizin sonuçlarından, Rusya'nın doğal gazı için alternatif müşteriler ve AB'nin de kısa ve orta vadeli dönemde kaynak ve tedarikçi çeşitlendirmesi yapabilmek adına yeni alternatif arayışına girmesi sebebiyle olumsuz bir şekilde etkilenmişlerdir. Doğal gaz ithalatında gazının %34 (162,4 milyar m3)'ünü Rusya'dan tedarik eden bir birlik için kısa zamanda en büyük tedarik kaynağı yerine alternatiflerini bulmak zor olduğu kadar, Rusya için de kısa sürede doğal gazına yeni alıcı piyasalar bulmak için zorluklar söz konusudur. Bu sebeple de Kırım krizinin geçmişte yaşanmış olan doğal gaz krizleriyle birlikte Rusya ve AB arasındaki doğal gaz politikaları üzerinde bazı değişimler yaratacağı söylenebilir. Gelecekteki AB ve Rusya enerji ilişkilerinde yaşanabilmesi muhtemel değişikliklerin değerlendirilebilmesi adına bu tezin ana sorusu 'karşılıklı bağımlılık teorisi çerçevesinde gelecekteki Rusya ve AB arası enerji ilişkilerinde Rusya-Çin ve Rusya-Türkiye ilişkileri de göz önünde bulundurularak Kırım krizinin belirleyici bir rolünün olup olmadığı' olarak belirlenmiştir.

    Understanding the Citizen's Role in the Transition To a Smart Energy System: Are We Ready?
    (Mdpi, 2022) Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Altinci, Sebnem
    Energy transition is one of the main pillars of the European Union's climate change strategy suite. The policies set forth by European Union members to support energy transition are transposed into national policies, strategies, and action plans. Energy transition calls for empowering citizens and communities regarding energy-related initiatives. Of particular importance are smart energy systems and their potential for involving individuals and communities in energy transition initiatives. However, not all citizens are willing to invest in renewable energy or smart appliances. Thus, there is a need for implementing smart energy initiatives, which have three main steps, namely, awareness, mindset (readiness for action), and action. Bearing in mind the lack of uniformity in this area across the European Union, this manuscript assesses the levels of awareness, mindset, and action utilizing the results of a comprehensive international survey, the ECHOES project, with respect to demographic and socioeconomic variables, such as age, income level, and education level. The analysis reveals that 58% of respondents from the West European sample demonstrate a high level of awareness, 56% are ready for action, and 63% already demonstrate action. The percentages are similar for the East European sample, with 56% demonstrating a high level of awareness, 55% are ready for action, and 66% already demonstrating action. Overall, women have higher levels of awareness, readiness for action, and action. For both Western and Eastern European countries, education level and income level are important factors for smart energy adoption, with education levels proving to be more significant for East European countries.

    The Potential Impact of Eastern Mediterranean Natural Gas Development on the Cyprus Conflict
    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2015) Algun, Ecem; Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe
    Dünya üzerinde birçok önemli doğalgaz kaynakları bulunmaktadır. 2009 yılından itibaren bu konu Doğu Akdeniz bölgesi için de önemli bir hale gelmiştir. Bununla birlikte, Kıbrıs adasının yakınlarında da önemli doğal gaz rezervleri bulunmuştur. Bilindiği gibi, Kıbrıs'ta bir çözümsüzlük vardır. Ancak, bölgedeki doğalgaz gelişimi bu çözümsüzlüğü çözmek için bir araç olarak kullanılabilir. Bu sebeple, bu çalışmanın amacı, doğalgaz gelişiminin Kıbrıs çözümsüzlüğü üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmektir. Bu çözümsüzlüğün altında yatan nedenleri anlayabilmek için, çatışma yönetimi ve enerji güvenliği teorileri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, çözüm için olası sonuçları değerlendirmek adına bu önemli teoriler Kıbrıs Rum ve Kıbrıs Türk elit temsilcileri ile yapılan derinlemesine görüşmeler ile desteklenmiştir.

    Promoting Electricity Conservation Through Behavior Change: a Study Protocol for a Web-Based Multiple-Arm Parallel Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Public Library of Science, 2024) Asgarabad, M.H.; Vesely, S.; Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Caffaro, F.; Carrus, G.; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Kirchler, B.; Klockner, Christian A.
    Background and aims As a part of the framework of the EU-funded Energy efficiency through Behavior CHANge Transition (ENCHANT) project, the present paper intends to provide a “Research Protocol” of a web-based trial to: (i) assess the effectiveness of behavioral intervention strategies––either single or in combination––on electricity saving, and (ii) unravel the psychological factors contributing to intervention effectiveness in households across Europe. Methods and materials Six distinct interventions (i.e., information provision, collective vs. individual message framing, social norms, consumption feedback, competitive elements, and commitment strategies) targeting electricity saving in households from six European countries (i.e., Austria, Germany, Italy, Norway, Romania, and Türkiye) are evaluated, with an initial expected samples of about 1500 households per country randomly assigned to 12 intervention groups and two control groups, and data is collected through an ad-hoc online platform. The primary outcome is the weekly electricity consumption normalized to the last seven days before measurement per person per household. Secondary outcomes are the peak consumption during the last day before measurement and the self-reported implementation of electricity saving behaviors (e.g., deicing the refrigerator). The underlying psychological factors expected to mediate and/or moderate the intervention effects on these outcomes are intentions to save electricity, perceived difficulty of saving energy, attitudes to electricity saving, electricity saving habit strength, social norms to save electricity, personal norms, collective efficacy, emotional reaction to electricity consumption, and national identity. The intervention effectiveness will be evaluated by comparing psychological factors and consumption variables before and after the intervention, leading to a 14 (groups including 2 control groups) × 6 (time) mixed factorial design, with one factor between (group) and one factor within subjects (time)–6 measurements of the psychological factors and 6 readings of the electricity meters, which gives then 5 weeks of electricity consumption. Results Data collection for the present RCT started in January 2023, and by October 2023 data collection will conclude. Discussion Upon establishing feasibility and effectiveness, the outcomes of this study will assist policymakers, municipalities, NGOs, and other communal entities in identifying impactful interventions tailored to their unique circumstances and available resources. Researchers will benefit from a flexible, structured tool that allows the design, implementation and monitoring of complex interventions protocols. Crucially, the intervention participants will benefit from electricity saving strategies, fostering immediate effectiveness of the interventions in real-life contexts. © 2024 Public Library of Science.

    Estimating the Political, Economic and Environmental Factors' Impact on the Installed Wind Capacity Development: a System Gmm Approach
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Kilinc, Dilara; Onater-Isberk, Esra; Yelkenci, Tezer
    This study analyzes the political, economic and environmental factors' impact on the installed wind capacity development around the globe, considering the different regions for the period between 1997 and 2014. The indicators used for this study are installed wind capacity development, GDP per capita, carbon dioxide emission generation, foreign direct investment (FDI,) stock, total energy import dependency, primary energy intensity, the shares of wind and hydroelectricity consumption in electricity generation and price of electricity. System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM) estimator is performed to reveal dynamic relationship on the indicators in the model. The estimates for the period 1997-2014 are reported for the sample of twenty-six countries, as well as for diverse regions, covering non continental & Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Western & Central Europe, and non-European OECD. A set of a priori assumptions are also tested for the expected impacts. The results reveal the consistency of this study's a priori assumptions associated with the impact of different indicators on development of wind installed capacity. This study also found that higher installed wind capacity of the previous period has positive impact on that of the current period. Likewise, higher carbon dioxide emissions also contribute to installed wind capacity development. However, diverse regions experience altered effects on a number of indicators, such as price of electricity and total import dependency. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Trinity on Thin Ice: Integrating Three Perspectives on the European Union's Likelihood of Achieving Energy and Climate Targets
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2018) Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Turan, Ugur
    The energy policy of the EU is established around the objectives of sustainability, competitiveness, and security of supply. These objectives are embodied in targets known as the 20-20-20. The targets concern decreasing Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) generation, increasing the share of renewables in total energy consumption, and raising energy efficiency. This paper analyses the target achievements through Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and a classification of schemes that uses the typology derived from three sources: World Energy Council's (WEC) energy trilemma, Fragile States Index (FSI), taking a comparative perspective across countries. It uses mathematical programming, and the resulting efficiency levels reveal the effectiveness of the input parameters in terms of the policy toolbox, motivators, barriers and other economic, cultural and social factors, and the execution practices for achieving the 20-20-20 targets. These efficiency values aid policy makers addressing the process parameters towards target achievements. The results show that WEC scores and FSI performances are not direct indicators of performances in terms of target achievements. For instance, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom were not found to be as efficient as their standings would suggest, whereas Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta and Romania have the highest efficiency values.

    How To Exploit Sustainable Food Consumption Habits of Individuals: Evidence From a Household Survey in Izmir, Turkiye
    (Mdpi, 2023) Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe; Kentmen Çin, Çiğdem; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Savaş, Zehra Funda; Solak, Berfu; Önder, Burçin; Çınar, Gözde; Özcureci, Berker; Kentmen-Cin, Cigdem
    Sustainable production and consumption in the food supply chain are critical for the United Nations' sustainable development goals (SDGs). Therefore, it is significant to identify the factors that shape individuals' food consumption behaviour. Turkiye prioritises sustainable food consumption and the prevention of food loss and waste as a national focus. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the drivers of individuals' food consumption habits in Turkiye through a survey with the participants being households in Izmir, the third most populous city in Turkiye. More specifically, the study has two main objectives: (i) to identify the factors influencing households' food consumption preferences and (ii) to demonstrate how the factors concerning sustainable food consumption interact through a survey conducted in Izmir. Based on the state-of-art literature, an online survey was completed by 515 respondents in Izmir. Through an analysis of the survey responses, this study provides a descriptive analysis of socio-demographic variables and a correlation analysis between socio-demographics and sustainable food consumption behaviours, including food shopping behaviour, food purchasing and consumption behaviour, dietary habits, and food waste behaviour. The results demonstrate that socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, education level, income level, and the number of residents in the household are significant for sustainable food consumption behaviour. The survey results also demonstrate that the respondents do not consider carbon footprint generation from food production and transportation in their decisions or behaviours. The study's main limitation is that the survey is implemented in a single city, Izmir. Future research may extend the scope to other cities in Turkiye, allowing a comparative analysis.

    The Significance of Enabling Human Consideration in Policymaking: How To Get the E-Ferry That You Want
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2021) Berntsen, Alexander; Saether, Simen; Royrvik, Jens; Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Røyrvik, Jens; Sæther, Simen
    There is broad agreement in literature and policy that the transport sector needs to maximise electric mobility, in order to lower both energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This ongoing transformation continues to require a high degree of technological innovation. Consequently, policymakers are striving to reward innovation in procurement tender contracts, in order to achieve sustainable innovation. At the same time, such contracts are often designed with a principle of technology neutrality in mind, to prevent any distortion of the market logic. This article suggests that it is misguided to try to perfect the logic of the tender system and that articulating contract that rewards innovation is no guarantee of a sustainable solution. Rather than being technological, the problem should be seen as moral: the mounting environmental challenge. Policymakers thus have clear ideas about the action needed based on what they, through moral conviction, consider to be appropriate action. This case study-conducted as a part of the EU H2020-funded ECHOES Project under Work Package 6-on the electrification of the Flakk-Rorvik ferry connexion reveals how policymakers were able to achieve the intended results: in this case, an e-ferry rather than a biodiesel ferry, in spite of, rather than because of, the tender system logic. They achieved this by involving stakeholders in the process with a continuous and uninterrupted dialogue. The project stakeholders were able to intervene in the tender system logic in favour of human considerations. We argue that this project was a success because human judgement, not system logic, was the driving force. By extension, we argue that systems will only allow policymakers to pursue moral issues to the degree that they allow human intervention.

    United States and Russia in the Arctic Energy Future: Rivalry or Harmony?
    (İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2014) Toker, Seray; Biresselioğlu, Mehmet Efe
    Arktik Bölgesi daha önce keşfedilmemiş bir alan olmasa da, özellikle 2000'li yılların başından itibaren bir dizi olaylar zinciri Bölge'deki enerji kaynaklarının önem kazanmasını sağlamıştır. Amerika'nın 2008 yılında açıklamış olduğu jeolojik çalışma, dünyanın keşfedilmemiş petrol ve doğal gaz kaynaklarının neredeyse bir çeyreğini içinde barındıran Arktik'i yeni enerji bölgesi olarak atfetmiş ve Bölge'ye olan ilginin artmasındaki en temel itici gücü yaratmıştır. İlerleyen yıllarda, Arktik Bölgesi'ndeki muhtemel petrol ve doğal gaz üretim potansiyeli, bu üretimi belirleyecek olan temel motivasyonlar ve engeller üzerine pek çok bilimsel ve akademik çalışma yürütülmüştür. Arktik Bölgesi'ne ilişkin mevcut genel literatürden farklı olarak, bu çalışma Bölge'nin iki büyük gücü olan Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Rusya Federasyonu'na odaklanmaktadır. Bu iki tarihsel rakip için Arktik Bölgesi'nin önemini analiz etmeyi amaçlayan bu çalışma, bu devletlerin Ulusal Arktik Stratejilerini, uluslararası ilişkiler teorilerinden realizmin temel prensipleri ve enerji güvenliği kavramı doğrultusunda değerlendirmektedir. Bu kapsamda, çalışma, oyun teorisinin üç modeli (sıfır-toplamlı oyun, pozitif-toplamlı oyun ve negatif-toplamlı oyun) üzerine kurulmuştur. Uluslararası ilişkiler tarihinde en muhtemel model sıfır-toplamlı oyun olsa da, uluslararası ilişkilerin de zaman içinde değişen doğasını göz önünde bulundurarak bu çalışma diğer iki alternatif model üzerine de açıklama getirmektedir. Arktik'in geleceğini belirleyecek faktör ise rekabet ya da iş birliği arzusu olacaktır.
