Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Promoting 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.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.

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.Master Thesis The Interdependency Between Russia and the European Union: Security of Supply or Security of Demand?(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2015) Dönmez, Sinem; Biresselioğlu, Mehmet EfeEnerjinin 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.Master Thesis Exploring the Rationale Behind the Strategic Role of Natural Gas in Chinese Energy Policy Making(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2015) Soytekin, Özge; Biresselioğlu, Mehmet EfeNüfus ve ekonomik büyüme ülkelerin enerji tüketimi ve üretimi açısından önemli aktörler olarak kabul edilmektedir. Çin en kalabalık nüfuslu ülke ve en fazla hızla büyüyen ekonomiye sahip ülke olduğu için, dünyanın en fazla enerji üreten ve tüketen ülkesi olmuştur ve bu durum dünya enerji piyasalarında da son derece etkili bir ülke olmasını sağlamaktadır. 1993 yılına kadar, Çin enerji kaynaklarına dayalı olarak kendi kendine yeten bir ülke olmuştur, bu demek oluyor ki Çin'deki enerji üretimi ulusal tüketimi karşılamaktaydı. Ancak, Çin'deki ekonomik büyüme ülkedeki enerji talebinin artmasına neden oldu ve diğer ülkelerden enerji kaynakları ithal etmeye başladı. Tarihsel olarak, Çin'in birincil enerji kaynağı 2013 yılında toplam enerji tüketiminin %67,4'e sahip olan kömürdür. Çin büyük kömür rezervlerine sahip olmasına rağmen, kömürün yanmasından ortaya çıkan olumsuz etkilerden dolayı, 2009 yılından sonra kömür ithal etmeye ihtiyaç duydu. Yüksek kömür tüketimi sonucunda, Çin dünyadaki önde gelen karbondioksit yayıcı ülke olmuştur. Bundan dolayı, kömür kaynaklarını fosil yakıtlar arasında daha fazla çevre dostu olan doğalgaz ile çeşitlendirmesi gerekmektedir. Enerji güvenliği Çin'in yeni enerji politikasının temel hedefi olup beş temel boyuta sahiptir. Bunlar sırasıyla (1) Elverişlilik (2) Karşılanabilirlik, (3) Erişilebilirlik, (4) Kabul edilebilirlik ve (5) Çeşitlendirme. Çin yeni bir politika olarak 12. Beş Yıllık Plan içerisinde enerji güvenliği stratejisi hazırlıyor, bu plan 2020 yılına kadar % 10 oranında Çin'in tüm enerji kaynakları arasında doğal gazın payının artmasını içermektedir. Çin 'in yeni enerji politikasının ışığı altında, bu tezin ana amaçları Çin'in tüm enerji kaynakları arasında doğal gazın payının artmasının nedenlerini, gelecekteki Çin enerji güvenliği için bu talebin olası etkilerini ve enerji güvenliği açısından küresel gaz ticaretini incelemek ve analiz etmektir.Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 43How Vulnerable Are Countries To Resource Curse?: a Multidimensional Assessment(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Gonca, Arsen; Kolcu, Onat; Yetim, AhmetThis study aims to construct a composite index for measuring the vulnerability to resource curse in selected resource-rich countries through an analysis of the diverse factors, ranging from economic to governmental, social and political, that affect the resource curse phenomenon and its impacts. The proposed Resource Curse Vulnerability Index (RCVI) is based on 9 sub-indicators, namely government effectiveness, voice and accountability, political stability, rule of law, natural resources rent, GDP growth, human development level, transparency level and state fragility index. We perform the calculations and present the RCVI values of 55 countries in the time interval from 2005 to 2015. This study also provides an analysis of the RCVI values and rankings for the countries over the associated time interval. These results point to a clustering of the countries: A number of countries can be identified as low-RCVI countries that are principally not vulnerable to the resource curse, whereas a number of other countries are high-RCVI countries who suffer heavily from the resource curse. The more interesting group is the medium-RCVI countries that share geographical and cultural aspects with high-RCVI countries, however, have achieved substantially better performances, by taking appropriate steps to address their internal stability as well as economic situations.Book Part Energy Security in the European Union: Challenges and Perspectives(Palgrave, 2011) Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5The 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 HakanThere 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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 9Clashing Interests in the Eastern Mediterranean: What About Turkey?(Seta Foundation, 2019) Biresselioglu, Mehmet EfeThe Eastern Mediterranean region has recently emerged as one of the pivotal foci of international affairs due to its considerable natural gas reserves. The region has become a point of intersection for surrounding countries and external actors, as well as major energy market players. The main challenge associated with Eastern Mediterranean natural gas is the position of the reserves in the Mediterranean Sea and the resulting ownership problem among its littoral states, while the de facto division of and disputes over, the island of Cyprus is closely connected to the issue. Hence, the debates involve two key questions: (1) which countries have ownership rights, and (2) which countries will be the natural gas transit countries. This article examines the standpoints of Turkey and the other actors involved in the game in the Eastern Mediterranean. The positions are presented with a focus on how different actors interpret current developments, perceive threats, and formulate their reactions.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 26Establishing an Energy Security Framework for a Fast-Growing Economy: Industry Perspectives From Turkey(Elsevier, 2017) Biresselioglu, Mehmet Efe; Yildirim, Cansu; Demir, Muhittin Hakan; Tokcaer, SinemEnergy security is currently one of the priorities in governmental agendas, particularly for fast-growing economies such as Turkey. These economies which typically depend on energy-intense industrial production require a consistent, reliable supply of energy to support their economic development, especially the ones with limited indigenous energy resources. As the Industrial sector plays a major role in energy demand, the successful implementation of energy security strategy also depends on the cooperation of intensive energy consuming industrial companies. Therefore, this paper investigates the interrelationship between Turkish industry's perspective and government's energy security strategy papers, providing a case with the potential to enlighten the process. It also aims to gain insight into the industry sector's view of the energy security in this context, through a qualitative inquiry. An analysis of resulting concepts, and the interaction and interrelation among these enable the development of a Turkish energy security framework based on the views of industrial sector. In addition, a set of policy recommendations are developed following this framework. This study also identifies possible areas of discrepancies between industry and government perceptions, and thus, potentially promoting levels of interaction and understanding between the two key parties.

Bu çalışma, enerji adaleti kavramı temelinde, sekiz farklı gösterge aracılığyla çok boyutlu bir analiz kullanarak, seçilen ülkelerin enerji adaleti performansını ölçmek için bir endeks tasarlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Söz konusu göstergeler; "kişi başına düşen GSYİH", "elektriğe erişim", "karbon yoğunluğu", "kişi başına düşen karbon salınımı", "yemek pişirmek için temiz yakıtlara ve teknolojilere erişim", "kişi başına düşen enerji kullanımı", "enerji yoğunluğu ve yenilenebilir enerjinin toplam nihai enerji tüketimi içindeki payından" oluşmaktadır. Çalışma, 2006 ve 2016 yılları arasında 81 ülkenin Enerji Adalet Endeksi değerlerine ilişkin hesaplamaları ortaya koymaktadır. Sonuçlar iki farklı şekilde analiz edilmiştir. İlk olarak sınıflandırma yöntemine başvurulmuştur. Bazı ülkeler, yüksek enerji adaleti performansına sahip ülkeler olarak sınıflandırılırken, bazıları düşük enerji adaleti performansına sahip ülkeler olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Örneklem olarak alınan ülkelerin çoğunluğunun orta düzeyde enerji adaleti puanına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bu durum, çevresel sorunlara ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketimine daha fazla önem veren gelişmiş ülkelerin, halen karbon yoğun bir ekonomiye bağımlı olan azgelişmiş veya gelişmekte olan ülkelerden enerji adaleti performansı bakımından üstün geldiği önerisini kanıtlamaktadır.
