Abstract

Environmentally sustainable development requires a balance between economic growth targets and a healthy environment so as to improve the quality of life for present and future generations. By their very nature contributing both to environmental degradation/ resource depletion and economic growth/ development, energy issues are key to this balance. The challenge is to find ways to minimize the energy-related environmental costs of development without frustrating economic growth. Aiming to evaluate the magnitude of this challenge for Turkey, this paper discusses the implications of a counterfactual replacement of existing production technologies by environmentally more friendly alternatives and formulates policy recommendations.
