Özet:

 Production activities all over the world are highly dependent on traditional energy sources. The quantity of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is greatly increased by the extensive use of conventional energy sources. Climate change and an increase in the planets average temperature result from this. Substitution of traditional sources of energy production with renewable energy is among the leading actions in terms of reducing carbon emissions and preventing environmental damage. The study examines the relationship between economic growth and renewable energy consumption and carbon emissions for the ten countries with the biggest installed capacity of renewable energy USA, Germany, Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Spain, Japan, Canada between 2000 and 2020 using the Prais-Winsten regression approach. According to the results, the effect of renewable energy consumption and economic growth on carbon emissions is statistically significant. The effect of renewable energy consumption on carbon emissions is found to be inverse, while the effect of economic growth on carbon emissions is found to be the same. Based on the findings, the conclusion section emphasizes the importance of policies towards renewable energy as its use in the production process reduces environmental damage.

 Tüm dünyada üretim faaliyetleri yüksek ölçüde geleneksel enerji kaynaklarına bağlı olarak devam etmektedir. Geleneksel enerji kaynaklarının yoğun kullanımı atmosferde bulunan karbondioksit ve diğer sera gazlarının miktarını önemli ölçüde artırmaktadır. Bu durum, Dünya ortalama sıcaklığının artmasına ve iklim değişimine neden olmaktadır. Enerji üretiminde geleneksel kaynakların yenilenebilir enerji ile ikamesi, karbon emisyonlarının azaltılması ve çevresel tahribatın önlenmesi açısından başta gelen eylemler arasındadır. Çalışmada yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ve ekonomik büyümenin karbon emisyonlarına olan etkisi, yenilenebilir enerji kurulu kapasitesi en yüksek 10 ülke ABD, Almanya, Brezilya, Çin, Fransa Hindistan, İtalya, İspanya, Japonya, Kanada için 2000-2020 dönemi kapsamında Prais-Winsten regresyon yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Ulaşılan sonuçlara göre, yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ve ekonomik büyümenin karbon emisyonlarına olan etkisi istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin karbon emisyonlarına etkisi ters yönlü, ekonomik büyümenin karbon emisyonlarına olan etkisi ise aynı yönlü bulunmuştur. Bulgulardan hareketle sonuç bölümünde, üretim sürecinde kullanımının çevresel tahribatı azaltması nedeniyle yenilenebilir enerjiye yönelik politikaların önemi vurgulanmaktadır.
