Abstract
Energy resources have gained importance due to the increasing need for energy every day. The lack of resources of developing countries, which use especially fossil fuels more, increases foreign dependency. Thus, it is important to use renewable resources, especially in the iron and steel industry, which is one of the sectors with intensive energy use. This study was designed to investigate the low use of renewable energy sources in the sector and implemented in Karabük, which is one of the pioneering cities in Turkey's iron and steel industry. In practice, AHP method, which is one of the Multiple Criteria Decision-Making methods, is combined with fuzzy logic and Fuzzy AHP (BAHP) method is applied. Four main criteria have been determined, namely "Technical", "Economical", "Social" and "Environmental" reasons that cause low use of renewable energy resources in the steel industry. With this study, which is a pioneer in revealing low use reasons of renewable energy sources in the iron and steel industry, effective factors were identified and the order of importance was found as economic, technical, environmental and social reasons.
