Abstract
This study analyses sectoral energy and exergy utilization in Turkey between 1999 and 2000. Total energy and exergy utilization efficiencies are calculated to be 43.24 and 24.04% in 1999, and 44.91 and 24.78% in 2000, respectively. In order to calculate these efficiency values, Turkey is subgrouped into four main sectors, namely utility, industrial, transportation and commercial-residential. The energy efficiency values are found to be 23.88, 30.10, 68.97 and 57.76% in 1999, and 23.71, 30.11, 68.81 and 57.05% in 2000 for transportation, utility, industrial and commercial-residential sectors, respectively. Besides this, the exergy efficiency values are obtained to be 23.80, 30.28, 35.97 and 8.12% in 1999, and 23.65, 30.47, 35.51 and 8.02% in 2000 for the same order of sectors. The present study has clearly shown the necessity of the planned studies towards increasing exergy efficiencies in the sectors studied. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
