Energy and Enviromental Planning

From the mid-1700s, with the wider use of steam and onset of industrial revolution, coal became a commercial commodity; from the mid-1800s, petroleum rose to prominence; and from the early 1900s, electricity emerged as a modern secondary energy source. In the last quarter of the twentieth century, natural gas became a globally traded energy raw material. Recently, in addition to hydrocarbon resources with historic-high production capacities, renewable resources such as biomass, wind, and solar pushed the energy supply to very high levels. Nevertheless, the fundamental social and technological changes experienced by humanity in the last two centuries caused an increase in the amount of energy demand and prioritized the access to energy resources together with the transportation of energy to the markets with affordable costs and safe routes. Therefore, energy is one of the most important topics on the world’s political agenda due to the several factors such as uncertainties caused by the fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices, the interruption of safe energy supply due to regional conflicts, the fact that more people need access to modern energy, and the enormous quantity of funding required. One other reason why energy plays such a big role in the world political agenda is that, no matter which source is used, every unit produced has an environmental impact. Greenhouse gas emissions, as the most important of such impact, increased at unusually high rates, and the global warming resulting from greenhouse effect created the climate change problem. The use of Business Analytics/Operations Research techniques in Energy and Environment issues has been frequently encountered in literature recently. We are actively researching business analytics and operations research applications in this area. Main issues that we study in energy sector can be listed as: energy policy analysis, environmental policy analysis, energy investment planning, energy technology choice.
