Ulaştırma Sektöründe CO2 Emisyonu ve Enerji Ar-Ge Harcamaları İlişkisi

Harmful gases (such as; carbondioxide, methane and nitrousoxide) which are released as a result of energy activities conducted by primary energy sources lead to emergence of unintended consequences such as global warming and ozone layer depletion and in this sense disruption of the green growth process in terms of countries. Petrol, diesel and gas are used as fuels in the transport sector increases the release of toxic gases. However, in recent years, depending on the development of technological advances and R&D activities, renewable energy sources in the sense of partial provide reduction of the emission of toxic gases such as CO2. In this study, the relationship between R&D expenditures and CO2 emissions in the transport sector, on the basis of selected countries for the period 1990-2010 were analyzed by the models of Dynamic Panel Data. According to results of analysis in the selected countries it was seen that R&D expenditures has a positive impact on CO2 emissions in line with expectations. In addition, there is a long term relationship among R&D expenditures, CO2 emissions and energy consumption.
