Abstract:
As a result of industrialization that has been going on for many years
and accompanying energy consumption, the energy requirement needed is
increasing every year. Since the use of fossil fuels is both a negative
impact on the environment and a resource that can be consumed, the need
for alternative energy sources is increasing. These alternative energy
sources are especially; Solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy and
nuclear energy (popular in recent years). Sustainable environmental
issues are also pushing countries to use alternative energy. Especially
in the last years, the applications of alternative energy in our country
are very promising.. In this study, a review study about the alternative
energy sources used today, the effects on the environment and
applications has been done.
