dc.description.abstractEnergy and exergy utilization efficiencies in the Turkish transportation sector over the period from 2000 to 2020 are evaluated in this study. A comparison of the overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the Turkish transportation sector with the other countries is also presented. Energy and exergy analyses are performed for four transport modes, namely roadway, railway, airway and seaway, while they are based on the actual data for 2000 and projected data for 2020. Roadway appears to be the most efficient mode when compared with railway, air and seaway. It is projected that about 15% of total energy resources will be used in this sector during 2020. The energy utilization efficiencies for the Turkish transportation sector range from 23.71% in 2000 to 28.75% in 2020, while the exergy utilization efficiencies vary from 23.65% to 28.85% in the same years, respectively. Exergetic improvement potential for this sector is estimated to be 700 PJ in 2020, with an average increase rate of 4.5% annually between 2000 and 2020. Road transport and oil-fuelled combustion engines offer the principal scope for exergetic improvement in the coming decades. It may be concluded that the methodology used in this study is practical and useful for analyzing sectoral energy and exergy utilization to determine how efficiently energy and exergy are used in the sector studied. It is also expected that this study will be helpful in developing highly applicable and productive planning for energy policies. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.en_US
