Energy Technologies Application and Research Center
Developing technology, increasing industrialization and rapidly growing population have caused energy demand to reach the highest levels. Awareness of the energy crisis has directed researchers to seek new solutions and to work on the use of new technologies.
The risk of depletion and negative interaction with the environment of fossil fuels, which are conventional energy sources that currently meet a large portion of energy demand, impose restrictions on the use of this energy source. On the other hand, due to the climate crisis and greenhouse effect, the increase in the tendency towards environmentally friendly renewable energy sources that do not risk depletion has accelerated.
In order to reduce external and single energy source dependency in Türkiye and the world, energy needs are tried to be carried out based on the principle of diversity in energy. In order to find a solution to this situation, many R&D/P&D projects should be carried out regarding both conventional energy and alternative energy sources.
In this context, the Istanbul Gedik University Energy Technologies Application and Research Center established at our university aims to conduct pioneering advanced scientific research in fields related to energy science and technologies, to teach and produce new scientific technologies in cooperation with industry and civil society organizations as a result of these researches, and to become a leading research, application and teaching center in the field of energy science and technologies.
