Energy Geography Within The Scope Of The Lignite in Türkiye
Abstract :
Energy, which is one of the most important elements of industrialization, is largely produced by thermal reactors that run with coal, oil, and natural gas. Unfortunately, there is a limited pool for each of these resources. In comparison with the other energy resources listed above, only lignite deposits are richer than the others. The vast majority of the existing lignite mines has high percentage of moisture and ash but low calorie value. Despite of these disadvantages, lignite beds are scattered through the four regions of Türkiye. When we consider the daily increase in the consumption of the electricity and amount of foreign exchange that is paid for gas, we need to find new ways to increase the usage of the lignite thermal reactors as a solution.
