Abstract
The global energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources is a complicated matter with national variations in social and economic factors. This thesis examines the similarities and differences between Turkey's and Germany's energy transition policies in the transportation sector. Both nations rely on foreign fossil fuels and have comparable populations, but their levels of social and economic development are different. Germany is able to set high goals for renewable energy and make significant investments in clean energy technologies because of its strong environmental values and robust economy. On the other hand, Turkey faces particular difficulties due to its unstable economy and preference for energy security over rapid adoption of renewable energy. Despite Turkey’s social and financial obstacles they have made some progress to achieve successful energy transitions in the transport sector by increasing the renewable energy usage and infrastructure projects which are targeted at lowering carbon emissions. In order to achieve successful energy transitions in the transportation sector, this comparative study emphasizes how crucial it is to customize energy policies to national contexts, taking social dynamics and economic capacities into account.
