Abstract

In this study, sectoral energy consumption and the share of sectors in total energy consumption in Turkey between the years 2017-2021 were examined. While the amount of energy consumed in the agricultural sector in Turkey was 4227 thousand TOE in 2017, it reached 5029 thousand TOE in 2021. The increase in energy consumption in agriculture occurred irregularly in the 5-year period specified. While the increase in energy consumption in agriculture was 8.37% in 2018 compared to the previous year, it was 2.85% in 2019 and 3.03% in 2021. In Turkey, the increase in energy consumption in agriculture in the period between 2017 and 2021 was calculated as 4.98%. In the specified period, the share of the industrial sector in total energy consumption was 32.30% on average, while the share of the agricultural sector was 4.16%.
