Abstract:

In recent years, growth, development, and sustainability-oriented lifestyles have created a separate problem, especially for developing countries. In this study, GDP per capita, energy consumption per capita (renewable, fossil, total), and urban population for D-8 countries (Indonesia, Bangladesh, Iran, Egypt, Malaysia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Türkiye), all of which are developing countries, between 1990 and 2020. The carbon dioxide emission rates of the countries were estimated using the artificial neural networks (ANN) method by using the data of increase and carbon dioxide emission. In the ANN model established in the study, 70% of the database data was randomly divided into training, 15% validation and 15% test data. This artificial neural network is trained with the Levenberg-Marquardt method. Regression R values, one of the performance indicators of the model, were determined as 0,99 for training data, 0,97 for validation data and 0,99 for test data. The regression R-value for all data used in the model was determined as 0,99.
