Abstract:

Energy has been in a state of change and transformation since it was discovered. With the transformation experienced, it is seen that the tendency towards renewable energy has increased, and hydrogen energy has come to the fore. Hydrogen energy is considered as a potential alternative in line with Turkey's ideal of being a central country in energy, which is the largest of its current energy targets. In the light of this thought, the article seeks the answer to the question of whether Turkey can be a central country in hydrogen-based energy. In order to answer the research question, the current situation of Turkey has been evaluated and the current and potential uses of hydrogen energy in the world and in Turkey have been examined. Considering the existing advantages of Turkey, cell battery/ battery technologies have been identified as the most prominent area among the potential areas of use. Within the scope of the article, hydrogen policies in the USA, Russia and China were examined and a comparative analysis was tried to be presented. According to the findings obtained, it has been seen that hydrogen energy promises high potential in order for Turkey to achieve its energy independence goals
