Abstract: Global warming has emerged as a result of human activities, and greenhouse gases are the most effective cause of global warming. The accumulations of greenhouse gases have rapidly increased in the atmosphere as a result of the increase in use of fossil fuels, wrong use of land, and industrialization. The aim of the study is to examine the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, electricity consumption, economic growth, and trade openness on manufacturing industry in Turkey by using time series data between the years 1962 and 2013. The study employs the bound test for ARDL approach, ECM, Granger causality test and Cusum and Cusumsq test. CO2 emissions are high due to two reasons in Turkey. First, Turkey’s energy intensity is high. Second, electricity production depends on non-renewable sources. Turkey should decrease energy intensity while increasing the share of renewable energy sources for energy production to be able to decrease energy CO2 emissions in the manufacturing industry. Keywords: CO2 emissions, electricity consumption, trade, ARDL
