Energy has a wide range of uses within a country, includin socially
and economically. Providing everything from warmth and light to raw
materials for industrial production, energy is an essential need
for countries. Due to the importance of energy for countries,
energy policies are extremely vital, and energy needs to be
affordable, eco-friendly, and continuous so countries can provide
for their people and continue to develop industrially. Without the

production and use and identifies energy investment strategies in

carbon emissions can be prevented using carbon capture and removal
technology and how renewable energies can be used to reduce carbon
emissions. Both approaches have their disadvantages. First of all,
both involve high costs. Secondly, both require the use of advanced
technology. As a result, many countries continue to use fossil
fuels. The book seeks to address these problems by identifying
strategies to increase countries' use of clean energy. The authors
discuss the dilemmas of zero emission and competition in the energy
industry and illustrate cross-country applications of the current
trends in the form of zero-emission business projects.

their sustainable development goals. Further, energy is one of the
critical raw materials in companies' production processes.
Therefore, ensuring a steady energy supply is essential to
increasing production; otherwise, countries will inevitably slide
into recession. In this context, countries should select their
energy policies on the basis of a comprehensive analysis. In order
to achieve this goal, many different factors must be considered at
the same time.The aim of this book is to determine the right energy
policies for the sustainable economic development of countries. In
this framework, effective strategies for different types of energy
will be presented and vital issues such as determining the right
locations for nuclear power plants, providing optimal government
incentives to increase clean energy investments, and determining
appropriate energy policies to reduce energy dependence will be
examined. Thus, country-specific optimal energy policies will be
outlined, contributing to the achievement of the UN's sustainable
development goals (SDG).
