ENVIRONMENTAL STRUCTURAL AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN ENERGY

Tens of digital technologies that many people use in their daily lives as well as industry continue to improve and make life easier. If we were to research the transformation in the energy sector in the 1980s and prepare an article, we would go to the library, select relevant books and take notes. Of course, these researches could take days, as a lot of information written in books should be looked at. Then, maybe we would call experienced names in the sector from their offices, try to match their available times and make an appointment or try to get information on the phone. If the person we were calling was not at the office, we could not leave the phone at home in case of callback possibilities. Then, we would have interviews with a few channels where we could publish this research and, if we could succeed, have the article published. Nowadays, we can reach millions of people by instantly publishing articles on many platforms after visiting a few sites on mobile phones, compiling up-to-date information and reinforcing our ideas. Therefore, digital technological developments have accelerated mass communication and benefited from more effective management of time. Of course, these developments brought information pollution with them. Unfortunately, access to information has become easier, but there is still a lot of work to be done to only access valuable and precise information.

In the light of these technological developments, people focused on producing more new products and services and making more profits in a shorter time by selling on digital platforms such as e-commerce. But the population is increasing, scarce resources are decreasing and the environment is severely affected. Recently, dozens of similar products with different features have begun to enter our lives. It gets bored quickly and we want a new one, although it has quite similar features. This makes companies with more earning goals than they need to be happy. Few individuals, companies, and industries calculate the environmental impact of each product and make attempts to erase their carbon footprint. We love our children and want them to be happy, but we don't want to see what awaits them or their children after us, and we even become part of negative environmental impacts. Therefore, as individuals, it is necessary to be more sensitive about changing our consumption habits, consuming less and purchasing used products.

If we look at the carbon dioxide emission, according to the data of Our World with Data, while human beings emitted 1.9 billion tons of CO2 to nature in 1900, in 2000 it released 25.1 billion tons of carbon dioxide, and in 2020 this figure was approximately 38 billion tons. Fossil fuels are the main drivers of these emissions. That is why the importance of using renewable energy sources is increasing day by day. According to the data of the International Energy Agency, it is promising to see that the share of renewable energy has increased in recent years and that the share of wind and hydro energy, especially solar, will continue to increase in energy production in the 20 years after 2020, and that the share of coal and oil will decrease in return for its environmental impacts. Therefore, the energy sector must continue to transform not only digitally but strategically but also structurally. Conversions should be planned and coordinated on a sectoral basis, not on a company basis.

Industrial revolutions that started with the inventions that enabled much faster production in the early 18th century, led by England, spread rapidly around the world. Although companies like Planetory Resources and Space X are said to soon be transporting minerals from the Moon and Mars by cargo ships, and land deeds have begun to be sold by Lunar Embassy, resources are rapidly dwindling, forests are disappearing, access to food is becoming difficult, climates are changing, and the world is for human beings. resists in hospitality. We will be dealing more seriously in the near future with many problems that we are already dealing with. Access to food will not only be caused by droughts caused by the damage we cause to the atmosphere, but also the misuse of agricultural land and damage to clean water resources point to major problems. According to the National Geograpic data, it is certain that the need for potable clean water, which is equal to only 1% of the total water on the earth, 70% of which is covered with water. It should also be remembered that 13% of the world's population do not have access to electricity and 40% have serious problems in accessing clean fuel for cooking, health care, healthy food and shelter.

According to the data of the United Nations, the world population, which was 4.8 billion in 1985, reached 7.8 billion in 2020. The population has almost doubled in 35 years and continues to grow rapidly. In the world, whose population is expected to be 9.5 billion in 2050, life in cities is expected to increase from 56% to 69%, and 65 people per km2 instead of 52 people are expected. When we look at the regional distribution of population growth, it is seen that there was an increase of 2.51% in Africa, 0.92% in Asia, 0.12% in Europe, 0.94% in Latin America, 0.65% in North America and 1.37% in Oceania between 2015-2020. . The highest rate of increase is seen in regions with low income levels, so we can say that technology has not yet become widespread. According to World Bank data, China has a population of 1.43 billion with 9.3 million km2 of land, 153 people per km2, 1.38 billion people with 2.9 million km2 of land in India 464, 16 million km2 of land with 145 million people in Russia 9 and with a population of 330 million with a land of 9.1 million km2, 36 in America. In a big picture, the distribution of the population, energy resources and energy consumption must be planned and strictly adhered to, otherwise in the future, we can actually start getting oxygen for a fee like water.

According to the data of the International Energy Agency, approximately 60% of direct use is provided for heating and movement and 40% electricity generation by using 20% renewable, 30% coal and 50% non-renewable resources in the energy sector. These are used for around 20% transportation, 30% industry and agriculture, and 50% buildings. Global turmoil also increases the need for energy storage for supply security. At this point, storage areas management and battery production issues are also very important in terms of environmental management. I find it difficult to understand the underlying reasons why the world, which has become a village by globalizing, has difficulty meeting on common ground at a time when it is necessary to act together for a peaceful and sustainable world. Actually, data show us the past with all its clarity and help us predict the future, but ignoring them can be nothing but unplanned living and carelessness. Efficient use of energy resources, management of the environmental effects of energy and ensuring supply security of energy are extremely important. It is a social responsibility of every company to plan digital and structural transformation in a strategy where the universe will be less damaged and humanity will benefit more. State institutions and agencies of the countries are leading many useful innovations in this regard, but companies also need to start and complete the necessary transformation without delay. In the near future, Blockchain technology, 5G and 6G Connectivity and Cyber Security will be one of our most important agendas. Competition is increasing day by day around the world and it is getting harder to make a difference. It is really beneficial to be able to export domestic technological products and services. A healthy measurement, comprehensive analysis and strategic planning are essential.

The digital and structural transformation strategy in the energy sector first starts with Data & Analytics, which reveals the value of data. Data are modernized and made ready for the Hybrid Cloud Technology world with Artificial Intelligence. Then a simple and accessible system is set up. Data is organized to form a business-ready analytics foundation. Scaling and analysis is done with the help of artificial intelligence in trust and transparency. Making this analysis at first is very important for managers to make the right decisions. Taking professional consultancy services that will analyze and interpret these data and integrate other dynamics in the sector into analysis studies contributes to healthy decision-making thanks to its versatile view and blending of different experiences. An energy company that has started preparations for digital transformation can also make changes to increase its current operational efficiency, along with future strategic planning, within the scope of the results it has achieved.For example, thanks to Robotic Applications, the margin of error related to the same work can be reduced and processes can be accelerated. In addition, data and analytical studies help a reporting that will identify potential risks and negativity possibilities for the future. The hybrid cloud technology world offers useful solutions to increase agility and continuity. Benefits such as application development, deployment, publishing, integrating security and managing operations from anywhere in the clouds increase efficiency significantly. Thanks to the Internet of Things, forward-thinking organizations use automation and artificial intelligence to further develop their strengths, strengthen their weaknesses, and enable their employees to focus on the issues that matter. Automation with artificial intelligence allows your entire organization to be active at all times, optimizing the delivery of products and services in order to ensure uninterrupted continuity in dynamic markets. With the automations to be installed, an uninterrupted system can be established in the production processes and these processes can be monitored instantly. Possible data loss in data exchange can be prevented and precise transmission can be provided.

If there is a connection, there should also be security. In this context, Cyber Security solutions should be reviewed and developed. Digital assets, users and data must be carefully protected. In order to establish trust in interactions, it must be ensured that the right user has the right access to the right data. Increasing threats should not be ignored and defense should be well managed. You need a unified defense system against cyber uncertainties. In case of need for development, you should review the on-premises IT Infrastructure or Hybrid Cloud applications and make the necessary upgrades. Power supplies, storage areas, servers and networks as a whole must be securely integrated. Organizations around the world are starting to implement Blockchain technology through trust, transparency, and newly discovered collaboration, so that data cannot be changed. Visionary companies are coming together to transform the way their industries do business. For example, the number of organizations that are getting rid of old cumbersome processes and paperwork for a safer, smarter and more profitable supply is increasing. Of course, after this transformation is planned, informing all stakeholders adequately and adapting to the process will increase the success.

Many companies devote considerable budgets to non-renewable energy sources such as oil, gas, coal, uranium, thorium, as well as to resources such as solar, wind, biomass, hydrogen, tidal wave, hydraulic and geothermal, and to digital transformations with new technological products and services. they launched. States are also very willing to provide incentives and guarantees for such investments. Companies, sectors and countries that do not or are late in making such transformations are unfortunately lagging behind in global competition and may negatively affect global cooperation.

To support the solution of environmental problems in the hope that I, know-how transfer created for the center in the United States, Europe and Turkey in R & D offices in IBM Partner and Siemens Energy, engaged in international technology and energy companies with solution partners such as General Electric Bosphore Tech, Inc. of energy cooperates with many companies in the industry.
