摘要

The Renewable Energy Sector is dynamic and rapidly growing in Turkiye. However, this experience is unique to emerging renewable energy technologies, and concentrated solar thermal (CST) technologies, which have cross-cutting and solid grounds in mature technologies, have been moving slowly since 1980s. CST promises global solutions to Turkiye’s inherent energy problems through industrial policies brought by new knowledge generation patterns. To design such policies, we examined the current situation in CST in Turkiye through stakeholder analysis by interviews with key stakeholders and research network analysis by bibliometric tools as compared to Spain and Germany. According to the results, there is a robust research infrastructure and qualified cutting-edge research. The university-industry collaboration needs to be improved by sustainable industrial policies. The country network shows that Turkiye’s counterparts in EU Project Networks, Spain and Germany, are critical research nodes for Turkish-EU collaboration.
