Özet

Due to the complex structure of the world’s climate, making precise predictions about how climate changes will affect humanity is challenging.Since the latter half of the 20th century, scientific circles have noted a gradual shift in the global climate, coinciding with advancements in measurement techniques and satellite technology. Measurements have elicited that key factors contributing to climate change include the rise in average surface temperature and alterations in precipitation patterns. Efforts to mitigate climate change focus on curbing the usage of fossil fuels and transitioning to alternative energy sources with minimal or no environmental impact. In recent years, there has been a surge in research on cultivating renewable energy crops such as biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas, and biomass. Many countries are rapidly progressing in this field. The development of energy agriculture, also known as energy cultivation, encompasses the cultivation of annual and C4-type plants, including sweet sorghum, sugarcane, and maize. C4-type plants exhibit higher photosynthetic efficiency and greater drought resistance compared to other species. They utilize CO2 and water more efficiently. Additionally, these plants can be utilized to produce alcohol and other biomass fuels.
