ANKARA (AA) - Turkish Academy of Sciences aims to find a solution to Turkey's energy dilemma by taking a scientific approach to the subject, the association's head told Anadolu Agency.

The country is mostly dependent on imports for its energy needs including oil, gas and coal to various degrees.

The academy created an energy-working group to address the country's energy problem, which makes up the largest portion of the country's import bill. The group also plans to contribute to the creation of energy solutions for the country's increased demand.

"The aim of the group is to make science-based determination, evaluation and suggestions and share the information with relevant parties to contribute to energy generation and supply in Turkey," Ahmet Cevat Acar told Anadolu Agency.

As part of the group, a platform will be created to bring together scientists, specialists and directors to communicate and collaborate, he said.

Additionally, the group will hold scientific meetings and publish findings in collaboration with relevant experts from a variety of sectors from the energy and scientific community, Acar said.

"Turkey needs to take a technical and innovative approach to increase the energy potential and performance of the country," he said.

"Participants of the group will adapt the research-innovation-commercialization triangle to Turkey to develop a solution to Turkey's energy problem," said the coordinator of the energy group, Ibrahim Dincer.

Dincer added that clean coal technology, alternative fuels, energy storage, renewable energy sources and nuclear energy are the priority topics.
