Energy is one of the main issues for countries to sustain their existance economically and socially in our era. It is a well known fact that the petroleum, one of the primary energy sources, is located in specific regions. In that respect, it is seen that the most important reason of the complex political circumstances in the world is to reach energy resources. Fast increase of world population and technologic developments cause ascending energy needs. Resources are limited and there is nothing human can do about it. Therefore, the countries, which want to have a place in the world, should produce their energy policies. Their goals should be to obtain not only uninterruptible, reliable, clean, and cost-effective energy, but also create variety of resources and models of energy safety that count geopolitical facts. Consequently, optimizing resources, protecting the environment and ergo planning are vital issues while processing the energy. In this presentation, various information and data about the subject are compiled and energy appearances of the world, European Union and Turkey are introduced grafically and statistically. Moreover, the efforts of Turkey’s being energy corridor between Asia-Europe are mentioned in the report. Building reliable and sustainable relations between countries, exterminating the energy source problem and using it as a tool for peace are main goals of Turkey with this project. In order to make this principle in reality, Turkey needs to the sincere support of the European countries and also developing countries. Turkey would like to serve as a bridge to provide global energy security.
