Özet:

Energy production from agricultural biomass waste is one of the main focus of renewable energy. At the end of agricultural production, a large amount of vegetable waste is produced. Sakarya Province has a wide range of crop products due to its geographical location. In this study, the amount of agricultural waste used in Sakarya province due to plant production and the energy potential of these wastes are calculated theoretically in terms of biomass. Since the production of the products with high waste potential in the province is intense, determining the amount of waste originating from plant production is important. Biomass is an important asset as an agricultural country. In the determination of biomass and energy potential for Sakarya province, production materials with usable waste potential were selected. In the calculations, the crop production statistics of TUIK, 2017 and the coefficients determined by different institutions and researchers were used. The amount of theoretical dry biomass of the crops which are densely cultivated to be consumed as food in Sakarya is 974990.8 tons/year for field crops and the total calorific value capacity is 618419362 GJ/year. Dry biomass potential of pruning waste for fruit trees is calculated as 28304823.6 tons/ year and total calorific value capacity is 566096472 GJ/year. This study emphasizes the non-negligible amount and energy potential of vegetative biomass, which is an important source of climate change mitigation and energy sustainability.
