Özet:

The animal husbandry sector is becoming a rapidly developing sector in Turkey and more waste is emerging in animal husbandry enterprises. It is necessary to dispose of these wastes that have a negative environmental impact. In search of new energy sources, it is becoming increasingly important to dispose of organic waste and use it in biogas production as an alternative energy source. Expanding the production of biogas will be very effective both in reducing external dependence on energy and in reducing the carbon emissions that cause global warming. There are various studies in the literature on biogas potential calculations in Tokat province. In this study, animal species were given in detail, and district-based calculations were made and total biogas production potential was determined for Tokat, Turkey by taking into account different animal types according to 2020 Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) data. Different energy equivalent transformations that can be obtained depending on the biogas potential have been studied. The amount of benefits in TL that can be obtained for conversions has been determined. According to the total number of animals, the total amount of waste in the province was determined to be 249596 tons per year. The annual amount of biogas that can be obtained from waste is 49.92 x 106 m3 . It has been determined that this amount can be converted into 1133 x103 GJ thermal energy, 234.62 GWh electrical energy, and 32.95 x 106 liters. It has been calculated that 85636252 TL will be used for the conversion of biogas to electrical energy and 215822500 TL will be used for the conversion of diesel fuel.
