In this
study, animal biomass energy potential of Turkey was presented in detail based on
the countrywide livestock. Animal
biomass resources were examined under three major groups: bovine, small
ruminant, and poultry. Bovine animals were described in terms of three
different cattle species, buffalo and other species (horse, donkey, camel, mule
and pig). Sheep and goat were considered as two subspecies of small ruminant.
Poultry consisted of two different chicken species, turkey, goose and duck. The
status of animal biomass in Turkey and its exploitation by use of anaerobic
digestion and consequent combustion of methane produced for energy production
were presented. A detailed analysis was made to determine which animal species
has high energy potential of biomass. The potential of energy, waste and the
production depending on every single subspecies were indicated in the analyses.
The waste coefficients for species were obtained from the biomass energy
potential atlas of Turkey and the animal production data reported by the Turkish
Statistical Institute. Additionally, energy potential changes in recent years
for every single species were calculated. According to the results, bovine
animals possess 67.1% of total energy potential, and among bovine animals,
cattle has the highest energy potential with 61%. Results
indicated that 1.36 million tons of oil equivalent would be exploited by the
animal biomass potential of Turkey according to the 2016 data.
