Assessment of Biogas Potential from Animal Waste in Türkiye’s TRB2 Development Region

Abstract

Türkiye currently relies on imported fossil fuels for approximately 70% of its energy consumption, highlighting the urgent need to transition to domestic and renewable energy sources. Biogas emerges as a compelling, environmentally friendly energy solution in this context. Biogas' production facilitates effective management of agricultural practices, animal husbandry, and domestic waste and contributes to the generation of clean energy. Furthermore, the by-product from the anaerobic digestion process serves as a valuable organic fertilizer, enhancing agricultural productivity. The TRB2 Development Region, which encompasses the provinces of Van, Muş, Bitlis, and Hakkari, is one of Türkiye's least developed areas in socio-economic terms and holds significant potential for animal husbandry. Given the region's high output of animal manure, its effective utilization is critical, especially within its predominantly rural demographic. This study explores the potential for biogas production from animal manure in the TRB2 Development Region. Research findings indicate that the region possesses substantial capacity for biogas generation, and the establishment of village-type biogas facilities could satisfactorily fulfill the daily energy requirements of rural communities. Additionally, the organic fertilizer produced through biogas processes is anticipated to enhance agricultural yields further. The study also investigates the broader impacts of biogas production on local agriculture and the economy, underscoring the important role of renewable energy sources in fostering regional development.
