This study was carried out to determine the biomass potential, energy value, bio-composting material and composting possibilities produced from plant and animal residues in Samsun. Samsun is a province of Türkiye in the Black Sea region. Samsun province has 17 districts. Residue amounts of agricultural products grown in Samsun were calculated using the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) 2021 and year product production data, Türkiye Biomass Energy Potential Atlas (BEPA) 2021 biomass data. The total amount of agricultural waste is approximately 877.812 tons wheat 254.154 tons, paddy 132,891 tons, maize 53.861 tons and oat 47.797 tons in cereals in fruits, hazelnut is 66.363 tons and peach is 125.065 tons. Total heating value was found as 5.439.003 GJ. Hazelnut was the highest contributor to this value with 27% as fruit for cereals, it was maize with 17.14%. The energy equivalents of the biomass amounts are respectively; 37.34% hazelnut, 24% paddy, 10% wheat, 17.4% maize and 11.26% other plants were found.
