Abstract

The energy needed in the world is met from fossil sources or renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources consist of sources that can feed themselves. Humans produce waste material during both production and consumption.
Most of the wastes are organic-based wastes with energy potential. It is possible to produce bioenergy from organic-based waste. In addition to being one of the renewable energy sources, biogas energy provides waste recycling. It is a lower cost energy and fertilizer source compatible with nature. As a result of biogas production, the factors that threaten the environment and human health disappear. In addition, organic wastes do not disappear after the process and turn into valuable organic fertilizer. This study was carried out in Örtülüce village of Biga district, where livestock enterprises are the most in Çanakkale. In the research, the awareness of livestock farmers about biogas energy was examined. According to the findings obtained from the study, 25.3% of the farmers believe that only electricity is produced from biogas, 17.8% know that biogas energy production facilities pollute the environment. On the other hand, 97.3% of the farmers have heard of the concept of biogas before. Also, 49.31% of farmers are willing to participate in biogas investments. Age, level of education, and internet use are found to be influential in farmers' decisions.

Hayvancılık İşletmelerinin Biyogaz Enerjisi Farkındalığı: Çanakkale İli Örneği

Abstract

Enerji iki farklı kaynaktan sağlanır: fosil enerji kaynakları ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları kendi kendilerini besleyebilen kaynaklardan oluşmaktadır. İnsanlar hem üretim hem de tüketim sırasında atık madde üretirler. Atıkların çoğu, enerji potansiyeli olan organik bazlı atıklardır. Organik bazlı atıklardan biyoenerji üretmek mümkündür. Biyogaz enerjisi yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından biri olmasının yanı sıra atıkların geri dönüşümünü de sağlamaktadır. Doğayla uyumlu daha az maliyetli bir enerji ve gübre kaynağıdır. Biyogaz üretimi sonucunda doğayı ve insan sağlığını tehdit eden faktörler ortadan kalkmaktadır. Ayrıca organik atıklar işlemden sonra kaybolmaz ve değerli bir organik gübreye dönüşür. Bu çalışma Çanakkale ili Biga ilçesine bağlı en fazla hayvancılığa sahip olan Örtülüce köyünde yapılmıştır. Araştırmada hayvancılık yapan çiftçilerin biyogaz enerjisi konusundaki farkındalıkları incelenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre, çiftçilerin %25,3'ü biyogazdan sadece elektrik üretildiğini, %17.8'i biyogaz enerji üretim tesislerinin çevreyi kirlettiğini bilirken, çiftçilerin %97.3'ü biyogaz kavramını daha önce duymuştur. Çiftçilerin %49.31’i biyogaz yatırımlarına katılma konusunda isteklidir. Çiftçilerin bu kararlarında yaşı, eğitim ve bilgiye ulaşmada internet kullanımı etkilidir.
