Abstract

One of the reasons for the formation of emissions in the world and Turkey is the livestock sector. Methane and nitrogen oxide are the two major greenhouse released into the atmosphere due to fertilizer management. If there is no good fertilizer management planning, animal fertilizer formed in animal husbandry enterprises poses a big problem for the environment and human health. Collection of fertilizer from shelters, method of collection, where to store fertilizer, and how to evaluate are among the most important problems. In this study, greenhouse gas emissions from animal husbandry in Niğde, Turkey were examined between 2016-2020. Different animal species were used in the study and the Tier-1 method defined by the IPCC was used to calculate greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the potential for Global Warming that may occur from greenhouse gas emissions has been determined. As a result of calculations, N₂O (Nitrous oxide) emission was determined to be 1.1x10³ tons/year and CH₄ (methane) emission to be 134x10³ tons/year. The global warming potential created by these two emissions is 3152x10³ tons of CO₂.

Niğde, Türkiye’de Atmosfere Salınan Nitröz Oksit, Metan, Karbondioksitin Teorik Hesaplamaları

Abstract

Dünyada ve Türkiye'de emisyon oluşumunun nedenlerinden birisi de hayvancılık sektörüdür. Metan ve azot oksit, gübre yönetimi nedeniyle atmosfere salınan başlıca iki sera gazıdır. İyi bir gübre yönetim planlaması yoksa hayvancılık işletmelerinde oluşan hayvan gübresi çevre ve insan sağlığı için büyük bir sorun oluşturmaktadır. Gübrenin barınaklardan toplanması, toplanma yöntemi, gübrenin nerede depolanacağı ve nasıl değerlendirileceği en önemli sorunlar arasındadır. Bu çalışmada, 2016-2020 yılları arasında Niğde ili hayvancılıktan kaynaklı sera gazı emisyonları incelenmiştir. Çalışmada farklı hayvan türleri kullanılmış ve sera gazı emisyonlarının hesaplanmasında IPCC tarafından tanımlanan Tier-1 metodundan yararlanılmıştır. Ayrıca sera gazı emisyonlarından oluşabilecek küresel ısınma potansiyeli belirlenmiştir. Hesaplamalar sonucunda N₂O emisyon 1.1x10³ ton/yıl, CH₄ emisyonu 134x10³ ton/yıl olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu iki emisyonun oluşturduğu küresel ısınma potansiyeli CO₂ ise 3152x10³ tondur.
