Biochar has been researched globally and is not recognized enough in Turkey. Biohar has many advantages, such as carbon retention, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, soil improvement, and improving crop productivity. In this study, the potential for conversion of agricultural and animal wastes of Isparta,Turkey to biomass was theoretically calculated. Data from the Turkish Statistical Institute for 2019 and 2020 were used to determine the biochar conversion potential. Calculations were made separately for each year and the results were compared. In 2019, it was determined that the total biochar conversion potential value of agricultural and animal production wastes was 42383 tons and in 2020 it was determined that this value was 43592 tons. When the average of both years is taken, approximately 42988 tons of biochar have been obtained annually. Considering the proportional change in biochar production in 2020 compared to 2019, it is seen that there is an increase of approximately 3%.
