Current Energy Situation and Biomass Energy Potential of Palestine

Abstract

This study evaluated the biogas production potential of biological resources such as animal waste, agricultural waste, and municipal solid waste within the borders of the State of Palestine, encompassing Gaza and the West Bank, and calculated the amount of electrical energy that could be generated from this potential. The results indicate that the total amount of electricity that could be generated from these sources is 1500 GWh, corresponding to approximately 22% of Palestine's current electricity consumption. The study results demonstrate that biogas is a strategic option for increasing energy supply security and reducing dependence on energy imports. Therefore, the dissemination of biogas technologies and the development of integrated waste management policies are crucial for Palestine's sustainable development goals.

Filistin’in Mevcut Enerji Durumu ve Biyokütle Enerjisi Potansiyeli

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Gazze ve Batı Şeria’yı kapsayan Filistin Devleti sınırları içerisinde yer alan hayvansal atıklar, tarımsal atıklar ve kentsel katı atıklar gibi biyolojik kaynakların biyogaz üretim potansiyelleri değerlendirilmiş ve bu potansiyelden elde edilebilecek elektrik enerjisi miktarları hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, bu kaynaklardan üretilebilecek toplam elektrik miktarı 1500 GWh olup, bu değer Filistin’in mevcut elektrik tüketiminin yaklaşık %22’sine karşılık gelmektedir. Çalışma sonuçları, biyogazın enerji arz güvenliğini artırmada ve enerji ithalatına bağımlılığı azaltmada stratejik bir seçenek olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, biyogaz teknolojilerinin yaygınlaştırılması ve entegre atık yönetimi politikalarının geliştirilmesi, Filistin’in sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri açısından büyük önem arz etmektedir.
