An Investigation for the Potential of Biogas to be Produced from Animal Waste in Corum

Abstract

One of the most important current issues is obtaining and efficiently using energy, a basic necessity of life. With the continuous development of technology and increase in the world population, energy demands keep increasing. In general, the global energy production needs are met with fossil-sourced fuels. However, due to the fact that fossil fuels will be exhausted over time, together with the damage that is inflicted on the environment, people have sought different resources. Biogas energy is a type of renewable energy source that attracts the attention of researchers. In this study, the potential of biogas that can be obtained from animal wastes within the province of Çorum and its surrounding districts was investigated. The amount of biogas that can be produced in the province and per district has been determined. The quantities of biogas that can be generated from the wastes of bovine (cattle, buffalo), ovine (goat, sheep) and poultry (chicken, goose, duck) was calculated. The calorific value of biogas that can be produced and the amount of electricity that can be generated have also been determined. The evaluations in this study have revealed that the total amount of electricity that can be produced from biogas is 80748.8 MWh per year from cattle waste, 3506.7 MWh from ovine animals waste and 16064.4 MWh from poultry waste. In total, the amount of electricity that can be produced for Çorum province has been determined to be 100319.9 MWh per year. It has been found that CO2 emissions from biogas-generated electricity will be 2608.06 tons. When compared to alternatively sourced electricity, it was found that when the same amount of electricity is obtained from natural gas, CO2 emission will be approximately 20 times higher, and when the electricity is obtained from imported coal, the CO2 emission will be 34 times that produced when using biogas.
