Abstract

Wood Pellet, one of the biomass fuels in renewable energy sources, stands out among all renewable energy sources with it’s ease of production technology, environmental friendliness and similar features. Wood pellets, which are fuel pellets of 6-10 mm diameter, which are obtained from the drying of wood waste, milling it into sawdust and then compressing it with high pressure, have become economically comparable with fossil fuels today. Wood pellet trade worldwide increased by more than 21% in 2018 compared to the previous year, reaching a trade volume of 22.3 million tons. The biggest pellet exporter countries in the world since 2012 are USA, Canada, Vietnam, Latvia and Russia respectively. These countries accounted for approximately 69% of the world export volume in 2018. Except for five countries, they continue to work on alternative energy sources and especially the production, technology, use and properties of wood pellets in China. In Turkey, there are studies on the production of wood pellets and the economy. However, these studies need to be updated both in terms of production and economics. In the study, analyzed the current data with the potential that Turkey has developed proposals for the use of this potential.

Türkiye’nin Biyokütle Enerji Potansiyeli Üzerine Bir Araştırma: Odun Peleti Örneği

Abstract

Odun Peleti, üretim teknolojisi kolaylığı, çevre dostu olması ve benzeri özellikleri ile tüm yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları içinde öne çıkmaktadır. Odun artıklarının kurutulup, öğütülerek talaş haline getirildikten sonra yüksek basınçla sıkıştırılmasından elde edilen 6-10 mm çapındaki yakıt topakları olan odun peletin ekonomik açıdan günümüzde fosil yakıtlar ile karşılaştırılabilir konuma gelmiştir. Dünya genelinde odun peleti ticareti, bir önceki yıla kıyasla 2018’de % 21'den fazla artış göstermiş olup 22.3 milyon tonluk ticaret hacmine ulaşmıştır. Dünya’da 2012 yılından itibaren en büyük pelet ihracatçısı ülkeler sırasıyla ABD, Kanada, Vietnam, Letonya ve Rusya’dır. Bu ülkeler 2018 yılında dünya ihracat hacminin yaklaşık% 69’unu oluşturmuşlardır. Beş ülke haricinde Çin’de alternatif enerji kaynakları ve özellikle odun peletinin üretimi, teknolojisi, kullanımı ve özellikleri üzerine çalışmalarını devam ettirmektedirler. Türkiye’de ise odun peletinin üretimi ve ekonomisi üzerine çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu çalışmalar gerek üretim gerekse ekonomik açıdan güncellenmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışmada, Türkiye’nin sahip olduğu potansiyel güncel veriler ile analiz edilerek bu potansiyelin kullanımına yönelik öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
