Determination of Energy Utilization Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emission in Apple Production: Case of Isparta

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the energy utilization and greenhouse gas emission in apple production. Within the scope of the study, energy utilization efficiency indicators and greenhouse gas emission calculations were made in apple production. Total energy input in apple production has been calculated as 35338.97 MJ/ha, totals energy output as 60038.50 MJ/ha, energy utilization efficiency as 1.70, specific energy 1.39 MJ/kg, energy productivity as 0.72 kg/MJ and net energy value as 24699.53 MJ/ha. Energy inputs in apple production consisted of direct energy with 11958.05 MJ/ha (33.84%). indirect energy with 23380.92 MJ/ha (66.16%). renewable energy with 3486.55 MJ/ha (9.87%) and non-renewable with 31852.42 MJ/ha (90.13%). In apple production greenhouse gas emission arising from inputs has been calculated as 1718.90 kgCO2eq/ha while greenhouse gas emission rate has been calculated as 0.07 kgCO2eq/kg. In respect to energy utilization efficiency, it is possible to claim that apple production was efficient for the 2021 production season.
