It is both eco-friendly and cheaper when compared to other energy resources, therefore biogas energy is among the top alternative energy resources to be chosen. Biogas is highly important in rural areas, because it is being used as an energy resource as well as a fertilizer resource. In this research, the production potential of biogas from animal waste in Yozgat province and its districts has been defined. Biogas from animal waste has become one of the important renewable energy resources. In addition, the production potential of biogas from animal waste in Central Anatolia Region and Turkey in general has also been determined and comparisons have been made. When 2012 data are taken into account, the province of Yozgat has a potential of 45.070 million m3 biogas potential from animal waste. With 6.546 million m3 biogas, the Central district is placed first, while with 6.521 million m3, Akdagmadeni district is in second, and with 5.166 million m3, Sorgun district is in third place. Yozgat’s animal waste biogas energy potential makes up 7.024% of Central Anatolia Region, and 1.266% of Turkey. </p>}, number={4}
