from the agricultural crops cultivated in Hatay province were calculated using
production data of crops with Turkish Statistical Institute for the 2018
seasonal years. The annual gross potential of agricultural residues was
determined by using <a> </a> <a>residue </a> to product ratio or residue
per tree or residue per area. The total amount of agricultural residues was
approximately 652.8 kt.year <sup>-1 </sup>. The total heating value of the
agricultural residues was around 13.36 PJ.year <sup>-1 </sup>. The top four
districts of Hatay according to the amount of agricultural residues are
Kırıkhan (181.6 kt), Center (158.8 kt), Reyhanlı (111.3 kt) and Kumlu (65.2
kt). The major crops included in the ratio of the total residues amount were cotton
(65.5%), maize (14%), olive (13.3%) and citrus (10.9%). </span> </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:22.7pt;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">Conclusions </span> </b> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">: T </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-us">he
potential of agricultural residues concentrated
in the Kırıkhan and Center districts. However, there are also significantly
different crop residues in other districts. Hatay have a great agricultural residues potential for conversion to energy. Such
a large potential necessarily has to be
evaluated by establishing modern facilities </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-us">. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-indent:17.85pt;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">Significance and Impact of the Study </span> </b> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:11pt;line-height:150%;font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;" xml:lang="en-gb">: In this paper, the produced maps were

The mapping can provide the rise of public awareness, policy-makers’ reference
and investor’s guide about these subjects. </span> </p> <p> </p>}, publisher={Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi}
