TY - JOUR T1 - Agricultural Residues Potential of Hatay TT - Agricultural Residues Potential of Hatay AU - Karaca, Cengiz PY - 2019 DA - December Y2 - 2019 JF - Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi Tarım Bilimleri Dergisi JO - MKU. Tar. Bil. Derg. PB - Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi WT - DergiPark SN - 2667-7733 SP - 9 EP - 15 VL - 24 IS - 0 LA - en AB - Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the biomasspotential and the energy value, being produced from agricultural residues in HatayprovinceMethods and Results: The amounts of residuesfrom the agricultural crops cultivated in Hatay province were calculated usingproduction data of crops with Turkish Statistical Institute for the 2018seasonal years. The annual gross potential of agricultural residues wasdetermined by using residue to product ratio or residueper tree or residue per area. The total amount of agricultural residues wasapproximately 652.8 kt.year-1. The total heating value of theagricultural residues was around 13.36 PJ.year-1. The top fourdistricts of Hatay according to the amount of agricultural residues areKırıkhan (181.6 kt), Center (158.8 kt), Reyhanlı (111.3 kt) and Kumlu (65.2kt). 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%).Conclusions: Thepotential of agricultural residues concentratedin the Kırıkhan and Center districts. However, there are also significantlydifferent crop residues in other districts. Hatay have a great agricultural residues potential for conversion to energy. Sucha large potential necessarily has to beevaluated by establishing modern facilities.Significance and Impact of the Study: In this paper, the produced maps wereprovided to see more clearly in the differences of data among the districts.The mapping can provide the rise of public awareness, policy-makers’ referenceand investor's guide about these subjects.
