Continuous demand for global power generation has increased the attention on renewable energy sources. Biogas is one of the viable options for conversion of organic waste materials into green power and valuable products. In this study, the impact of biogas production from agricultural residues (wheat straw, barley straw, corn stover, cotton residue, olive residue, banana peel, sugarcane bagasse, tomato residue) and municipal solid waste (MSW) on reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Mediterranean Region of Turkey (Antalya, Burdur, Isparta, Mersin, Adana, Hatay, Osmaniye and Kahramanmaraş) has estimated. The results revealed that the Region has 1942.6 million m³/year biogas production potential corresponding to 11.11 TWh energy generating capacity. Biogas generation in the Region has annual 27 million tons of CO₂ emission reduction potential to contribute 7.4 % reduction in total GHG emissions in Turkey. Bio-waste is a favorable renewable substitute to energy production from fossil fuels.

Küresel enerji üretimi için sürekli olan talep, yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına olan ilgiyi arttırmıştır. Biyogaz, organik atık malzemelerin yeşil enerji ve değerli ürünlere dönüştürülmesi için uygun seçeneklerden biridir. Bu çalışmada, biyogaz üretiminin tarımsal artıklar (buğday samanı, arpa samanı, mısır sobası, pamuk artıkları, zeytin artıkları, muz kabuğu, şeker kamışı küspeleri, domates artıkları) ve belediye katı atıklarından (MSW) sera gazı emisyonu azaltımına etkisi Türkiye'nin Akdeniz Bölgesi (Antalya, Burdur, Isparta, Mersin, Adana, Hatay, Osmaniye ve Kahramanmaraş) tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar Bölge'nin 11.11 TWh enerji üretme kapasitesine karşılık gelen 1942.6 milyon m³/yıl biyogaz üretim potansiyeline sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bölge'deki biyogaz üretimi, Türkiye'deki toplam sera gazı emisyonunu % 7,4 oranında azalmaya katkıda bulunacak yıllık 27 milyon ton CO₂ emisyonu azaltım potansiyeline sahiptir. Biyo-atık, fosil yakıtlardan elde edilen enerji üretimi için uygun bir yenilenebilir ikame kaynaktır.
