Determination of Agricultural-Based Biomass Energy Potential as a Sustainable Clean Energy Source: The Case of Muş Province (2020-2024)

Abstract

This study aims to calculate the biomass energy potential that can be theoretically obtained from agricultural products for the Muş province between 2020-2024. In this context, calculations were made by taking into account the legumes, industrial plants, cereals, forage crops, oilseeds, and tubers grown in the region. The analyses are based on five-year data (2020–2024) obtained from the Plant Production Statistics Database of the Turkish Statistical Institute. Accordingly, the average biomass energy potentials were calculated in megawatts (MW). According to the results, the product groups with the highest biomass energy potential were grains and forage crops. When evaluated on a district basis, the Central district has the highest share (33,02%) and the Hasköy district has the lowest share (2,44%) in terms of 5-year average biomass energy potential. Considering all available biomass sources in Muş province, the estimated annual energy potential was determined to be 27.145 MW in 2020, 29.288 MW in 2021, 33.863 MW in 2022, 37.361 MW in 2023, and 40.608 MW in 2024. These findings show that Muş province has significant potential on both national and global scales in terms of sustainable and environmentally friendly biomass energy that can be produced from agricultural crops.
