The Biogas Potential That Can Be Obtained From The Animal Wastes Of Tokat Province

The limitations in fossil fuels and environmental pollution problems stemming from production have brought the search and development of new eco-friendly resources on the agenda in recent years. Biogas is one of the new and renewable energy sources that has been investigated. It is an energy type that has advantages over other energy types. Biogas is produced mainly from animal wastes as well as vegetal wastes in rural areas. Producing biogas energy helps both meet the energy needs and make use of wastes. The biogas energy produced from animal wastes will provide great economic benefits to Tokat region as well as a number of positive environmental and social effects. In this study, the data relating to the number of animals taken from Tokat Food, Agriculture and Livestock Provincial Directorate, the annual amount of cattle dung that can be produced on the basis of the animal weight given by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, General Directorate of Renewable Energy, and the amount of biogas that can be produced based on the type of dung were used as a source for the calculation of the biogas potential of the province
