Energy Recovery From Animal Manure: Biogas Potential of Burdur, Turkey

Abstract

Sustainable development depends on the availability of energy resources and their impact on environment. Biogas is a carbon neutral renewable energy option and one of the leading solutions to the climate change combat. As Turkey is an energy importer country, using indigenous energy sources is vital to meet future energy demand. Agricultural activities and livestock potential have high contribution to economy in Turkey. Biogas production from organic wastes such as livestock manure in this context, gain more importance to contribute both renewable energy production and waste management strategies. Livestock farming has important economic value in Burdur. In this regard, the animal manure based biogas potential, energy value, electricity and organic fertilizer generation capacity of Burdur Province were determined in this study. The results revealed that Burdur has annually 1.45 million tons of available animal manure potential to be used for biogas production of 27.1 million m 3 /year. This potential corresponds to 135.4 GWh annual energy generation that could be converted to heat and electricity. Considerable amount of the biogas production capacity has accumulated in the Center and, Bucak, Yeşilova, Gölhisar and Karamanlı districts of Burdur. In addition, about 50776 tons/year of organic fertilizer can be produced as the residual of the biogas plants.

“…In the calculation; equations given in between Eq. 1-11 below are used [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

“…Since the interest in biogas potential obtained from animal manure has increased in recent years, biogas potential has been investigated for many provinces in Turkey as well. These provinces and studies are following as; Adana [14,15], Ankara [16], Bitlis [17], Burdur [18], Bursa [19], Elazig [20], Erzincan [21], Hatay [22], Isparta [23], Kahramanmaraş [24], Kayseri [25], Muş [26], Tekirdağ [27], Yozgat [28]. Organic matter which is consisted in animal manure are fermented and digested by microorganisms (bacteria, protozoa and archaea) under anaerobic conditions and produce CH4 in 3 stages.…”

Energy Recovery Potential of Livestock Waste with Thermal and Biological Technologies: Analysis on Cattle, Sheep, Goat and Chicken Manure

“…The basic principle of these concepts is to apply clean technologies to avoid waste generation, if possible or waste reduction and reuse and recycle in cases where waste generation is inevitable. Especially in industries with high amount of organic waste the energy recovery from waste becomes vital instead of disposal of the waste (Akyurek, 2019a;Hasan et al, 2021;Hadin et al, 2017).…”

Erzincan ili hayvansal atık kaynaklı biyogaz potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesine yönelik biyogaz tesisi senaryoları

“…Türkiye'nin toplam hayvan biyogaz potansiyeli %68 sığır, %5 küçükbaş hayvan ve %27 kümes hayvanlarından gelmektedir (Avcioglu ve Turker, 2012). Türkiye'nin hayvansal atıklardan bölge, yöre ve işletme bazında elde edilebilecek biyogaz miktarı ve enerji potansiyelini belirleyen birçok çalışma yapılmıştır (Eryılmaz vd., 2015;Ilgar, 2016;Özer, 2017;Akyürek, 2019;Yağlı ve Koç, 2019 (Höhn vd., 2014).…”
