“…Energy exploitation from animal manure was considered to be performed by anaerobic digestion which provides to produce methane. The detail of the calculations is given in our previous study [20] to produce energy from methane. The waste production coefficients and equivalent heating values (as tons of oil equivalent (toe)) used in this study are given in Table 1.…”

In this study, animal biomass energy potential of Turkey was presented in detail based on the countrywide livestock. Animal biomass resources were examined under three major groups: bovine, small ruminant, and poultry. Bovine animals were described in terms of three different cattle species, buffalo and other species (horse, donkey, camel, mule and pig). Sheep and goat were considered as two subspecies of small ruminant. Poultry consisted of two different chicken species, turkey, goose and duck. The status of animal biomass in Turkey and its exploitation by use of anaerobic digestion and consequent combustion of methane produced for energy production were presented. A detailed analysis was made to determine which animal species has high energy potential of biomass. The potential of energy, waste and the production depending on every single subspecies were indicated in the analyses. The waste coefficients for species were obtained from the biomass energy potential atlas of Turkey and the animal production data reported by the Turkish Statistical Institute. Additionally, energy potential changes in recent years for every single species were calculated. According to the results, bovine animals possess 67.1% of total energy potential, and among bovine animals, cattle has the highest energy potential with 61%. Results indicated that 1.36 million tons of oil equivalent would be exploited by the animal biomass potential of Turkey according to the 2016 data.

This study investigates the efficiency of a biogas-powered cooling system through the utilization of energy and exergy calculations. Biogas, which can be generated and stored in small-scale plants as needed, serves as a viable fuel source for absorption cooling systems. The present research focuses on the biogas consumption of a triple-effect absorption cooling system specifically designed to supply a fixed cooling load of 100 kW under varying operational conditions. This study highlights the coefficient of performance and exergetic coefficient of performance values of the system, along with the exergy destruction rates of its individual components, at the optimal temperatures of operation. Furthermore, to determine necessary biogas consumption, this study explores the establishment of dedicated farms for various animal species, ensuring an adequate number of animals for biogas production. The findings reveal a coefficient of performance of 1.78 and an exergetic coefficient of performance of 35.4% at the optimized operating temperatures. The minimum mass flow rate of biogas is determined to be 0.0034 kgs−1, facilitating the operation of the boiler with a methane content of 65%. This study concludes that a total of 290 head of cattle is required to generate the annual biogas consumption necessary for the cooling system. Additionally, the number of the cattle is enough to establish 284 biogas plants in Bursa Province in Türkiye.

Summary Biomass energy sources consist of materials such as wood obtained from forests, wastes from agriculture and forestry processes, and industrial, human, and animal wastes. Biogas energy is generated as a result of the anaerobic decomposition of biomass. The analysis of biogas energy potential from animal waste plays a significant role in developing countries, which involves Turkey. Therefore, the work executed in this article presents a case study for such regions. A comprehensive analysis for the production potential of biogas from the wastes of breed animals in TR83 region in Turkey, which includes the provinces of Amasya, Çorum, Samsun and Tokat is presented in this study. The number of animals and their total waste generation were determined. Then the biogas potential, along with the electricity production and the reduction of CO2 emissions, were calculated accordingly. In addition, the amount of biogas that can be produced in the TR83 region has been determined to be 151.8 M m3 per year from cattle, 6.3 M m3 per year from small cattle, and 12.9 M m3 per year from poultry. As a result, the optimal location for biogas plants based on supply chains were determined. Accordingly, the electricity potential that can be generated for the TR83 region has been determined as 49.25 MW. In addition, it has been found that approximately 19 times more carbon emissions will occur if electricity is obtained from natural gas, and approximately 34 times more emissions will be given off if it is obtained from imported coal. Ultimately, the resulting facility placement points were found to be Suluova, Çorum, Sungurlu, Bafra, Çarşamba, Vezirköprü, Erbaa, Tokat and Zile.
