Biofuel in Turkey

Biogas

There is significant biogas generation potential in Turkey.[1] More than eighty five million tons of animal waste is produced annually in Turkey. This could be used to produce over 1.8 million tons of oil equivalent (toe). With plant waste included the potential raises to over 5.3 million tons of oil equivalent (toe).[2] However, only 85 biogas facilities with 36 plants are currently in operation in Turkey.[1]

80 MW of landfill power is in operation while 78 MW is under construction[3] including the European side of Istanbul.[4]

Biodiesel

A biodiesel plant is planned.[5]

Bioethanol

Sugar beets are the main source of bioethanol production in Turkey, followed by corn and wheat.[6]
