Biofuel in Turkey

Biogas

There is a high biogas potential in Turkey.[1] More than eighty five million tons of animal waste produced annually could produce over 1.8 million tons of oil equivalent (toe) and 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.[1]

80 MW of landfill power is in operation while 78 MW is under construction.[3]

Biodiesel

A biodiesel plant is planned.[4]

Bioethanol

Sugar beets are the main source of bioethanol production in Turkey, followed by corn and wheat.[5]
