- Abstract
Sixty five million tons of residues from field crops (wheat, barley, tobacco, cotton, rice etc.) having fundamental importance in Turkish agricultural sector and 160 million tons of animal manure from animal production are existed. Wastes, which are not used for feeding, are burned in the field or abandoned to degrade naturally. Animal manure is usually either applied to the field directly without implementing any process or accumulated in a pile outside. As a result, this situation causes to environmental and health problems. Although our country has wide range of energy sources, the reserves are limited and 60% of total energy consumption is met by imports. Even though the ratio of utilization of domestic resources is currently low, that of hydraulic, solar, and geothermal and wind energy is getting wide spread. Direct combustion of biomass for energy conversion is commonly applied. The utilization of animal and other agricultural wastes for energy conversion under anaerobic conditions using biogas systems almost does not exist. Considering above mentioned environmental, economical and social benefits, the project "The Production of Biogas From Agricultural and Animal Wastes and its Utilization in the Integrated Energy System" was prepared. The tasks in the project includes: review of biogas and energy production technologies, system simulations and decision support system (DSS) modeling, design and development of two lab-scale (one for animal waste and one for agricultural waste) and one pilot scale (250 kWe capacity) integrated biogas plant, integration of the pilot plant with energy conversion systems, experimental studies, techno-economical analysis of the biogas production, and life- cycle analysis. Within this study, the summary of each completed task of the project has been presented with the study methods and results. In addition, the studies which are/will be done at the ongoing work packages and study methods which will be followed are provided as a summary.
