Bioenergy in Turkey

Turkey intends to increase production of bioenergy.[1] Biomass is part of renewable energy in Turkey as the biomass economical potential of Turkey is 8.6 mtoe/year.[2] Arable crops in Central Anatolia and the Mediterranean have the most potential for electricity,[3] and in 2021 biomass generated 7.6 TWh, which was 2.3% of the nation's electricity, from over 2GW capacity.[4] Tupraş intends to make sustainable aviation fuel.[5]

Biogas

There is significant biogas generation potential in Turkey.[6] 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).[7] However, only 85 biogas facilities with 36 plants are currently in operation in Turkey.[6]

Landfill power is in operation and under construction, including the European side of Istanbul.[8]

Biofuel

Biojet production is hoped to be certified in 2022.[4] A biodiesel plant is planned.[9]

Bioethanol

Sugar beets are the main source of bioethanol production in Turkey, followed by corn and wheat.[10]
