Determination of CO2 emission based on fuel consumption in wheat and corn production in TR 62 Region and projection estimate

This study aims to determine the carbon dioxide emission based on fuel consumption in wheat and corn production of Adana and Mersin provinces covering TR62 Region between 2014-2023 and to estimate the projection for future years. The average CO2 emission, specific fuel consumption and specific CO2 emission values of TR62 Region based on fuel consumption in wheat production between 2014-2023 are 87.19 ktCO2, 30.80 gfuel kgproduct-1 and 105. 29 gCO2 kgproduct-1, while in corn production, the average CO2 emission, specific fuel consumption and specific CO2 emission values for the same years were determined as 37.13 ktCO2, 100.97 gfuel kgcrop-1 and 345.19 gCO2 kgproduct-1, respectively. According to the future projections calculated for the years 2024-2033 in wheat and corn production in TR62 Region, total CO2 emissions are expected to decrease, while specific fuel consumption and specific CO2 emission values are expected to increase.
