Determining the Biogas Potential from Animal Manure in Çanakkale and Creating an Electricity Generation Capacity Map

In this study, the biogas production potential from animal manure in Canakkale was determined and the electrical energy production capacity of the province was determined. According to the 2021 cattle, small ruminant, and poultry numbers received from the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry, the cattle, small ruminant, and poultry manure amounts of all districts were calculated. Then, the amount of biogas that could be produced was calculated based on this data digital maps of the province were created by calculating the equivalent electrical energy production values of all districts with the biogas energy potentials that can be obtained. It has been calculated that a total of 119,715,927.80 m³ of biogas can be obtained annually throughout the province. The total annual equivalent electrical energy of this potential is 562,664.86 MWh. In line with the data obtained, it has been determined that Canakkale has a 70 MW biogas power plant potential.
