Biogas Potential from Animal Waste: A Case Study for Bitlis Province

In this study, amount of energy and amount of fuel savings that can be formed by considering the biogas conversion potential from the amount of waste of animal counts of the city of Bitlis and its counties has been determined. The number of bovine, ovine and poultry (chickens) animals belonging to the year 2017 are 82406, 601555 and 78424 for Bitlis provincial. After calculating the amount of wastes generated from these animals, the amount of waste that can be used with the rates specified in the Agro-Waste project was 532425,166 (ton / year), 64125,763 (ton / year) and 2251,553 (ton / year). Biogas response values were calculated as 17570030,48 m3 / year, 3719294,25 m3 / year and 175621,13 m3 / year respectively. As a result, the Güroymak district where the number of bovine animal is high and the number of total animal is low has the highest biogas potential with the approximate 5.3 million m3/year. In addition to this, the total biogas potential belonging to the Bitlis cit has been determined as 21.46 million m3/year
