Türkiye‘de Muz Artıklarına Ait Enerji Potansiyelinin Belirlenmesi

Fossil fuels, which are the most widely used and long-used primary energy sources in the world, are estimated to be run out in the near future depending on this amount of usage. As a result of this consumption, the threat of global warming is growing. Increasing the use of renewable energy resources in order to reduce fossil fuel consumption, use of renewable energy resources is a great opportunity to reduce this environmental damage. In this study, the possibilities of evaluating the agricultural residues of banana plants which are intensively cultivated especially in the Mediterranean Region as an energy source were investigated. As a result of agricultural activities, approximately 209,448 tons of dry biomass residues are produced for 498,888 tons /year banana plant in 2018 and it is calculated that these residues will have 987 MW energy potential when recycled as energy. Depending on this potential banana residues, availability of facilities and contribute to the country's economy be able to be converted to energy in Turkey were discussed as solid biofuel.
