Abstract:

 This work investigates most feasible ways of processing biological wastes in Adana from energetic, environmental and economic points of view. Energetically, syngas constitutes 59 of bioenergy produced in Adana whereas biogas constitutes 41. Total of 9,5x105 MWh electricity can be generated from bioenergy of which 5,6x105 MWh comes from syngas. Based of 2020 electricity consumption values, 13,3  of electricity demand can be met by electricity generated from organic wastes. Substitution of Turkish grid electricity by the renewable electricity and prevention of organic waste decay provide 464 thousand and 391thousand tons of GHG mitigation, respectively. Economically, utilization of certain agricultural wastes as animal feed instead of bioenergy resource appears as a more feasible option. 13,2 billion TL can be gained through sales of animal feed, renewable electricity and organic fertilizer in Adana and 9,25 billion TL of this gain is solely acquired from animal feed. This result confirms the feasibility of evaluating these resources as feed instead of energy resource for syngas production through gasification. Hence, appropriate utilization of biological waste materials can make significant energetic, environmental and economic contributions to a region without creating competition with food or feed resources.
