Bioenergy in Turkey
Turkey intends to increase production of bioenergy. Biomass is part of renewable energy in Turkey as the biomass economical potential of Turkey is 8.6 mtoe/year. Arable crops in Central Anatolia and the Mediterranean have the most potential for electricity, and in 2021 biomass generated 7.6 TWh, which was 2.3% of the nation's electricity, from over 2GW capacity. Biogas. There is significant biogas generation potential in Turkey. More than eighty five million tons of animal waste is produced annually in Turkey.
