Sustainable development depends on the availability of energy resources and their impact on environment. Biogas is a carbon neutral renewable energy option and one of the leading solutions to the climate change combat. As Turkey is an energy importer country, using indigenous energy sources is vital to meet future energy demand. Agricultural activities and livestock potential have high contribution to economy in Turkey. Biogas production from organic wastes such as livestock manure in this context, gain more importance to contribute both renewable energy production and waste management strategies. Livestock farming has important economic value in Burdur. In this regard, the animal manure based biogas potential, energy value, electricity and organic fertilizer generation capacity of Burdur Province were determined in this study. The results revealed that Burdur has annually 1.45 million tons of available animal manure potential to be used for biogas production of 27.1 million m 3 /year. This potential corresponds to 135.4 GWh annual energy generation that could be converted to heat and electricity. Considerable amount of the biogas production capacity has accumulated in the Center and, Bucak, Yeşilova, Gölhisar and Karamanlı districts of Burdur. In addition, about 50776 tons/year of organic fertilizer can be produced as the residual of the biogas plants.

“…Biomass is the only renewable carbon resource that can be directly converted into fuel [2]. Especially in the last decade it has attracted more attention as a low risk and capital required renewable energy source [3][4][5][6]. Biomass is an abundant energy resource accounting for 9% of electricity consumption in the world in 2015.…”

In this study sustainable valorization of cattle manure, recycled polyester, and their blend (1:1 wt.%) were examined by the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) method. Pyrolysis tests were performed at 10, 30, and 50 °C/min heating rate from room temperature to 1000 °C under a nitrogen environment with a flow of 100 cm3/min. Kinetics of decomposition were analyzed by using Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) method. Based on activation energies and conversion points, a single region was established for recycled polyester while three regions of pyrolysis were obtained for cattle manure and their blend. Comparison between experimental and theoretical profiles indicated synergistic interactions during co-pyrolysis in the high temperature region. The apparent activation energies calculated by FWO method for cattle manure, recycled polyester. and their blend were 194.62, 254.22 and 227.21 kJ/mol, respectively. Kinetics and thermodynamic parameters, including E, ΔH, ΔG, and ΔS, have shown that cattle manure and recycled polyester blend is a remarkable feedstock for bioenergy.

“…About 8.6 MTOE of biomass energy [8] can be generated from agricultural, animal and urban wastes in Turkey in order to reduce the strong dependency on imported energy and to reach the envisaged 2023 targets of greenhouse gas emission reduction. The abundancy of biomass signifies its potential for renewable energy production in Turkey [9]. Biogas is one of the most promising technologies in Turkey.…”

“…Livestock manure is one of the favorable substrates for anaerobic digestion process due to its high moisture and volatile solids contents. Although there are some studies available on various kind of waste potential in different parts of Turkey [9,[12][13][14][15][16] there is no investigation on determination of biogas potential from the available livestock waste inventory in Aegean Region of Turkey. Therefore, this study aims to determine the animal waste (cattle manure, small ruminant and poultry) derived biogas and energy recovery potential of Aegean Region of Turkey.…”

Biogas is one the promising sustainable energy options due to high availability of organic wastes. Turkey is an energy importer country and diversification of the energy production with indigenous resources is vital for energy security. In Turkey, agricultural activities and livestock farming have important economic value. Biogas production from anaerobic digestion of organic wastes such as livestock manure is of great importance for renewable energy production and waste management for health and environmental protection. In this study, the animal manure based biogas potential, energy value, greenhouse gas emission reduction potential and organic fertilizer generation capacity of the Aegean Region of Turkey were determined. The region is composed of eight provinces including Afyonkarahisar,
