Potential of Biofuel Usage in Turkey’s Energy Supply
Özet
Rapidly growing population and industrialization brought about the enormous need
for energy, alongside the environmental problems. Since biofuel energy is inexhaustible, it is becoming increasingly important to address the energy problem. Today, it
is possible to classify biomass energy into two classes: classical and modern. Classical
biofuel utilization is the simple burning of wood obtained from tree cutting and animal wastes, where modern biofuel application consists of a variety of fuels produced
from various sources. Turkey’s potential for biofuels is estimated to be around 45 Mg.
As a renewable energy, it’s been under the Renewable Support Scheme by regulation
for more than a decade now. By the end of 2016, installed biofuel electricity generation
capacity had reached 468 MW with 2 billion kWh realized (~0.7% of national demand).
The aim for 2023 is reaching at least 1000 MW (which will be around 1.3% by then).
Many analysts believe that the potential for development is higher and realization
therefore will surpass the official aims. Effective usage of biofuels for power generation may not be sizable but it’s critical and will make multilayer contributions to
energy supply and dependence as well as to meeting climate and sustainability targets
of the country.
