Özet
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the biomass potential and the energy value, being produced from agricultural residues in Hatay province. Methods and Results: The amounts of residues from the agricultural crops cultivated in Hatay province were calculated using production data of crops with Turkish Statistical Institute for the 2018 seasonal years. The annual gross potential of agricultural residues was determined by using residue to product ratio or residue per tree or residue per area. The total amount of agricultural residues was approximately 652.8 kt.year-1 . The total heating value of the agricultural residues was around 13.36 PJ.year1 . The top four districts of Hatay according to the amount of agricultural residues are Kırıkhan (181.6 kt), Center (158.8 kt), Reyhanlı (111.3 kt) and Kumlu (65.2 kt). The major crops included in the ratio of the total residues amount were cotton (65.5%), maize (14%), olive (13.3%) and citrus (10.9%). Conclusions: The potential of agricultural residues concentrated in the Kırıkhan and Center districts. However, there are also significantly different crop residues in other districts. Hatay have a great agricultural residues potential for conversion to energy. Such a large potential necessarily has to be evaluated by establishing modern facilities. Significance and Impact of the Study: In this paper, the produced maps were provided to see more clearly in the differences of data among the districts. The mapping can provide the rise of public awareness, policymakers’ reference and investor's guide about these subjects.
