The Investigation of the Alternative Fuel Biogas Potential for Model Town

The investigations have been intensively continuing for responding of energy and food demand depending on the world populationincrease and the development of the industrial progression. The energy necessities eliminate by using fossil fuels based sources suchas natural gas, coal and petrol. However, the amount of the fossil fuels is limited and they create the green houses gas problems,therefore, many of the researches have been focusing on new sustainable alternative energy sources, such as wind power, biodiesel,biogas, solar and biomass. The methane which is released by the methanogen bacteria is occupy a places in green gases which arecarbon dioxide and methane. Biogas as an alternative biofuel has higher impact in alternative fuels because of its applicability,sustainability, low production cost, keep the greenhouse gases in balance and produces bio-fertilizer after digestion processes. In thosepurposes, the biogas investment and investigation increases for all over the world however the potential of biomass conversion andthe examination for bio gas production have paid less concern in our country.In this study, the potential biomass and the amount of the biogas depending on the biomass potential have been investigated on one ofthe model town, Şiran in Gümüşhane. According to obtained results, it is seen that the biomass potential and the amount of the biogasproduction are highly enough for model town for natural gas demand and using bio fertilizer which is produced after digestion ofbiomass can be decreased by the utilization of the synthetic inorganic fertilizer, causing for soil pollution.
