Abstract
Today, energy demand has become one of the important problems. The rapid growth of the world population and the development of the industry have increased the need for energy. The vast majority of the world's energy needs come from natural energy sources. But the limited availability of these energy sources has led people to search for renewable energy sources. One of these renewable energy sources is biogas energy. Biogas is a gas mixture of organic substances formed by anaerobic microorganisms under anaerobic conditions at certain temperature conditions. It is flammable due to the presence of methane (CH4) gas in average 65% by volume in the biogas. Other gases outside the methane in the biogas are undesirable gases. Biogas purified from unwanted gasses is the natural gas used today. Biogas production gains importance in terms of disposal of organic materials. Black Sea Region in our country, due to the disadvantage of the geographical location and the lack of settlements has been very difficult to store the landfill. Biogas production in the Black Sea Region is gaining importance in terms of eliminating these wastes and obtaining energy. In this study, biogas potential of kitchen wastes of provinces in Black Sea Region was determined. The highest biogas potential of the Black Sea Region was found to be 51 163.20 m3 / day in Samsun province. The biogas potential of the kitchen wastes in the Black Sea Region was 296 015.18 m3/day.
