Biomass energy is at the forefront of sustainable energy sources that can be harnessed without causing environmental pollution. It is considered a suitable and important energy source due to its inexhaustible nature, accessibility in various regions, and its potential to contribute to socio-economic development, especially in rural areas.
Agricultural and forestry waste constitute the most significant potential resource for biomass. The limited nature of fossil fuels and their adverse environmental impact have made biomass utilization increasingly important in addressing energy challenges.

1- Agricultural biomass resources;
- Oilseed plants (canola, sunflower, soy, etc.)
- Sugar and starch plants (potato, wheat, corn, sugar beet, etc.) • Fiber plants (flax, hemp, sorghum, miscanthus, etc.)
- Vegetable residues (branches, stalks, straw, roots, bark, etc.)
2- Biomass Resources Obtained from Forests and Forest Products
- Forest and forestry industry waste and residues, energy forests, energy plants.
3- Animal Biomass Resources
- Feces of cattle, sheep and poultry, slaughterhouse waste and wastes generated during the processing of animal products.
4- Biomass Resources Obtained from Urban and Industrial Wastes
- Biological origin industrial wastes, municipal wastes, sewage sludge.
Different fuel types can be produced from biomass resources by applying the following conversion methods.
Our Biomass Energy Potential
According to the Biomass Energy Potential Atlas (BEPA) data prepared by our Ministry to determine the biomass energy potential, the total economic energy equivalent of our waste that can be collected is estimated to be approximately 3.9 MTEP/year.
As of the end of June 2022, the installed capacity based on biomass and waste heat energy was 2,172 MW, representing 2.14% of the total installed capacity. The changes in installed capacity over the years and its share in the total installed capacity are shown in the following graphs.
