Important aspects for the planning of biogas energy plants: Malatya case study
Open accessAbstract
Conventional energy use causes various environmental impacts of global warming. Also, as a result, renewable energy sources are more beneficial because they generate virtually no emissions. Biogas is historically recognized as a by-product of the anaerobic (oxygen-free) decomposition of agricultural waste. One of the most critical issues for biogas plants in electricity production is the economically and environmentally safe disposal of vast volumes of digestate. In this study, an extensive pathway for the establishment of a large-scale biogas energy plant was presented. Under these lightings, a case plant built in Akçadağ-Malatya was investigated from the techno-economic point of view. The case plant was built to generate heat and power as well as solid and liquid fertilizer. The produced biogas and methane were respectively recorded as 229,49 m3/h and 139,08 m3/h. It was determined that electricity generation in an amount of 5,256,000 kWh per year from the digested feedstock was available with the maximum power capacity of 625 kWh. The annual and daily heat energy outputs were calculated as 6,482,400 kWh and 640 kWh, respectively. The solid and liquid fertilizers were respectively determined as 40,891.03 t/a and 5,152.74 t/a. According to the results, total investment costs per the produced electricity for the biogas energy plant were calculated as 1451.53 €/kWh. The payback period was calculated as 2.22 with a net present value of 944,714.44 €. CO2 emissions have been reduced by 14,105 tons per year thanks to the co-generation system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
