Energy has a strategic importance for all countries. To keep limited energy resources in proper use for a long time, the use of new energy and renewable energy resources should be expanded.
Significant amounts of organic residues are produced every year in agricultural areas and agro-industrial activities. Evaluating biomass resources and bringing them into the economy, they can be converted into useful energy in the area or region where they are formed.Turkey is one of the most important olive oil producers in the world, located in the Mediterranean Region. Olive pulp or pomace, as it is commonly known, produced in olive oil production is generally evaluated by burning.In this study, biogas production amounts were determined by adding olive pomace in different proportions to cattle manure. The experiments were carried out in laboratory-type biogas reactors. The retention time was chosen as 15 days, the fermentation temperature was 37 °C, and the dry matter content was 7%. The experiments were carried out in 4 reactors as only cattle manure, 10% olive pomace + 90% cattle manure mixture, 25% olive pomace + 75% cattle manure mixture, and 40% olive pomace + 60% cattle manure mixture.
According to the experiment results, the highest daily methane production was obtained in the mixture with 40% olive pomace added. In methane production per organic dry matter, the mixture to which 25% olive pomace was added produced the highest methane.
