Biomass Energy
Electricity generation from organic resources; sustainable and environmentally friendly energy.
Biomass is a renewable energy source obtained from organic substances of plant and animal origin. Agricultural wastes, forest residues, energy crops and organic wastes are converted into electricity and heat energy in biomass facilities.
As Oltan Köleoğlu Energy, we produce electricity from local and national sources with Türkiye's largest biomass energy production capacity; We contribute to waste disposal and circular economy. Below we summarize the main features and benefits of biomass energy.
Renewable Resource
Biomass is a renewable energy source because it is obtained from plant and animal waste. This contributes to the continuous production of energy from renewable sources.
Unlike fossil fuels, biomass resources can be reproduced every year through agricultural and forestry activities; Thus, energy supply is secured in the long term and adaptation to climate targets increases.
Carbon Dioxide Neutral
When biomass is burned, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere; \nHowever, biomass obtained from plant sources absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during the growth process. \nTherefore, net carbon dioxide emissions are close to zero and biomass is considered a carbon dioxide neutral energy source.
With sustainable supply and efficient combustion technologies, biomass energy plays an important role in combating climate change.
Organic Waste
Biomass energy enables the conversion of organic wastes and agricultural residues into energy. \nThis helps reduce landfill areas and make waste management more efficient.
As Oltan Köleoğlu Enerji, we contribute to the circular economy with waste disposal exceeding 1 million tons annually; \nWe reduce the burden on the environment while transforming waste into value.
Contribution to Local Economy
Biomass energy contributes to local economies by providing support to local agricultural and forestry industries. \nConverting agricultural waste and wood into energy can provide additional income to farmers and foresters.
We strengthen local employment and agricultural production with initiatives such as the Farmer Academy and Seed Support Project in the regions where our facilities are located.
Energy Security
Biomass energy can increase local and regional energy security. By reducing dependence on natural resources, it can reduce the need for energy imports.
By producing with domestic biomass resources, we contribute to Türkiye's energy independence and reduction of foreign dependency.
Flexibility and Diversity
Biomass can be obtained from many different sources; \nThis provides a variety of options for energy production. \nWood, agricultural waste, animal waste, biological research waste and more can be used as a biomass source.
We create a flexible and sustainable supply chain by utilizing the regional waste potential in our facilities in Çorum, Afyon, Samsun and Karaman.
Refinability
Various types of biomass can be converted into energy using different technologies. \nIt is possible to convert biomass into liquid biofuels, biogas or solid biomass fuels; \nThis provides suitable solutions for different energy needs.
We realize efficient and environmentally friendly production with fluidized bed boiler technology and hybrid solar facilities.
