Biomass & Biogas Energy Investment

Hatay's significant agricultural and livestock sectors generate substantial waste volumes, including olive pomace from the region's olive oil production and animal manure from livestock operations. These waste streams provide a direct feedstock source for biomass and biogas facilities that convert organic waste into electricity or heat, turning a disposal cost into a revenue-generating input.

What Project Types Can Be Considered?

• Olive pomace biomass energy facility
• Livestock manure biogas facility
• Combined agricultural waste-to-energy plant
• Biogas facility with organic fertilizer byproduct sales

Which Areas Should Be Considered?

Areas with concentrated olive oil production, such as around Antakya and Hassa, are primary locations for pomace-based facilities. Districts with significant livestock operations offer separate biogas opportunities.

Licensing and Permit Process

• Grid connection application to TEDAŞ/TEİAŞ
• Generation license application to EPDK
• Environmental permit for waste processing
• Feedstock supply agreements with agricultural producers

Incentive and Support Elements

Biomass and biogas facilities can access the YEKDEM feed-in tariff guarantee for renewable electricity, alongside Region 6 investment incentives.

Points to Keep in Mind

Securing reliable, long-term feedstock supply agreements with agricultural producers before construction is essential, since facility output depends entirely on consistent waste volume input.
