PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Project eligibility under the Gold Standard
The owner of the proposed project is Gönen Yenilenebilir Enerji Üretim A.Ş.will install a biogas
facility within the premises of Doğasan Tarım ve Gıda Mamülleri San ve Tic. A.Ş. which has been
carrying out stockbreeding activities in Gönen since 2008. Recently, Doğasan has increased the
number of cattles to 2,000 which has also increased the volume of waste. Together with Altaca
Çevre Teknolojileri firm, Doğasan has decided to construct a biogas installation which would both
solve the waste problem while providing clean energy.
The main economic activities in Gönen are leather, stockbreeding, and rice farming, which creates
significant environmental problem. Most of the rice stalks are burned in the field after harvest and
creates air pollution. The feedstock of the facility will not only be composed of the manure from
husbandry from Doğasan’s own activities; but it will also collect manure from chicken farms and
agricultural waste such as the rice stalks and organic wastes of food industry. The facility will have a
capacity of 2.126 MWe to generate electricity from the biogas obtained via anaerobic digestion of
the feedstocks. Annual generation is expected as 19.57 GWh of electricity. Waste heat is planned to
be sold to nearby plants.

GÖNEN BİYOGAZ TESİSİ
GÖNEN YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ ÜRETİM A.Ş.
PROJE BİLGİ NOTU
Ülkemizde, gıda ve elektrik enerjisi ihtiyacı, ekonomik gelişme ve nüfus artışı gibi nedenlerden
dolayı hızla artmaktadır. Gıda miktarlarında, artan talebin karşılanamaması sonucunda fiyatlar
yükselmiş ve yıllarda dışa bağımlılık artmıştır. Diğer taraftan, bir başka önemli ihtiyaç olan
elektrik enerjisi üretebilmesi için gerekli kaynakların (doğalgaz, petrol, vb) yetersizliği nedeniyle,
Türkiye enerjide dışa bağımlı bir ülke konumundadır.
Gıda ihtiyacını karşılamak amacıyla, tarım ve hayvancılık sektörüne yapılan yatırımlar
artarken, bu sektörlerden kaynaklanan atıkların bertarafı önemli bir çevre sağlık sorunu haline
gelmiştir. 2008 yılından günümüze Gönen bölgesinde hayvancılık sektöründe faaliyet gösteren
Doğasan Tarım ve Gıda Mamülleri San. Ve Tic. A.Ş, son dönemde gıda üretimi konusunda
yatırımlarını artırmış olup, bu çerçevede daha önce Oba Salça Fabrikası arazisindeki
tesislerinde bulunan büyükbaş hayvan sayısını yaklaşık 2.000 adede çıkartmış, bunu daha da
artırarak bölge ve ülke ekonomisine katkı sağlamayı planlamaktadır.
Sözkonusu kapasite artışı ile birlikte ortaya çıkan atıkların ve çevrede tarımsal ve gıda
Gold Standard Passport version 2.1 July 2009

Gold Standard Local Stakeholder Consultation Report
üretiminden kaynaklanan diğer atıkların değerlendirilmesi amacıyla, seçenekler incelenmiş
olup, Altaca Çevre Teknolojileri firması ile yapılan işbirliği kapsamında Türkiye’nin
halihazırda en büyük kapasiteli biyogaz tesislerinden birini gerçekleştirmek üzere yatırım
kararı verilmiştir.
Kurulacak olan biyogaz tesisinde hammadde olarak büyükbaş ve tavuk dışkılarının yanısıra
mezbaha ve deri atıkları ile beraber bölge halkının en büyük dertlerinden olan pirinç sapı vb.
tarımsal ve gıda atıkları kullanılabilecektir. Sözkonusu hayvansal ve tarım atıklarının oksijensiz
ortamda çürütülmesi (anaerobik fermantasyon) ile elde edilecek metan gazının yakılması ile
elektrik enerjisi üretilerek, hem bölgede önemli bir sorun olan atık miktarı azaltılmış olacak,
hem de elektrik üretimi ve iklim değişikliğine katkıda bulunan metan (CH 4) gazının bertarafı
sağlanacaktır.
2012 başında inşaatına başlanması planlan biyogaz tesisi 2,126MWe elektrik üretim kapasitesi
ile ülkemizdeki en büyük tesislerden birisi olacaktır. Tesisin devreye alınması sonrasında, bu
ölçekte hayata geçen ilk projelerden birisi olarak, tarım ve hayvancılık sektörüne öncülük
edeceği öngörülmektedir.
Gönen biyogaz tesisinde hayvansal ve tarım atıklarının oksijensiz çürüme teknolojisi ile elde
edilen biyogazın jeneratörlerde yakılması neticesinde yıllık 19.57 GWh elektrik enerjisi
üretileceği öngörülmektedir. Jeneratörlerden çıkan sıcak su, tesisin ısıtma ihtiyacında
kullanılacak ve bu sayede dışarıdan bir enerjiye gerek duyulmayacaktır. Tesisten çıkan egzoz
gazının ısısının da geri kazanılarak, buhar üretiminde kullanılması ve yakınlarda bulunan
tesislerde kullanılması öngörüşmektedir.
Tesis inşaatının yaklaşık 7 ay sürmesi ve 2012 sonunda devreye alınması planlanmaktadır.
Projenin yapımı esnasında gerekli işgücü ve malzeme mümkün olduğu ölçüde, öncelikli olarak
bölgeden temin edilecek ve yerel ekonomiye önemli katkı sağlanacaktır.
Hasanbey Köyü mevkiinde bulunan Doğasan arazisi üzerinde kurulması planlanan Gönen
Biyogaz tesisinin hayata geçirilmesi ile sağlanacak faydaları şu şekilde özetlemek mümkündür:



Halihazırda bölgede çukurlara gömülmek suretiyle çevre kirliliğine neden olan ve halk
sağlığını tehdit eden hayvan atıkları bertaraf edilecektir.
Tarlalarda yakılarak çevre kirliliğini olumsuz yönde etkileyen pirinç sapı tesiste
hammadde olarak kullanılacağı için pirinç sapı bertarafı da sağlanacaktır.
Hayvansal ve tarım atıklarının bertarafı ile elde edilecek elektrik enerjisi ile ülkemizin
enerji açığının azaltılmasına katkıda bulunulacaktır.
Anaerobik fermantasyon sonucunda çıkan atık malzeme gübre olarak tekrar ekonomiye
kazandırılacak ve tarım bölgesi olan Gönen tarımına katma değer sağlayacaktır.
Hayvansal atıkların bertarafı sorununa çözüm olacak olan tesis hayvancılığı daha cazip
bir sektör haline getirecek öncelikle Gönen bölgesinde ve ülkemizde hayvancılığı teşvik
edecektir.
Tesisin hayata geçmesi ile sağlanacak ekonomik katma değerlerle bölgede istihdam
artacaktır.
Biyogaz tesisi sayesinde mevcut durumunda çukurlara gömülen hayvan dışkısının yer
altı suyunu kirletmesinin önüne geçilecektir.

Gönen Biyogaz Tesisi
Projenin Yeri
Gönen Biyogaz tesisinde günlük 250 ton hayvansal ve tarım atığı bertaraf edilerek 22.000 m 3
biyogaz (yaklaşık 12.000 m3 doğal gaz eşdeğeri) elde edilecektir. Elde edilen biyogazdan
üretilen elektrik ve metan bertarafı sayesinde, sağlanacak ekonomik kazanç ve yukarıda
belirtilen çevresel faydaların yanı sıra, yılda yaklaşık 50.000 ton karbondioksit (CO2) eşdeğeri
sera gazı salımı engellenecek olup, küresel ölçekte de iklim değişikliği ile mücadeleye katkı
sağlanmış olacaktır. Sağlanacak emisyon azatlımı yaklaşık 70.000 ağacın sağladığı sera gazı
azaltımına eşdeğer miktarda olacaktır.

Project Note
In Turkey, needs of electrical energy and nutrient increase due to developments on
industrialization, economy and increase in population. Due to the high demand on
nutrients, prices increased and dependency on out sources increased. On the other hand,
because of lack of natural resources used for energy production such as natural gas, oil,
and etc. Turkey is dependent on import fuels for electricity generation.
Within this scope, manure from Doğasan farm and nearby facilities will be used for producing
biogas and electricity In addition to that, waste which satisfies the organic waste criteria,
excess organic materials used for the nutrition of the animals in the factory and organic
Gold Standard Passport version 2.1 July 2009

Gold Standard Local Stakeholder Consultation Report
products not suitable to be used will be utilized at biogas plant.
The waste fed to the plant will be decomposed under anaerobic conditions and biogas will
be produced. Generated biogas will be fed to gas engines
The project construction has started in march 2012 and the construction is expected to be
completed as end of 2012. 2,126 MW electrical energy capacity project will be one of the
largest capacity project in Turkey. After starting operation of the project, it is expected to
be a lead at the foot and animal industries by being one of the largest operated capacity
projects.
Main benefits of the project are;
- Waste collected from the animal shelters will be decomposed and turned in to more
stable state fertilizer which is environmentally platonic and odorless,
- Organic waste will be used as raw material for biogas production
- Biogas from agricultural wastes and cattle excrement will be used electrical
energy,
- The obtained fertilizer will have less odor compared to present fertilizers and will
contain more free nitrogen(N),
- CH4 emissions caused by the present fertilizer storage and sludge stabilization
activities will be decreased,
- Rice stalks which are burned in fields after harvest will be used in the plant and
thus forest fire risk will be avoided. This will also avoid loss of fertility of soil due
to loss of useful organisms during burning of the stalks.
The location of the project is in the existing facilities of Doğasan AŞ. The specific location
of the project is shown below on the map.

The meeting was organized in the premises of Gönen Chamber of Commerce, Balıkesir Province.
The agenda of the meeting was defined considering the GS requirements. After opening of the
meeting and definition of the purpose of the meeting, the Mayor of Gönen and the District Governor
of Gönen delivered very insightful speeches in support of the project. After these opening speeches,
Alper Önoğlu, the Head of Executive Board of Gönen Yenilenebilir Enerji Üretim A.Ş. made a
presentation about the project. After Mr. Alper Önoğlu, GTE representative gave a presentation
climate change and carbon certification.
The participants in general stated their support for the project. They emphasized that waste from
Gold Standard Passport version 2.1 July 2009
21
Gold Standard Local Stakeholder Consultation Report
animal breeding and agricultural activities, which are the main economic activities in Gönen, were
creating a significant environmental and health problem. Especially the firing of the rice stalks after
the harvest creates serious air quality problems. Thus, the locals were very happy that the project
was addressing multiple problems both at the local and international level; healt problems, waste
problems, sustainable energy generation and climate change.
The governors during their speeches mentioned that the District’s productivity has been increasing
and the waste was a main problem. In this regard, they briefed the participants about their efforts to
solve animal and agricultural waste and shared experiences from the study visits they carried out in
other countries. They indicated that this project was going to bring a sustainability vision to the
region and they invited the farmer participants to produce similar solutions with the help of the
government.

km from biogas plant by tanker trucks.
Milk waste with acid: Milk waste with
acid will be carried from our shareholder’s
milk facility which is about 4 km from
biogas plant by tanker trucks.
Slaughter House Waste: There are 3
slaughter houses within the area.
Currently the wastes are taken to the land
fill and buried with the MSW. The wastes
from the slaughter houses will be carried
by covered trucks.
If the farmers do not
burn and leave the rice
straws on the field who
will carry them to the
biogas facility?
Yes
The farmer will leave the straws on the field after
harvest. Then we will bale the rice straw with
special equipment and carry them to biogas
facility. The baling and carrying cost will be
covered by us
What kind of
precautionary
measures you take in
case of an
emergency?Is there an
explosion risk?
Yes
The facility will be producing a gas mixture
(biogas) which may explode if necessary
preventive measures will not be taken.
All necessary explosion proof measures required
by law and standards and according to good
engineering practices will be taken. The major
preventive measures are listed but not limited to
the following.
Gas holding equipment will be designed 1.5 times
the maximum possible pressure in the
equipment/vessel.
All the equipment will be leak free. All piping and
vessels will be tested for leaks before
commissioning.
All equipment will be installed electrically bonded
and totally earthed for spark prevention.
Gold Standard Passport version 2.1 July 2009

Gold Standard Local Stakeholder Consultation Report
All equipment close to gas sources will be
explosion proof class equipment.
If there is an over pressure in the system, the gas
will be directed to the flare and the over pressured
gas will be incinerated. In case, the flare will not
be sufficient, the safety relief valves which are
installed on the gas tanks will discharge the over
pressured gas to the atmosphere.
Hydrocarbon sensors will be installed in and out
of the gas holding equipment which will be used
to monitor the hydrocarbon level. In case the
sensors detect that the hydrocarbon concentration
reaches 60 % of lower explosive limits, an alarm
will be activated. If the hydrocarbon reaches 80
% of LEL level, then adequate equipment will be
shut down to stop gas production and gas within
the tanks will be directed to the flare to incinerate
under control. The automation scenario will be
controlled by the automated process control

Air quality
To generate electricity by biogas will reduce the amount of PM, SO2 etc released to the air
in Turkey.

Water quality
and quantity
Currently the cow and chicken manure is disposed in the non-sealed pits and lagoons
digged in the soil. This is fully violation of environmental regulations and standards. In
the region, the ground water level is high and the lagoons are usually linked to the nearest
ground water source. As a result of this, the water from manure is mixed with the ground
water.
The manure which will be used as feed material in our biogas plant will be collected
directly from the farms before they are disposed to the pits and lagoons. The manure will
be put immediately into the well-sealed concrete pretreatment tanks as soon as it arrives to
the biogas plant site and pumped to the digesters immediately. There will not be any
manure storage on the biogas plant site and there will not be any contact between the
manure and the soil. Thus there is no risk of waste water from manure reaching the
ground water sources.
The digesters and tanks are designed as leak-proof and made of high quality and high spec
concrete which have no cellular voids inside. The digester and pre-treatment tank internal

surfaces will be epoxy sealer coated. The digesters and pre-treatment tanks will be filled
and tested with water before they are filled with the feed material. In case any leakage will
be observed during the tests, the leakage will be fixed before filling the feed material. The
tanks and digesters will be filled with feed material only after ensuring of no leakage in
the tanks and digesters.
Soil condition
Project uses a land within the boundaries of investor which were formerly being used as
tomato paste plant. Construction works and land use will be minimum. Small amount of
excavation soil will be used in the landscaping after construction works are completed.
Using rice straw as feed material in the biogas plant is decreasing burning rice straw in the
fields. This will increase the yield because burning rice straw in the field causes loss of
organic matter and useful bacterias and useful insects in the soil. Therefore the project will
have positive impact on soil quality.
Project will not have impact such as erosion or soil pollution. If wastes from other farms
are also accepted in next stages, than the impact on soil condition will be positive.
Other
pollutants
Solid waste and waste oil will be handled according to the national regulations. The
recyclable solid waste will be collected separately. The waste will either be used in
construction or disposed in appropriate locations.
The waste oil obtained collected during construction and operation phases will be either
provided to license waste oil collecting firms or returned to the seller of the oil.
Wastewater from the plant will be discharged after they are treated in wastewater plant.
Biodiversity
There exist no protected or endemic species identified in the project site. The project area
is within the boundaries of Gönen district and area used is formerly used as industrial
plant.
There exist no vegetation covers or fauna within the project area which is currently
partially used as poultry. Project will be implemented near existing poultry.
Quality of
employment
Project activities will create many direct and indirect opportunities both locally and
nationally. The positions will be for both skilled and unskilled labor and provide
alternative employment opportunities for those who work on agricultural sector.
Recruited staff will be trained and certified according to local regulations. Protective
clothing and equipment will be provided to employees. Wastes will be handled in closed
system so interaction of staff with waste will be limited.
The workers will also be trained on the safety and medical issues as soon as they are
employed in the biogas plant. No employee will be allowed to work before the proper
training will be given. Although adequate worker training will be given and proper
equipment and tools will be in place for poultry litter handling, the plant workers and staff
will have periodic medical checkups. The plant workers and staff will have adequate
personal protective equipment and tools for safe work and operation.

Livelihood of
the poor
Income of local people from project activities will increase as a result of project. Disposal
and transport costs due to wastes will be eliminated to a great extend after commissioning
of the plant.
Although the project will contribute local economy, impact of project on livelihood of the
poor according to parameters defined by GS will be limited.
Project will not cause any expropriation.

Project will increase human and institutional capacity of the workers and local community
in terms of awareness about environmental issues. However the impact will be limited.
Therefore, the indicator was scored as neutral.
During the construction and operation phases, recruitment will be conducted among the
local workforce.
Documents locally recruited staff during operation will be provided during verification.
Turkey is heavily dependent on import fossil fuel for electricity generation. Project will
help to decrease the dependency of fuel import and result in net foreign currency saving
and energy security. Nearly half of the Turkey’s foreign trade deficit is due to energy
import.

Project will assist in development of new technology to Turkey. Project will be one of the
largest biogas plants in Turkey and will be built by a local company which will increase
experience and skills of the local company.
