Comparative analysis of the leading countries with Turkey in terms of bioethanol raw materials

Strategic importance of oil and gas supplies has increased in recent years. To diversify energy sources and to engage local resources for energy supply in countries with high external dependency has become very important. In the study, the raw material for bioethanol is evaluated in terms of compliance with the conditions of Turkey. Possible mandatory blending rates of bioethanol are assessed in terms of Turkish domestic agricultural production capacity. A comparative analysis on the best raw material cultivated in Turkey as source for bioethanol production is made.
