Abstract :The energy shortage in Europe in 2022, especially the problems related to natural gas, has revealed how important energy is in today\'s world. For this reason, energy saving and renewable energy are considered to be the most important issues in the world. Biogas energy is a valuable and renewable energy source that is developing in use and production. Gases originating from organic matter, called biogas, can be obtained through many different sources. One of them is animal manure, which consists of organic matter. In this study, the theoretical biogas potential of the provinces of Antalya, Afyonkarahisar, Burdur, Denizli, Isparta, and Konya was determined. In the study, an average of 2092686 tons/year of manure has been generated for these provinces between 2016-2020. An average of 677.18x106 m3/year biogas potential was determined from the waste. The average energy equivalent is 8.73 GJ.m3/year. If electrical energy is obtained from animal manure, the electrical energy potential per capita for the years used in the study was determined as approximately 159 kWh/person/year. It has been understood that the average per capita electrical energy supply will have the biomethane potential to meet the parts of Isparta (3.9%), Antalya (0.7%), Burdur (7.8%), Afyonkarahisar (11.7%), Konya (4.4%) ) for the provinces in the Lakes Region.Keywords : Biogas, Lakes Region, Methane, Electricity
