Abstract :In order to ensure a sustainable quality of life, a sustainable energy system needs to be created. Energy sources of fossil origin are not infinite. Therefore, the search for alternative sources for these resources has intensified in recent years. Animal, agricultural, urban organic and treatment sludge from these sources are organic waste or residues. Energy is obtained by burning these wastes. In this study, animal, agricultural, urban organic and treatment sludge wastes and combustion energy values of different years were calculated for Uşak, Turkey. The total annual energy values were determined as 2342215 GJ of animal origin, 6302240 GJ of agricultural waste, 1294897 GJ of urban organic waste and 291 GJ of treatment sludge waste.
