Abstract :The energy security and diversification of energy have been the unchangeable elements of energy policies since the oil crisis in 1973. In addition, in 1990s, the negative effects of fossil resources on environment and natural resources have been realized. These factors have created a huge interest about the renewable energy resources. Renewable energy consists of wind, biomass etc. Biomass is described as all organic matters which are renewable in less than 100 years including plants, various products and wastes. This paper aims to evaluate the potential of biomass which is the important one in the renewable energy resources and the biofuel worldwide and in Turkey. Therefore in this paper, primary energy supply and electricity generation from renewable energy sources worldwide and in Turkey, the importance of biomass energy in the renewable energy resources, the current situation of biofuels insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(bioethanol and biodiesel); worldwide and in Turkey and the policies and practices about the the biofuels worldwide and in Turkey are examined.
