Abstract
Objective: In this study, a reference energy system was developed, and biomass-based biofuel production was modeled for the agricultural sector in Turkey. This was aimed at supplying the entire energy requirement of the agricultural sector using agricultural biomass.
 Material and Methods: In the generated model, domestically produced sugar beet, and canola plants were selected as the energy-producing resources. A market allocation model was generated by interfacing the ANSWER software with all of the relevant import and export components.
 Results: The reference energy system was developed in six columns, including energy resources and demands. As a result of the use of domestic resources, the dependence on energy to foreign countries will be reduced and a new source of employment will be generated in this sector. Furthermore, the production and consumption of biofuels are more appropriate both in terms of cost and in terms of greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuels.
 Conclusion: The energy demand for the entire agricultural sector is met by the energy supplied from domestic bio-sources produced using part of the agricultural land.
