Abstract: The main aim of this study is to determine the theoretical capacities of waste disposal sites to produce biogas and electricity in Turkey in 81 provinces by using the First Order Decay (FOD) methodology. The population data of each province starting from 1950 to 2020 was used as time series to estimate the best fit model. The same model was also used for the future population estimations until the year 2080. The provinces have different characteristics. The big provinces in Turkey are best fitted with polynomial models. For 38 provinces the best fit models are “third order polynomials”, and for 10 provinces the “second order polynomials” are best fitted. The exponential and linear models are good for 15 and 13 provinces, respectively.
