In this study, total fuel (diesel +motor oil) consumption, energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in silage maize production in Kocaeli region were evaluated. 195.145 L/ha fuel (Diesel + lubrication r oil) is consumed in usage of tools and machinery in silage maize production. For this process, a total of 7241.62 MJ/ha of diesel and motor oil consumption is made. In silage maize production, 535.92 kg CO2 emission is produced regarding the consumption of 193.28 /ha diesel and 1,864 L/ha motor oil. In this region, 4.8447 L total fuel (Diesel + lubrication oil) and 179.782 MJ energy were consumed to produce 1 ton of silage maize. In result of total fuel consumption, 13.3049 kg CO2 is released for 1 ton of silage maize production.
