How much fuel does a small turbo prop burn on takeoff and climb?

Hi all, my first post here

I am doing some research into electric regional aircraft and I was wondering if you could give me a hint of how much small aircraft such as a Caravan would burn on taxi, takeoff and until it reaches cruise. (let's assume full load)

I read that a B737 can burn up to 20% of its fuel if it's a short sector, but there is no such info online about smaller aircraft.

Since aircraft such as a 208 and similar make many short flights, it would be interesting to know how much fuel is spent on takeoff and climb.

Thanks for the info!
