Electricity from Rice Husk A Potential & Eco- friendly Way to Electrify India

Abstract

as per reports it can be stated that the energy demanded by India is continuously increasing day-by-day. For the sake of providing energy security the amount of fossil fuels imported is quite high. With this, in fossil fuel there are several components like CO2, SO2 and NOX which presents an adverse effect to the environment. To find an alternative solution to this big problem and arrive to a satisfactory result, re-usable (renewable) energy sources are needed to be developed. In India the Rice is grown in a very large quantity and it holds a considerable rank in exporting to the rest of the countries, here rice husk is a potential source of energy. To produce energy the Rice mills can utilize rice husk produced by them. However, the energy produced must be such that leads minimum damage to the environment. In coal and oil-fired power generation have a lesser amount of SO2 and NOX emission, but higher than for natural gas. In this process the CO2 obtained from combustion of rice husk is taken as zero as it does not contribute to global warming. The CO and dust emissions are comparatively higher than the conventional power production pointing which is required for improving the combustion efficiency of the rice husk power plant. Overall, it suggests that rice husk will be successful feedstock to produce electricity and works well than fossil fuels (basically coal and oil) from the view of environmental emissions. Electrical energy generation of a country determines it’s economic development. Thus to compete other developed countries, India must have more than required electrical generation technique so that it can pace up the developmental process. To get development India has to, make the electricity available to most possible doors.
