Abstract

According to the reforms and open market policy (Doi Moi), Vietnam’s economic growth has been increased consistently since 1986. However, several blackouts have been occurred due the lack of electricity in major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. Industrial parks and plants have been directly damaged by the blackout and inconsistent electricity supplement. Thus, Vietnam government sets up a plan to establish 362 billion kW sized power plants until 2020. From among these plants, 500 MW sized biomass power plants are going to be constructed. Mekong delta region produces 20million tons of the rice from rice mills. Among the rice production, 25% are produced as rice husk and it is incinerated or abandoned causing the air and water pollution. By utilizing rice husk regarding agricultural waste, steam and power can be generated. Through the feasibility study, the technical and economic feasibility study of biomass (rice husk) power plant are scrutinized.
