Abstract
One biomass energy source is rice husk, which is a very promising renewable energy source as it is an indigenous, cheap, and clean source of energy. However, environmental and financial profiles of electricity generation from rice husk must be assessed to ensure reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and positive cash flow. GHG emission from a rice husk generating system is significantly less than that from fossil fuel power plants. A dual-fuel diesel engine-generator of 800 kW, using a rice husk gasifier, is considered for this analysis. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of a traditional energy technology in a new perspective. The results of simulation data analysed in terms of pollution through GHG emissions, financial aspects, and suitability of the scheme for underdeveloped villages in economically developing nations are critical contributions of the paper. It also indicates the expected energy generation from the rice husk available in the region.
