Abstract
The use of bagasse, rice husk and municipal solid waste as a fuel for power generation can be an option to supplement the growing power demand as the conventional power source i.e. fossil fuel is diminishing day by day. So bagasse, rice husk and MSW have the substantial potential of such energy to be tapped in a synergistic manner. The potential of power generation by bagasse in Uttar Pradesh is 1400 MW which can replace approximately 560 tonne of coal otherwise. The green house emissions are also lower in the burning of bagasse reducing the environmental pollution. Also the potential of power generation by rice husk in Uttar Pradesh is 257.05 MW which is equivalent to energy of approximately 102 tonne of coal. At district Etawah the power generation by rice husk is approximately 9.45 MW. Likewise the potential of power generation by MSW in Uttar Pradesh is 258 MW which can save approximately 103 tonne of coal. If the power is generated by all these non conventional fuels in Uttar Pradesh then the overall power generation potential would be 1916.5MW equivalent to 766.42 tonne of coal. Even the blending of rice husk with the bagasse and MSW both is possible to have appreciable calorific value in case of scarcity of any one of three at a place. An effort is made here to study and analyze keeping the availability and environmental pollution in view of all these resources at district Etawah of Uttar Pradesh in the country.
