Does rice husk generate electricity?

Rice husk-based electricity generation is hindered by the absence of cogeneration facilities in rice mills. Rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation is wide-spread and constructing several biomass plants at various locations is uneconomical. Hence, instead of using as biomass, rice husk is field burnt as a method of disposal.

How does rice husk-based cogeneration affect the environment?

The environmental effect of rice husk-based cogeneration, as measured by the amount of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per megawatt-hour, is 17.16 . It is essential to note that the carbon emissions by using rice husk constitutes approximately only 1.3 % of the carbon emissions attributed to coal.

Can rice husk be used as biomass?

One of the major hurdles in rice husk-based bioenergy generation is the high cost associated with the construction of new plants. Therefore, even though a substantial quantity of rice husk and rice straw is available it is not effectively used as biomass due to the lack of cogeneration facilities.

Can rice husk be used as a power plant?

Synergistic use of sugar mills, thermal plants, and biomass power plants is stated. Sensitivity analysis and AHP methods are used to find new plant locations. Accessibility and distribution of rice husk to plants are analysed using ArcGIS. Reduction in carbon emissions by using rice husk for power generation is reported.

Can rice husk be used for cogeneration?

Therefore, rice husk can be readily utilised for cogeneration in the existing sugar mills or coal-based power plants to generate bioenergy. Proceeding with treatments such as biomass pyrolysis is highly advantageous, as it yields additional valuable products such as bio-oil, and aromatic compounds.

Can rice husk be used as a primary energy source?

In addition to the environmental impact associated with less carbon footprint, the establishment of proposed new power plants that utilise rice husk as a primary energy source has also additional benefits in terms of sustainable energy, low transportation cost of biomass to the nearest cogeneration facility and long-term viability.
