Description

Generating Clean Energy from Rice Husks Rice is one of the world's most important food crops and is grown in many countries, including India. However, the process of milling rice produces a lot of waste in the form of rice husks. These husks are often burned in open fields, leading to air pollution and a waste of resources. Key Highlights: - A rice husk based cogeneration facility was implemented with a 2.5 MW condensing cum extraction turbine and one 22 TPH boiler. - The steam and electricity generated from this project activity replace the coal-fired boiler of 12 TPH and electricity generated by the fossil fuel-intensive state grid system. - The project reduces greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing a renewable energy source and reducing the need for fossil fuels. - The project provides employment opportunities for the local community and improves the air quality in the surrounding area. By implementing a rice husk based cogeneration facility, this project is able to generate clean energy from a previously underutilized waste product. This not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also provides a sustainable energy source that replaces the need for fossil fuels. Additionally, the project provides much-needed employment opportunities for the local community and improves the air quality in the surrounding area.
