Technical and Economic Feasibility of Rice Husk Based Power Generation in Jalpaiguri District, West Bengal
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Rice is the staple food of our country. In India about 120 million tons of Rice paddy is produced per year. Rice Husk is a by-product of Rice milling process. Rice Husk is carbon-neutral and considered as an alternative fuel and it is environment friendly as it can mitigate CO2, SO2 and NOX emission compared to the conventional fuel. Rice is cultivated in most of the parts of the Jalpaiguri district. A large amount of rice husk is dumped as a waste that causes waste disposal and methane emission problems. Rice Husk can be used in the electricity generation in an effective manner by which it can be converted from agricultural by product to valuable fuel for boosting the farm economy and development of rural areas. In the present study the rice milling process, potential of rice husk based power generation in the district are investigated. The cost benefit analysis and carbon credits that can be earned from the rice husk based power generation project are also evaluated.
