Abstract

Today, renewable energy source of power generation has become very promising. As we know that conventional or non-renewable source of energies are very limited and are depleting very rapidly. Increasing energy needs of the world and continually growing population there is a power demand gap and it needs alternate sources of energy. So, there is a view to generate more and more power from renewable sources of energy. There are various forms of renewable energy sources. Biomass is one of the important sources of renewable energy. India has huge volume of potential for renewable energy sources. In India about 500 million metric tons of biomass energy is produced every year. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), Renewable energy could meet almost half of the global energy demand by 2050. The waste biomass like dry leaves, sawdust, rice husk, coffee husk etc.. are gathered and compressed into briquettes , these briquettes can also be transported and used as fuel to generate heat. It is high time to take initiative to turn Biomass into a source of energy. Hence here we take responsibility in converting agricultural and forestry waste into useful biomass briquettes , which can also be used as a substitute for Coal. In this project an attempt has been made to study the scenario of renewable energy, the effects of different parameters like calorific value, moisture content and ash content of biomass briquettes and various technologies to increase the efficiency of industrial boilers.
