Oil is the primary energy consumed in Indonesia amounting to
about 73.2% of major sources and still increasing at a growth
rate of about 10% per annum.
Th f il g i id ti l t i till th The use of oil as energy sourcein residential sectoris still the
highest (71%) as compared with electricity (23.5%) and LPG
(5 4%) (5.4%).
The dwindling supply of oil and its ever-increasing market
price necessitates for an alternative sources of energyto pgy address this energy need.
On the other hand, biomass supply throughout the country is
huge and its utilization is still considered at low level.
Rice husk is one of the biomass resources of the country Rice husk is one of the biomass resources of the country
which still remains untapped.
About 10 million metric tons of rice husk is produced p
annually and Indonesia ranked 3
rd
, following China and
India, in terms of the volume of world’s rice husk
production.
At present, there is no much utilization of rice husk as fuel
reso rce and er limited de elopments has been done resource and verylimited developments has been done
towards its use for low cost thermal and even for power
generation.
The conventional way of burning rice husk, which is direct
combustion,contributes significantlyto greenhouse gas ,gygg emission particularly CO2
.
With the recently developed rice husk gas stove, which is a
second-generation type, disposal of rice husk will no longer
be a problem. Instead, rice husk will now be considered an
i economic resource.
The second-generation cooking stove burns gaseous fuel
from rice husks and operates comparably like the
conventional cooking stoves.
The stove is made affordable to the grass root sector and The stove is made affordable to the grass root sector and
offers a lot of potential in reducing CO2
emission.
This presentation discusses about the MJ rice husk gas stove This presentation discusses about the MJ rice husk gas stove
as an alternative cooking device that is low cost, which at the
same time, reduces CO
2
gas emission.
