Electricity production from agricultural residues

The rice husk-based bioelectricity hfe cycle starts with the production of agricultural inputs such as rice seed, fertihzer, and pesticide, which then are used for rice farming. After the rough rice grains are harvested, rice husk is separated from brown rice [44]. While the brown rice is normally processed to obtain white rice for commercial purpose, the rice husk is directly transported to the power plant for generating electricity. The operation of rice husk-based power plants is similar to that of coal-based power plants. Nevertheless, as rice husk tends to contain less sulfur than coal, limestone consumption is omitted when considering the rice residue-based power plant.
