Abstract:

Pursuing sustainable energy solutions has increased interest in utilizing agricultural waste for energy generation. Among these waste materials, rice husk stands out due to its abundance and potential as a renewable energy source. Gasification, a thermochemical process converting biomass into valuable synthesis gas (syngas), offers a promising pathway for harnessing the energy content of rice husk. This systematic review presents a comprehensive analysis of rice husk gasification, focusing on technology, performance, and sustainability aspects. Drawing from a wide range of literature sources, including research studies, technical reports, and advancements in gasification techniques, the review aims to provide a holistic understanding of the field. The review elucidates the different gasifier technologies used for rice husk gasification, discusses performance metrics evaluating gasification efficiency, gas composition, and energy yield, and examines the sustainability implications of the technology. It also analyzes the influence of rice husk characteristics on gasification outcomes and identifies trends, innovations, and persistent challenges within the domain. This review improves rice husk gasification research by categorizing and synthesizing. Researchers, politicians, and industry stakeholders looking to understand the technology's potential and limitations might benefit from its findings. This evaluation helps guide decision-making and promote rice husk gasification innovations as the globe transitions to sustainable energy.
