Analysis of Potential Electric Energy Rice Husk using Gasification Process in West Sumatera

Currently, the use of fuel is increasing, it feared that fossil fuels will run out in near future and national energy policy make target new renewable to reach 23% 2025, especially those most widely used for electricity fuel. Energy from vegetable waste one solution produce biomass an alternative replace fuels. The potential at Indonesian, West Sumatra area very large, which solid rice husk agricultural products. In this article, gasification downdraft method synthetic gas internal combustion engine coupled with electric generator. results production Sumatera 2021, total 1.361.769 tons dry unhulled (GKG), 272.353,8 husks or about 20% production, mass syngas 235.335,47 tons, electrical 118.924,82 MWh per year. generator can runs 216 days continuously cost $ 224.64/day vs $302.23/day a diesel engine. So gasifier 34.5% more efficient compared
