Abstract
In this chapter, the impact of rising cost of fuel and inability of government to supply electricity round the clock leading to spurt in frugal innovations utilizing alternative sources of energy has been analyzed. Rice is one of the prime crops of India, Rice husk, perceived as waste by many, being abundant and available at low cost can be major contributor in alternate energy. Due to lack of awareness of the potential of rice husk it is discarded as waste and results in waste disposal problem and methane emission. The use of rice husk for electricity generation in efficient manner has potential to transform agricultural waste into a valuable fuel and could help in boosting farm economy. This study explores the usage of rice husk and its untapped potential as a major fuel source. The target markets are villages in India with 400-500 households having ample biomass feedstock.
