Avani Pine Needle Gasifier

Submitted by Erin Rasmussen on

Avani is an NGO in the Central Himalayan Region of Uttarakhand, India. They are launching a program to provide electricity, cooking fuel, and jobs to remote mountainous villages through their pine needle gasification program. In the next five years, they will put up 20 village-level pine needle gasifier system to provide 2.4 MW of electricity, cooking fuel to 250,000 people, and 2,000 local jobs.

Facts about Producer Gas Engines

Submitted by Erin Rasmussen on

G. Sridhar and Ravindra Babu Yarasu June, 2011

We are pleased to learn of this paper, in which Sridhar and Yarasu connect and engine that is designed to run on producer gas to a downdraft gasifier, and learn a lot of new things; one of which is that the engine runs efficiently at a higher compression ratio without any problems with knock. They do a great job of presenting the results from their trials, and then comparing standard modeling tools and finding where the gaps are. Well worth the read.

HUSK Power Systems

We are world leaders in decentralized generation and distribution of electric power.
Husk Power Systems (“HPS”) lighted the first village from its first 100% biomass based power plant that uses discarded rice husks to generate electricity in August 2007 and today it has installed 60 mini-power plants that power ~ 25,000 households in more than 250 villages and hamlets and impact lives of approximately 150,000 people in rural India.
