Energy demand around the world has been increasing rapidly especially in the developing countries. Considering global issues of sustainable energy and reduction in greenhouse gases, renewable energy is getting increased attention as a probable alternative source of energy. Biomass resources are often locally available and conversion into secondary energy carriers is feasible with lower capital investments. Rice husk has a great potential to be used as a source of renewable biomass energy, some value-added material like activated carbon and electrically conducting carbon can be extracted. The main objective of this study is to investigate the suitability of rice husk for of rice husk for achieving maximum energy extraction and for conversion into activated carbon with the particular application to absorbing colour and dyes from aqueous solutions. Thus use of rice husk biomass can create enormous opportunity for energy production and value-added product preparation in addition to clean energy production and bio-material preparation for both industrial and daily life use.
