Center for Rice Husk Energy Technology at The Tech Awards Showcase

Alexis T. Belonio has developed a cooking stove and continuous-flow industrial burner, both of which use a finely tuned gasification process to produce a clean-burning fuel that is almost indistinguishable in appearance and emissions from liquid propane. Huge piles of inedible rice husks are often found rotting beside roads or smoldering in fields, producing smoke emission in rural household and industries. This adds up to about 2 million metric tons of potential energy going to waste each year. The Rice Husk Gasifier is simple in design, allowing rural people to build it themselves using locally available resources and skills. The fuel can be used for various thermal applications, providing a practical solution to the high cost of fuel while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. www.crhet.com
