Bio-Mass Utilization for Power Generation

Energy crisis has severely hit Pakistan’s Economy to an unbearable extent. The acute shortage of conventional energy has not only made the life miserable of a common man but the business from Pakistan is also shifting towards more developing countries which in turn pose a serious question towards the effort of the government in resolving the energy crisis as Pakistan is facing approx 10,000 MW shortage of electricity. Pakistan has got the biggest natural resource reservoirs of renewable energy which includes but not limited to coal, natural gas etc. Therefore efforts are being made to utilize the renewable energy resources in order to reduce the demand and supply gap. The renewable resource if not utilized will lead towards the destruction at a huge scale , Pakistan is God gifted in terms of available natural resource which can be utilized in the number of ways in order to overcome the needs of a common man. There are various ways to overcome the current issue of energy crisis. The key areas are coal mine, agricultural residues and wind energy, all of these can play a major role in providing an uninterruptable power supply to the national grid. This paper presents a solution for the above mentioned problem by generating biogas through the waste material. Initially the gas is produced from the waste material which is then compressed and formulized to produce methane gas, the gas then treated with few enzymes to produce steam which will be used to produce electricity at an affordable cost.
