But the benefits are huge, including savings of the same magnitude on oil import bills. India faces a range of evolving energy security challenges. Based on today¡¯s policy settings, India¡¯s combined import bill for fossil fuels is projected to triple over the next two decades, with oil by far the largest component.
Can peanut shells be used as a biofuel?
This study has evaluated the energy parameters of peanut shells as a possible solid biofuel applied as an energy source in industrial and residential heating installations and the reduction in global CO 2 emissions that would result from the use of them. The HHV is a major property of biomass fuels.
Which country produces the most energy from peanut shells?
Uc is the unit conversion (0.000277778 Wh/J). Figure 4 shows the global energy produced using peanut shells as biofuel. The largest production of energy from peanut shells is found in China (25,579.75 MWh), followed by India (11,440.42 MWh), Nigeria (5253.69 MWh), the United States (3637.60 MWh), and Sudan (2891.79 MWh).
What if peanut shells were produced from conventional energy sources?
It has also been taken into account that if the energy that can be produced from peanut shells were produced from conventional energy sources, these would generate 0.357 t of CO 2. Therefore, the global CO 2 savings would be equivalent to if the energy produced by the peanut shell were produced by conventional sources.
