dc.description.abstractInadequate access to energy poses a critical challenge to Malawi’s economic development: currently 87% of the Malawi population lacks access to electricity. The project developed a rice husk gasification system as an alternative source of power for electricity generation. Based on the potential analysis of collected data, a rice husk gasifier power plant is being developed in Wowo Cluster Village, Nkhulambe Extension Planning Area (EPA), Phalombe District. Installation of waste biomass-based power plants is recommended. In rural areas this would lead to enormous beneficial changes for local communities, improving health conditions, and encouraging new business developments.en
