The industrial process and production of rice requires a correct management of the residues generated by them, for the best use of them, proper disposal, and reduction of environmental impacts. In this context, when perceiving the potential of rice production in the city of Cachoeira do Sul - RS, the present project proposes the economic viability analysis in the implantation of a thermoelectric power plant with the generation of energy from the rice husk biomass in the municipality of Cachoeira do Sul. For the present work, a survey of rice production in the main mills of the city was prepared and the amount of rice husk that could be used as fuel in the biomass-based thermoelectric plant was defined. The costs necessary for the implementation of the thermoelectric plant and the revenues from the sale of the produced energy were evaluated, making it possible to obtain economic viability analysis of the project. The values found in the minimum attractiveness rate, net present value, internal rate of return and payback calculations show that the use of rice husk for power generation in a thermoelectric plant is viable for Cachoeira do Sul-RS. https://doi.org/10.53316/sepoc2021.047
