Sawdust is often used as fuel for basic domestic needs like cooking, heating etc, with the application of the right technological procedure, the chemical energy in sawdust can be converted to electrical energy. sawdust is a usually a waste from timber processing industries and can pollute the environment if not properly disposed or utilized. Electricity can be generated from sawdust directly and sawdust can be processed into other products such as sawdust briquettes, pyrolysis oil, bioethanol and producer gas which can all be used to produce electricity using either a coal based thermal plant, oil based thermal plant and gas depending on the most suitable and efficient. As the calorific value of sawdust is dependent on the moisture content of the wood and the type of wood used, hence average calorific value of sawdust was used for this research work. In this study, the heat contents of sawdust and its various products were considered as fuels for divers power plants that is most suitable accordingly. This paper uses mathematical analysis to determine the amount of electrical energy produced from sawdust and it’s products. Sawdust briquettes was found to be the most efficient in terms of output power when a coal based thermal plant is utilized, the next being the utilization of a plain sawdust as fuel for a coal based thermal plant, the most optimal for the generation of electrical energy among the derivative of sawdust was pyrolysis oil being used as fuel in an oil based thermal plant.
