Abstract – This paper shows the feasibility study for establishing a manufacturing industry for extracting activated carbon and bio oil using coconut shell particularly in Vidarbha region. As we are talking particularly about Vidarbha region so according to present scenario there are very less number of manufacturing industries in Vidarbha region and demand is more. Also as we are extracting it from coconut shells and coconut shell is considered as waste so we try to make best from waste. In the present scenario energy sectors and individual entrepreneurs can opt a new way of power generation using the most abundantly available renewable source of energy in the form of biomass wastes. Among the biomass resources coconuts are the abundant renewable resource of energy available all around the world. Literature review showed that limited research studies had been carried out on yielding the product from coconut shell. The objective of present work is to envisage the methodology of generating activated carbon and bio oil by activation & pyrolysis process to that potentially could be used as water purification agent and fuel or as feedstock to valuable chemicals.
