Future decade’s energy industries and startups can go for an innovation method of electricity generation using clean power mechanism by using the renewable energy and by utilizing the abundant Biomass wastes resources like husks, shells, powdery agri wastes, bagasse as fuels. Similarity to fossil resources, biofuels for heat power utility and electricity production benefits higher efficiency without environmental impact. Bio-Oil extracted from biomass, is a Carbon di oxide neutral technique and it will leads to credit among various resources of biomass coconuts are the surplus available source in the globe. Literature shows that research investigation in extracting the by product from coconut using pyrolysis is very limited. The objective of present work is to envisage the research methods for generating power from coconut shell using pyrolysis. Bio-Oil extracted from pyrolysis process can be used as a fuel for oil burners and in boilers for heat and power applications. Also Bio-oil can be blended at proper proportion with diesel to biodiesel fuel. Hence pyrolysis based fuel extraction techniques are key solution to solve energy shortage in a friendly way using coconut shells.
