The lack of electrical energy in several localities of Brazil results in a slow perspective of in terms of economic growth and scientific and technological development. In order to minimize these problems it is proposed the use of co-generation systems with small thermoelectric plants burning rice rusk (an abundant biomass in certain regions of Brazil, as for example the Tocantins State) as a heat source and to utilize the discharged steam from the turbine to generate cold through an absorption refrigeration system. The work intends to show a possible solution to the problems originated from the absence of electric power in small and isolated rural villages, also problems of processing storage of agricultural residues and to generate cold for several applications.
