Biomass Briquette or Bio Coal is made from agricultural, wooden, and forestry wastes by high compression process without adding any chemical, glue, or binder. It is thus a ‘binder less’ technology product resulting in 100% natural eco-friendly, pollution-free solid fuel. Biomass briquettes are a renewable source of energy and avoid adding fossil carbon to the atmosphere.
A popular biomass briquette takes waste products such as sawdust, groundnut shells, cotton stalk, castor seed shells, etc.; compresses them, and then extrudes them to make a reconstituted log that can replace firewood and coal. The Calorific Value (GCV) of the bio-coal is 4100+ KCal/Kg. The moisture content of a briquette can be as low as 4%, whereas green firewood may be as high as 55%. Bio coal has a high density of around 1000 Kg/M³ saves transport costs and space in storage. A very low moisture and ash content of around 8% makes briquette preferable solid fuel. Due to the vast availability and constant generation of agricultural wastes, the supply of briquettes can be easily available through the year with desired quantity.
