Biomass Briquetting

Expert guidance to establish your profitable biomass briquetting plant from concept to commissioning.

What is Biomass Briquetting?

Biomass briquetting is a process that converts agricultural waste, forest residues, and other organic materials into high-density solid fuel blocks called briquettes. These briquettes serve as an excellent alternative to fossil fuels like coal and firewood.

The briquetting technology compresses biomass under high pressure without using any chemical binders, resulting in clean-burning, eco-friendly fuel with high calorific value.

High Density
Low Moisture
High Calorific Value
Low Ash Content

Benefits of Biomass Briquetting

Eco-Friendly

Reduces waste and greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing agricultural residues that would otherwise be burned in open fields.

Cost-Effective

Lower cost compared to fossil fuels, with consistent pricing not subject to the volatility of international energy markets.

High Energy Efficiency

Briquettes have high calorific value (4000-4500 kcal/kg) and burn longer with consistent heat output.

Rural Employment

Creates jobs in rural areas through collection, processing, and distribution of biomass and finished briquettes.

Reduced Storage Space

Compact and dense briquettes require significantly less storage space compared to loose biomass materials.

Versatile Applications

Suitable for industrial boilers, brick kilns, heating systems, and can replace coal and firewood in many applications.

The Briquetting Process

1

Collection & Preparation

Agricultural residues and biomass waste are collected, cleaned, and sized appropriately.

2

Drying

Moisture content is reduced to optimal levels (typically 8-12%) for efficient briquetting.

3

Compression

Biomass is compressed under high pressure (1000-1500 kg/cm²) without any binding agents.

4

Cooling & Packaging

Briquettes are cooled to stabilize and then packaged for storage and distribution.

Raw Materials for Briquetting

Rice Husk
Groundnut Shells
Coffee Husks
Sugarcane Bagasse
Sawdust
Cotton Stalks
Wheat Straw
