From Guest Blogger Deepi Makwana: Biomass Briquettes – Substitute To Fossil Fuels

Biomass Briquettes - Substitute To Fossil Fuels

Biomass briquettes are solid biofuel made from agriculture waste or bio waste under high mechanical pressure with the help of biomass briquetting press machine. It is the process of recycling bio waste material and turn into useful solid biofuel without harming the environment.

Biomass briquettes are Biofuel best substitute to coal, charcoal, diesel and other fossil fuels.  They all are replaced by biomass briquettes as the source of renewable energy- energy that won’t run out. Renewable biomass briquettes are used to generate green electricity and heat in Industries as well as for cooking at household sector. Industrialists are using briquettes to heat industrial boilers in order to produce electricity from steam. The most common use of briquettes are in the developing world, where energy sources are not as widely available.

Fossil fuels can produce more electricity than biomass briquettes but it generates lot of pollution in the atmosphere which is very harmful to the environment. So that is the prime reason to avoid fossil fuels in another way. Agro forestry waste like almond shells, groundnut shells, cumin waste, saw dust, rice husk, tea husk, coir pith, jute waste, bagasse, cotton stalk, forestry leaves, wheat husk etc… are gathered and compressed under high mechanical pressure in the briquetting machine without help of any chemical or binder. After the biomass briquetting process biomass briquettes are produced which are Eco friendly and Economical than fossil fuels. This process does not emit any type of carbon emissions or green house gas emissions in the atmosphere so it is also known as binder less technology and briquettes are also called white coal because they do not pollute environment when burns.

Biomass Briquettes Vs Other Fossil Fuels

Sr.no Factors Biomass Briquettes Fossil Fuels – Black Coal
1 Calorific value 3800-4000 5000-5500
2 Pollution No chemical Sulphur, Co2, Phosphorous fumes
3 Ash Content 10 to 15 % 20 to 40%
4 Cost Rs. 4.5/kg Rs. 8.0/kg
5 Wastages 8 to 10 % 15 to 20 %
Moisture 8 % maximum 10 to 20%
7 Labour Usage Single person can handle Requires more than one person
8 Boiler Efficiency Normal fly ash deposit on tubes High wear and tear
9 Quality Consistent quality Not stable

Advantages Of Biomass Briquettes

There are many reasons to use biomass briquettes for renewable energy. They are best green alternative to fossil fuels and completely replace them by an Eco friendly briquetting press machine. Due to its Eco friendly features Government encourage this project by giving subsidy on purchasing briquetting machine and offer various fiscal incentives.

  • Bio coal briquettes are cheaper than fossil fuels.
  • Briquette comes with high burning and thermal efficiency.
  • Do not pollute environment when it burns as they are Eco friendly.
  • These briquettes have consistent finish quality.
  • White coal briquettes are clean to handle and can also be easily packed in bags.
  • People who have been using wood for cooking and heating purpose will find that biomass briquettes are most efficient than wood.
  • Briquettes are used in various industries such as ceramic industry, spinning mills, brick making units, food processing unit, rubber industry, leather industry, textile industry and so on.

Biomass briquettes are environment friendly and cost effective so more and more countries are switching from fossil fuel to bio fuel to get its benefits.
