Advantages of biomass briquetting:

Briquettes produced from briquetting of biomass are fairly good substitute for coal, lignite, Firewood and offer numerous advantages

• This is one of the alternative methods to save consumption and dependency on fossil fuels.
• Its size and quality is uniform.
• Densities fuels are easy to handle and transport

• The process assists the reduction of fuel wood and deforestation.
• This process helps to get additional income to farmers and also cretes job opportunities.
• Briquettes are cheaper than coal, oil, lignite etc.
• Briquettes have a consistent quality, have high burning efficiency, and are ideally sized for complete combustion.
