Briquettes or White coal are ready substitute of Lignite / Coal / Wood in industrial boiler and brick kiln for thermal application. Biomass briquettes are Non-conventional Source of energy, Eco-friendly, Renewable in nature, non polluting and economical. It’s made through binder less technique i.e. without use of any type of chemical so it is 100% natural. Bio-fuel Briquettes have high specific density (1200 Kg/m3) and bulk density (800 Kg/m3) compared to 60 to 180 Kg/m3 of loose biomass. These can withstand the stocks of long distance transport, Loading/unloading and transportation costs are much less, and storage requirement is drastically reduced. Compared to fire wood or loose biomass, briquettes give much higher boiler efficiency because of low moisture and higher density.
Use of bio coal is increasing day by day and has very demandable market due to its fuel cost saving and pollution free characteristic.
