Quality assessment of solid biofuel made of sweet sorghum biomass

BIO Web of Conferences, 2018
The present article relates to assessment of energy utilization of sweet sorghum waste biomass as solid biofuel (briquettes). The briquettes were produced from biomass of pure sweet sorghum after juice extraction, mixture of sorghum with wood sawdust ...

Characterization of briquettes developed from banana peels, pineapple peels and water hyacinth

Energy, Sustainability and Society, 2023
Background Uganda’s energy relies heavily on biomass sources. This dependence on biomass for household and commercial purposes, driven largely by population increase, poses pressure on natural resources, such as forests. This study investigates the usage

The technical pre-feasibility to use briquettes made from wood and agricultural waste for gasification in a downdraft gasifier for electricity generation

Journal of Energy in Southern Africa, 2017
Biomass can be converted to energy through various thermochemical and biological processes. Gasification is one of the thermochemical processes that has recently gained popularity, because it achieves higher conversion efficiencies than, for example ...

Analysing The Effect of Rice Hush and Saw Dust in Preparation of Briquettes Using Hand Operated Briquetting Machine [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Air pollution is caused by the millions of tonnes of agricultural waste that are produced year and either incinerated or burned inefficiently in loose form. Briquettes made of biomass can be used as a substitute for wood charcoal.

Biomass Briquettes in Malawi

, 2007
In Malawi 2.5 % of the forest disappears each year. The use of firewood and charcoal, deriving from forest resources, accounts for about 99 % of the household energy demand in Malawi and is a cause to the deforestation.
