Biomass briquettes

Biomass briquettes

Biomass Briquettes are a subsitute to coal, and are usually used to fire industrial boilers that produce steam. Biomass Briquettes are made of various sorts of raw material including rice husk, bagasse, groundnut shells etc. There is an increasing use of biomass briquettes as industries realize the benefits of containing pollution with favorable economics. Briquettes provide higher calorific value per dollar than coal used for firing industrial boilers. However in the long run, briquettes can only limit the use of coal to a small extent, but it is increasingly b eing pursued by industries and factories all over the world.

In India alone there are thousands of companies that have converted their coal based boilers to fire biomass briquettes.
