Safeguarding the environment for the benefit of future generations via the production of briquettes.
Briquettes are a slow-burning fuel type that conserves energy for household heating and culinary purposes.
Finding alternate sources of cooking energy is crucial in a time when we want to protect the environment while also cutting costs. Briquettes is one of them.
A briquette is a block of compressed coal dust, charcoal dust, sawdust, wood chips, or biomass that is used as a fuel in stoves and boilers, according to Waswa Daruis of the Baliseka Mada conservation group.
Procedures in briquette making
● 10 kg charcoal dust/fines
● 5 kg saw dust
● 1 kg cassava starch
● 0.5 kg limestone

Uses of charcoal briquettes
Because charcoal briquettes are a slow-cooking fuel, they are suitable for burning while preparing dishes that require a lot of fuel, like dry beans and matooke.
- Warmth in cold houses
- Brooding
Advantages of briquettes
- Only a few of them were required to prepare time-consuming dishes.
- Because they can be reused if they are still firm or unbroken,
- Briquettes can be used in conjunction with charcoal to lessen its use.
Biomass briquette making is gaining in popularity as the development of renewable energy continues to become popular. Setting up a biomass waste recycling plant not only helps you to make a good profit but also protects the world’s environment today and in the future. Making biomass briquettes is becoming more and more common as interest in alternative energy sources grows. In addition to assisting, you in making a high profit, setting up a biomass waste recycling facility safeguards the environment for both the present and the future.
