Abstract

Million tonnes of agricultural waste are produced in India. From these wastes, we can obtain useful biomass products which will be useful for the local people, living in the developing country. We know that bio-fuel, bio-based materials made from biomass can be used to produce starch, sugar products, oil and resins. Briquette made from agricultural waste is cheap, low-cost and also, is a good replacement for fossil fuels because it emits less pollutants. This paper provides characteristics analysis of biomass briquette made from agricultural waste and its physical properties and quality content.

Keywords

Agricultural waste, Biomass, Briquette, Starch binder, Proximate analysis, Elemental analysis
