Types and Benefits of Briquettes

In order to help customers gain a better understanding of the briquettes, the post is going to talk about the types and benefits of the briquettes excerpted from Developing Energy Enterprises Project East Africa (DEEP EA).

Briquettes are a household and institutional fuel, made by compacting biomass waste. Read on for more about this simple technology.Applications Briquettes have a wide variety of use from household to industrial. The fuel has not been fully exploited as there has not been scarcity of fuel in the past. However, with the current fuel shortage and ever rising prices, consumers are looking for affordable alternative fuels and briquettes fill this gap for:

Cooking and water heating in households;
Heating productive processes such as tobacco curing, fruits, tea drying, poultry rearing etc;
Firing ceramics and clay wares such as improved cookstoves, pottery, bricks etc;
Fuel for gasifiers to generate electricity;
Powering boilers to generate steam.

Two types of fuel briquettes exist in the market
1. Non-carbonized fuel briquettes. These are produced from waste materials that are not carbonized such as sawdust and waste paper.
2. Carbonized fuel briquettes. These are made from waste materials that have undergone carboniation such as charcoal dust, or carbonizing non-carbonized briquettes.

Benefits
Briquettes can potentially offer the following benefits over traditional biomass fuels (firewood or charcoal):
Uniformity and standardisation;
Could be tailored to the particular usage. i.e. long burning time, stove types (institutional or households), smoke and ash levels among others;
Lower overall fuel costs for users as they are made from biomass waste.
