The use of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources is increasing all around the world.
Over the years, the growth in energy needs by constituents has been efficiently exploited …

Biochar briquettes stand as the current frontrunner for cost-effective and sustainable
substitutes for fossil fuels in both energy and industrial sectors. Produced through the …

Briquettes uptake continues to be low, despite their ability to offset the negative impacts
caused by firewood/charcoal. Possible reason for this is lack of literature towards key …

Carbonization of raw materials for making briquettes has been identified as a possible way
of improving calorific values and fixed carbon contents of briquettes. In spite of these …

The goal of this study was to determine the effects of clay, gum Arabic and hybrid binders on
the physico-thermal and mechanical property of bio-composite briquettes from carbonize …

The main source of fuel for domestic cooking applications in Sub-Saharan Africa is either
locally available firewood species or charcoal produced by slow pyrolysis of these species …

Waste to energy conversion routes can contribute to solving energy poverty and waste
disposal problems while improving farmers' incomes by creating tradable value-added …

In energy scarcity, particularly in Agri-based developing economies, bio-coal briquetting is
the most suitable means of meeting sustainable energy needs utilizing agricultural waste. In …

Raw biochar can be enriched with nutrients from digestates through adsorption producing
nutrient-enriched biochar. The nutrient-enriched biochar can be used as a soil amendment …

This study introduced a novel microwave torrefaction (MWT) strategy combining optimal
briquetting conditions and oxidative MWT (OMWT) to create briquettes using empty fruit …
