Trial Mix for SMART Project
Proposed EVERGREEN Fuel Briquettes Project
The fuel Briquettes are made out of loose agro waste or biomass raw materials like rubberwood bark, rice-husk, saw-dust, groundnut-shell, coffee husk etc. which can be turned into a compressed form to increase its specific weight, thus increasing the fuel efficiency (Combustion Efficiency) as compared to its loose condition.

Fuel Briquettes are used to replace conventional fuels like coal, firewood in heating and steam generation etc. Briquettes have the advantage of having high calorific value ranging 3500-5000 KCals/kg depending up on the raw materials used. Briquettes do not emit smoke with sulphur or phosphorus and also fly ash. Hence no need for pollution control equipment. Easy handling, storage and transportation as the briquettes are uniform in size and can also be packed in pallet for own use or export.

A proposal will be prepared soon after the biomass is sent to the equipment supplier for the production of experimental fuel briquettes.
