Biomass briquettes are a biofuel substitute to coal, and are usually used to fire industrial boilers that produce steam.
Biomass briquettes are made of various sorts of raw material including rice husk, bagasse, ground nut shells, etc.
There is an increasing use of biomass briquettes as industries realize the benefits of containing pollution with favorable economics. Briquettes provide higher calorific value per dollar than coal used for firing industrial boilers. However in the long run, briquettes can only limit the use of coal to a small extent, but it is increasingly being pursued by industries and factories all over the world.
In the developing world, charcoal is becoming one of the most environmentally damaging industries. The Legacy Foundation has developed a set of techniques to produce biomass briquettes through artisanal production in rural villages. They can be used for heating and cooking]]. These techniques were recently pioneered by Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, following the massive destruction of Mountain Gorilla habitat for charcoal.
