Abstract

Global warming and ever increasing pollution is one of the biggest concerns today, and people are always in search of alternatives of fuel and waste recycling methods. Briquetting is one of the best methods used to protect earth from problems caused by chemical and harmful gases emitted in the environment by fuel sources and careless dumping of waste. In this work, the mixtures of bagasse and sawdust were prepared as briquettes. The briquettes were prepared from bagasse and sawdust with varying composition of corn starch. Biomass briquettes are a renewable source of energy and avoid adding fossils carbon to the atmosphere.
