Design and Evaluation of Hand Operated Briquetting Machine

Abstract

Every year, millions of tons of agricultural waste are generated and often inefficiently disposed of through destruction or burning in loose form, contributing to air pollution. In response to the challenges posed by global warming, briquetting technology has emerged as a renewable energy solution. In India, biomass stands out as the predominant source of energy, particularly in the domestic sector where charcoal and wood fuel are extensively utilized.
