Why Briquettes ?
Every year, millions of tonnes of agricultural wastes are generated. These are either thrown away or burnt inefficiently in their loose form, causing air pollution. What many may not know is that these agricultural wastes can provide a renewable source of energy by simply converting them into high-density briquettes.
“The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing that all of us share.”
– LADYBIRD JOHNSON
The Process Inputs
Some of the commonly-used raw materials in the manufacturing of briquette are
Rice Husk

“You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people, you inform them, and you help them understand that these resources are their own, that they must protect them.” – WANGARI MAATHAI
