Abstract

Briquettes serve as an effective alternative energy source, primarily produced from agricultural and industrial waste such as rice husk, bagasse, groundnut shells, cotton stalks, and soybean husks. These biomass briquettes emit significantly less carbon compared to conventional fossil fuels. Many industries are transitioning from coal to briquette-based fuel to promote sustainable energy practices and reduce pollution. This project focuses on developing a cost-effective bio-brick machine capable of producing briquettes from agricultural waste with high efficiency and minimal human effort. The design integrates mechanical principles to optimize compression, durability, and productivity while supporting environmental conservation.
