Do biomass briquettes generate higher energy?

When you compare such a measure, of one product against the other, you need to know the details of both products (in terms of physical and chemical characteristics). Do you want to compare the energy produced by the briquettes, against the energy of the biomass from which they have been made? read more

Then the answer is, the briquettes made out of a biomass feedstock shall produce more energy, than the biomass feedstock itself, due to the following factors. Let me take the example of biomass briquettes made from saw dust. read more

caloric content of the briquettes increased with the percent of biomass in the briquette. The lowest value was found to be 4.48 kJ/g for 100 percent paper briquettes and the highest was 5.95 kJ/g for 100 percent biomass briquettes. The values for the 1: 3 and 3: 1 parts paper to biomass briquettes were determined to be 5.48 and 5.90 kJ/g, respectively. read more
