Briquette in Nepal

From the very beginning, people have been using various sorts of fuels to make their lives easier. This is still the case today. In addition, the world needs all the different types of fuels to run smoothly. There are a lot of different types of fuel one can choose from. Among those various types of fuels, briquettes are also a very popular type of biomass fuel. Just like everywhere in the world, the use of briquette in Nepal is also very popular as it has numerous advantages over other fuels.

What Is Briquettes And Biomass?

Quite simply, we can say that briquettes are just a type of flammable blocks of matter that use various extruded combustible materials while preparing. In addition, it is also biomass energy that can be easily available and, most importantly controlled. In addition, it is a renewable source of energy that can power various tasks without having to worry about the stalk and the environment. Hence, using briquette in Nepal seems an ideal solution.

In the process of making briquette, we simply carry out operations that improve the characteristics of biomass. A method is popularly known as densification. By this process, we can generate the same amount of output energy but by using less volume of fuel as compared to before. From densification, we can simply increase the energy content per volume of the fuels.

Briquettes and pellets are the two types of products that are similar and can be created with this process. However, there are slight differences between these two. Briquettes are bigger in size and can be made in different forms. They can even be stacked, unlike pellets. On the contrary, pellets are smaller and are seen as a bulk material.

By creating biomass in such a manner, we can even get several benefits. Such products offer a high volumetric density and have great storage capacities. Also, additives can be added to them to change the physical and chemical properties as needed. Such biomass products also produce lesser dust when used and give a high homogeneity of fuel. Therefore, the use of briquettes in Nepal is seen as an ideal and effective format of fuel. Especially in remote areas, where people largely rely on burning wood.

Raw materials needed for making Briquettes

As in creating everything, raw materials are always the first part of the chain. We have stated why the use of biomass such as briquette will be sustainable in our country’s case. However, the question is, do we have all the necessary raw materials needed for making briquettes in Nepal? Let’s find out.

Basically, all kinds of biomass are not suitable for producing biomass briquettes. Another advantage is that for creating briquettes, plants don’t need to be solely cultivated for creating the product. In addition, by implementing this product, the quality of the original fuel can be increased. Briquette is a product that is produced as a result of adding value to low quality products such as agro-residues. In addition, this can also help in solving a huge problem. Almost all the wastes from the agro and agriculture sectors can be used in making briquettes.

People often guess that it is only the waste ad residues that are needed in creating biomass products. However, this is far from the truth, and not all the materials used in its creation is free. The major raw material use to create briquettes is wood. Also, the makers buy the materials needed to produce the product. Therefore, the farmers can also benefit economically by selling the products that would have been waste. Therefore, after knowing this fact, using briquette in Nepal only seems more sensible.

Advantages of using Briquette

Concentrated Product

Machine concentrates and compresses all the raw materials to make briquette. Hence, the final product is compact, denser, and harder. The density in this type of biomass is also higher than other types of biomass out there. Thus, the energy release from briquettes is less harmful than from firewood and charcoal.

Slow Burning and High Efficiency

Due to the compressed nature, these biomasses burn for a longer time and have lengthier life. Also, due to the high density and low moisture content, they offer a high boosted heating value. The briquette machine produces products that can generate more heat when compared to other fuels. Briquettes also have a high thermal value which produces a low content. They produce ash up to 2 to 10% as compared to coal which can produce up to 40%.

Reduced Smoke and Easy Storage

One of the most impressive attributes about briquette is that they are almost smokeless. They barely produce any smoke, shoot, or carbon footprint during the use. Depending on the raw material used, it also generates little to no fly ash.  Briquettes are available in many shapes and sizes, so they can be store in any place. As it comes in the shape of a cube. Cylinder, rectangle or sphere, they can also be easily piles or bagged.

Cost-friendly and Renewable

Usually, plant and animal waste makes briquettes. Therefore, both its production and selling values are relatively lower. They are cheap yet effective for of fuel. This makes using briquette in Nepal even more attractive. In addition, they are also made out of only organic materials. Therefore, they are also a renewable and sustainable energy source than conventional fuels.

Easy Production and Transportation

Firstly, the resources needed to make briquettes are available easily and in plenty of amounts. Also, the production part isn’t much of a headache either. For this, we need combustible matter and a briquette maker which molds and shapes the briquettes. These compact biomasses also reduce the volume up to 10 times. This automatically helps in storage and transportation. The loading and unloading process is also not very difficult. Hence, we can say that the use of briquette in Nepal is not just an effective fuel option, but can also be a good business option.
