What is biomass briquettes? Biomass briquettes is a substitute of coal and charcoal. They are used to produce electricity (fuel). This is converted into useful energy by the briquettes because they have fuel in it when composed to heat. Currently it is being generated by a low pressure of: firewood, wood pellets and charcoal. People studied that low-energy can be pressed in more heat to produce high- energy for fuel. Biomass Briquettes is used for many things such as: Help with gas for transportation. Helps us save energy of our homes. Used to replace charcoal ( helps heat up more and lasts a long time). It helps us save energy of our homes. Helps make gas for our transportation. More likely to replace coal (because it can be used for a long time). It is cheaper than coal. Now it is very dangerous to use biomass briquettes because of the pollution in our environment. Although it is cheaper and is better than coal you still cant use it now. Why? Because it is very dangerous due to the pollution of our environment. It is made out of plants and natural waste from animals what it does is that it recycles it. Is a renewable energy resource that use wood, waste and (hydrogen) gas to get energy. To produce heat. Biomass energy is taken from 5 different energy sources: wood, waste, garbage, landfill gasses, and alcohol fuels. Also helps with gas for transportation. An energy from briquettes is ranged from 4.48 to 5.95 kilojoules per gram. There is many stories about cowboys and how they start a fire in order to cook their food. Well they used biomass briquettes (wood) for the energy of the heat. What it does is that it helps keeps the heat so that way it would be warm.
