Briquett fuel (Briquettes) is an environmentally friendly fuel made from biomass materials (such as sawdust, rice husk, straw, etc.) by high pressure compression of briquette machine. Compared with traditional charcoal, briquettes show obvious advantages in many aspects. The following are some main advantages of briquette fuel over charcoal:

1. More environmentally friendly

The production of charcoal usually needs to cut down a large number of trees, which not only leads to the reduction of forest resources, but also may cause the destruction of the ecosystem. The briquette fuel is mainly made of agricultural wastes or industrial by-products, which avoids dependence on forests and effectively reduces the environmental pollution caused by waste accumulation. In addition, the carbon dioxide emission produced by briquette fuel during combustion is relatively low, which is more in line with the global environmental protection goal of carbon neutrality.

2. High efficiency and continuous combustion

The density and calorific value of briquette fuel are relatively high, which can provide more stable and lasting heat output. In contrast, charcoal burns faster and the utilization rate of heat energy is relatively low. Therefore, the use of briquette fuel can meet the needs of domestic heating, cooking or industrial heating more efficiently.

3. Lower cost

Because briquettes mainly come from biomass waste, its raw material cost is much lower than charcoal. In addition, the process of producing briquette fuel is simple and the scale is high, which further reduces the production cost. This makes briquette fuel more economical in the market, especially suitable for widespread use.

4. Cleanliness and convenience

Charcoal is easy to produce smoke and fly ash during combustion, which affects indoor air quality. The briquette fuel has less smoke and lower ash when burning, which is more clean and hygienic. In addition, briquette fuel has regular shape, small volume and convenient storage and transportation, which makes it more convenient in use.

5. Wide sources and strong sustainability

Raw materials for briquette fuel are widely available, including agricultural and forestry wastes and industrial residues, which are almost inexhaustible. Charcoal depends on natural forest resources, and its sustainability is far less than briquette fuel.

To sum up, briquette fuel, with its multiple advantages of environmental protection, high efficiency, economy and cleanliness, has gradually replaced traditional charcoal in modern energy use and become a more sustainable energy choice. With the continuous progress of technology and the enhancement of people’s awareness of environmental protection, briquettes will have a broader development prospect in the future.
