FAQs
General Information
What are biomass briquettes and pellets?
Biomass briquettes and pellets are renewable fuels made by compressing organic waste materials, such as agricultural residues and wood waste. They serve as eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels for heat generation and energy production.
How are your briquettes and pellets produced?
Advanced briquetting and pelletising machines to compress biomass waste into high-quality biomass briquettes and pellets. This process ensures efficient binding of material, minimal ash content, and high thermal value.
What raw materials are used in your products?
We make biomass briquettes & pellets from leftover agricultural waste, specifically paddy straw waste and sugarcane straw waste.

Environmental Impact
How do biomass briquettes and pellets benefit the environment?
They reduce reliance on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and promote the efficient use of waste materials, contributing to a cleaner environment.
Are your products carbon neutral?
Yes, the carbon dioxide released during combustion is offset by the CO₂ absorbed during the growth of the biomass, making them a carbon-neutral energy source.
Usage and Applications
What industries can use your briquettes and pellets?
Schools can rely on our briquettes as a sustainable energy source for cooking, heating, and other daily needs—offering a cleaner and more affordable alternative to firewood and charcoal.
Can your briquettes and pellets be used for schools?
Biomass briquettes and pellets provide schools with a clean, affordable, and sustainable energy solution for daily needs such as cooking, heating classrooms and dormitories, and even small-scale power generation. By switching from firewood and charcoal, schools save on fuel costs, reduce harmful smoke in kitchens, and create healthier learning environments, all while teaching students the value of renewable energy and protecting the environment..
Can biomass briquettes or pellets replace coal?
Briquettes or pellets are a green energy source as opposed to coal. The combustion of biomass briquettes or pellets leaves no residue or waste. Briquettes or pellets burn more consistently because they are more volatile than conventional fuels.
Do biomass briquettes or pellets expire?
If the biomass briquettes or pellets become damp, they will not light efficiently. So they have a shelf life of 2–3 years if stored properly in a dry place.
