Abstract

Energy is vital for the growth and development of any country. To fulfill the needs of people, huge energy was being developed and produced but unfortunately all the natural resources are being extinct. In order to supply and produce more energy, search for alternate fuels was widely entrusted to researchers. Fuel briquettes are manufactured from biomass and this technology was now a day’s widespread due to low emissions. Biomass is renewable fuel, while comparing to other renewable fuels biomass is more economical. The present experiment is carried out in such a way that minimization of solid waste and simultaneous power production was beneficial to society. This study incorporated the variables like proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, calorific values and characterization techniques like FTIR and XRD. The results showed that ptp leaves, rice husk and castor stalks were good sources for power production.
