Comprised of pulverized coal, biomass and lime as a desulfurizer if
necessary, the bio-briquette, or bio-coal, represents a promising alternative
for kerosene or firewood, of which excess uses are to be limited in view of
conservation of natural resources and environment. After the manufacturing process is briefly described, its combustion characteristics are
presented, including good ignition, stable and clean burning with much
less emission of smoke, SO, and NO,. The technological transfer of the biobriquette to developing countries is under development.
