The main objective of the project is to develop the loose biomass waste to briquettes primarily to explore value of application avenues. The loose biomass waste composites to briquettes are developed in India on the basis of two strategy of preventing depletion of agricultural and forest wastages. In this raw material marigold (gillyflower), rose flower, lemon peels, orange peels, gigantean leaves, thorny leaves to briquettes based composites material with the addition of Synthetic adhesives binder have been developed substitutes for coal charcoal of briquettes & high density and comparison of wood. In this project the biomass wastages were fabricated by combining materials of moulding box in copped from hand lay method. A synthetic adhesive (INDOCOL-DLD) was used as the matrix material. The mechanical and thermal properties of these samples were investigated according to IS and ASTM standards. From the result it was observed that the comparison of biomass briquettes and wood with high calorific value and density and also very less carbon sulphur emission. The biomass briquettes are equal amount of compressive strength and durability has been observed. Briquettes have much lower ash content (20-40% as compared to wood or coal).
