What Are
Bio-Briquettes?

Bio-briquettes are densified solid fuel blocks made by compressing agricultural residues — such as rice husk, groundnut shells, cotton stalks, sugarcane bagasse, and sawdust — under high pressure without any chemical binders.

The result is a uniform, high-density fuel that burns longer, cleaner, and more consistently than raw biomass or traditional firewood. With a calorific value comparable to low-grade coal, briquettes deliver serious industrial energy performance with a fraction of the environmental impact.

At Agape Group, we supply premium-grade briquettes with controlled moisture, consistent dimensions, and traceable biomass sourcing — giving your operations both performance and compliance confidence.

01
Agricultural Waste Collection
Rice husks, groundnut shells, cotton stalks, sawdust, and other agro-residues are sourced from farms and mills across the region.
02
Drying & Size Reduction
Raw biomass is dried to optimal moisture levels (<12%) and shredded into uniform particle sizes for consistent compaction.
03
High-Pressure Compaction
Material is fed into briquetting machines at high temperature and pressure — no chemicals or binders. Lignin in the biomass acts as the natural binder.
04
Quality Testing & Dispatch
Each batch is tested for calorific value, moisture, ash content, and dimensions before packaging and dispatch to client facilities.

Our Environmental
Commitment

Switching to bio-briquettes is one of the most direct actions an industrial unit can take to reduce its carbon footprint without disrupting operations or overhauling existing infrastructure.

Bio-briquettes are made from waste that would otherwise be burned openly in fields or dumped in landfills — both of which release uncontrolled methane and particulate matter. By converting this waste into a controlled fuel, we eliminate open burning while simultaneously reducing fossil fuel consumption.

As India tightens industrial pollution norms and mandates ESG disclosures for listed companies, switching to verified carbon-neutral fuel gives your operations a compliance advantage and a defensible sustainability story for stakeholders, investors, and auditors.

Frequently
Asked

Still have questions? Our team is available to walk you through technical specifications, trial orders, and supply agreements.

In most cases, yes. Bio-briquettes are compatible with standard grate-type and stoker boilers used for coal. You may need minor grate adjustments for optimal performance depending on your boiler design. We recommend a trial run with 1–2 MT before committing to full conversion.
Our minimum trial order is 1 MT (1,000 kg). For regular monthly supply, we recommend starting at 10 MT/month. We work with both small units and large industrial plants — supply volumes are customised to your consumption pattern.
On a per-Kcal basis, bio-briquettes are typically priced competitively with or lower than coal when you factor in ash disposal costs, pollution penalties, and maintenance savings from lower ash content. Exact pricing depends on volume, delivery location, and market conditions. Contact us for a customised quote.
Switching to biomass fuels may support your eligibility under renewable energy and green industry incentive programs. As part of our full-service offering, Agape Group can assist with government approval processes — including schemes under MNRE and SIDBI — that recognise bio-energy adoption.
Our briquettes are made from a blend of rice husk, groundnut shells, cotton stalks, sawdust, and sugarcane bagasse — sourced from agricultural operations. The exact composition may vary by batch and season, but calorific value and quality parameters are maintained consistently.
Yes. Every batch is tested for calorific value, moisture content, ash percentage, and physical dimensions. A quality report is provided with each dispatch. We can also arrange third-party lab testing for large contracts or audited supply agreements.
Yes — significantly. Bio-briquettes produce zero sulphur emissions and substantially lower particulate matter compared to coal. Many units have switched to briquettes specifically to achieve compliance with CPCB and state board emission norms without investing in costly add-on pollution control equipment.
