Groundnut Shell Briquettes – High-Efficiency Fuel from Agricultural Waste

Groundnut shell briquettes are a highly efficient, eco-friendly biomass fuel made by compressing the dry shells of groundnuts (peanuts) into solid energy blocks. This agricultural waste product, once discarded or burned openly, is now being utilized as a powerful and sustainable source of thermal energy.

The briquettes are produced without the use of any chemical binders, making them a 100% natural and non-polluting fuel option. Due to their high calorific value (typically 3800–4200 kcal/kg), they provide consistent and efficient heat output, suitable for various industrial and domestic heating applications.

Groundnut shell briquettes are ideal for use in boilers, kilns, furnaces, and heating systems across industries such as textile, food processing, ceramics, cement, and bricks. Their low ash content, minimal moisture, and smokeless combustion make them an excellent alternative to coal and firewood. Moreover, they contribute significantly to the reduction of carbon emissions and environmental pollution.
