Groundnut Briquettes are dense, high-energy biomass fuel made from groundnut shell residues a by-product of peanut processing. These 70mm cylindrical briquettes deliver a powerful calorific value of 4000 kcal/kg, with moisture at 7% and ash content under 8%. Offered at Rs 9.5/kg, this biofuel is a clean-burning, cost-effective substitute for coal and wood, especially for industrial heating, boilers, and thermal systems.

Q1. What are groundnut briquettes made of?
A1. They are made from compressed groundnut shells agricultural residue generated during peanut processing.
Q2. How do these briquettes compare with coal?
A2. They offer a comparable calorific value (4000 kcal/kg), burn cleaner, and have much lower emissions.
Q3. What types of boilers are they suitable for?
A3. They work well in both manual and semi-automatic solid-fuel boilers.
Q4. Can they be stored for long periods?
A4. Yes, provided they are kept in a dry, well-ventilated storage area.
Q5. Is the ash reusable or disposable?
A5. The ash can be used as a soil additive in agriculture due to its mineral content.
Q6. Are they eligible for green energy benefits?
A6. Yes, using biomass briquettes can contribute to sustainability certifications and help meet renewable energy targets.
