Briquettes are compacted fuel products made from suitable biomass materials. Production methods and feedstocks vary, so quality should be assessed for the intended stove and cooking task.
Questions for a supplier
- What materials are used, and how are they sourced?
- Is the product compatible with the intended stove?
- How should it be stored to protect it from moisture?
- What evidence is available about performance and emissions?
Responsible adoption
Use the manufacturer’s operating instructions and appropriate ventilation. A biomass product should not be assumed to be smoke-free or carbon-neutral simply because it uses residues.
TABICA’s objectives include quality awareness, member capacity and sustainable market development. Contact the Secretariat to contribute practical knowledge or discuss collaboration.
