A briquette is a block of carbonized, crushed and compressed organic waste material used as a cooking fuel. Briquettes replace the usage of conventional types of fuel such as wood charcoal and firewood, which helps to conserve trees.
Briquettes are an alternative source of cooking fuel that can replace use of ordinary charcoal and firewood. This helps save the forests since it reduces cutting down of trees for wood fuel.
Briquettes produced at school have replaced the use of firewood to cook. All school meals are made using briquettes made at school. Briquettes don’t only save cutting down of trees but are also cost-efficient up-to 35% compared to other sources of energy such as firewood and ordinary charcoal.
