In general, people are accustomed to using briquettes made from rice husks, charcoal, coconut fiber, corn cobs and so on. However, it cannot be denied that the role of petroleum remains the most superior for making briquettes. Briquettes are made after a series of compaction and pressing processes. This is to increase the calorific value per unit area of ​​a material. Therefore, it is hoped that alternative energy can produce better quality

  1. Alternative Energy : Briquettes contain ecological (environmentally friendly) materials, because they are made from natural materials which are suitable for alternative energy.
  2. Renewable Energy : Furthermore, briquettes function as renewable energy. The advantage of this fuel exists because the briquettes are made from natural biomass resources, namely. biological material that comes from living organisms. Examples of biomass sources are wood fuel, coconuts and other waste.
  3. Non-Toxic : These briquettes are designed to be non-toxic and are also made using a natural process where cassava flour is added as an adhesive for the briquette paste. Therefore, coconut shell charcoal briquettes are a safe and non-toxic material..
  4. Does not produce smoke : That is the advantage of briquettes as an alternative energy source that is very environmentally friendly as explained previously.
  5. Has maximum heat : The maximum heat of briquettes is very high, up to 7000 cal. In this way, briquettes have an advantage in the cooking process and are cooked faster and more thoroughly.
  6. Reducing marketing : Furthermore, briquettes can reduce pollution, fossils can cause pollution in the environment when they are no longer used. The function of briquettes derived from fuel is that it can reduce pollution caused by fossil fuels.
  7. Doesn’t run out quickly : If anyone thinks that biomass materials are more economical than fuel materials, then this is not entirely true. This is because the briquette material which comes from biomass is easily used up, so it needs to be replaced frequently. Even though fuel briquettes burn easily, this material does not run out quickly, so it will not cause waste.
