This research aims to explore the utilization of paper as a form of a renewable source

of fire to effectively reduce the amount of used paper in Metro Manila. The researchers also

aim to find out if paper briquettes would be an acceptable alternative for charcoal. Our

research proposes the use of biomass briquettes as an alternative to wood charcoal.

This research traced indigenous researchers concerning the efficiency of biomass

briquette and how this can apply in the Philippine setting. The whole concept of paper

briquettes has the essence of “hitting two birds with one stone” with its quality of being a low

cost and wood-saving quality- it provides household economic efficiency and environmental

efficiency.

Since barbecue using charcoal is very popular in Metro Manila, we tried to use in this

research grounded theory to generate deeper understanding and realities why household used
charcoal despite the presence of paper briquettes. As part of our design, we demonstration how

paper briquettes are usually prepared and how long it burns. In our findings, we discover that

most users of charcoal have little knowledge about paper briquettes. Some of the problem we

encountered includes the nature of smoke generated by paper briquette and its negative effect

on one’s health. With our discoveries, we recommend a further study about paper
briquette.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.dlsu.edu.ph/wp-

Feasibility of biomass briquette production from municipal waste streams by integrating the informal
sector in the Philippines

Aries Romallosa, Eckhard Kraf

Resources 6 (1), 12, 2017

A technical and socio-economic feasibility study of biomass briquette production was performed in Iloilo
City, Philippines, by integrating a registered group of the informal sector. The study has shown that the
simulated production of biomass briquettes obtained from the municipal waste stream could lead to a
feasible on-site fuel production line afer determining its usability, quality and applicability to the would-
be users. The technology utilized for briquetting is not complicated when operated due to its simple, yet
sturdy design with suggestive results in terms of production rate, bulk density and heating value of the
briquettes produced. Quality briquettes were created from mixtures of waste paper, sawdust and
carbonized rice husk, making these material flows a renewable source of cost-effective fuels. An informal
sector that would venture into briquette production can be considered profitable for small business
enterprising, as demonstrated in the study. The informal sector from other parts of the world, having
similar conditionality with that of the Uswag Calajunan Livelihood Association, Inc.(UCLA), could play a
significant role in the recovery of these reusable waste materials from the waste stream and can add
value to them as alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) for household energy supply using appropriate
technologies. View Full-Text

International Journal of Information, Business and Management 5 (3), 97, 2013

Offering environment-friendly products would not only lessen the pollution but it also suggests greater
benefits to the economic productivity since it is offered with lower price due to its raw materials from
abandoned biomass. The purpose of the proposed project is to establish a manufacturing plant of
charcoal briquette that is made up of combustible materials and water hyacinth. This study used a
descriptive type of research method with survey questionnaire administered to the target respondents
who were owners of restaurants that utilized charcoal for grilling. The company adopts partnership form
of ownership and based on the result of the survey, the study is feasible in the region and raw materials
were abundant in the nearby towns and provinces. It is resolute to establish a business which offers high
quality and low priced green charcoal in the market as alternative biofuel with payback period of 4 years
and 11 months based on the result of financial analysis.https://scholar.google.com.ph/scholar?

Utilization of cashew nut shell residue for charcoal briquettes and activated carbon production

Belen B Bisana, NB Laxamana

FPRDI Journal (Philippines), 1998

Cashew nut shell (CNS) residue derived afer extraction of its liquid was carbonized using the FPRDI
carbonizer, The carbonized sample was bonded using 7%, 8%, and 9% cassava starch binder. Eight
percent cassava starch-bound shell charcoal briquette was used as control. Each sample was analyzed for
heating value, volatile conbustible matter (VCM), fixed carbon, ash and crushing strength. Variation of
treatment means for briquettes, VCM ash, fixed carbon and crushing strength was highly significant. CNS
briquette bound with 7%, 8% and 9% cassava-starch briquettes were not comparable with the coconut
shell charcoal bound with 8% cassava starch in VCM, ash and fixed carbon. The crushing strength of 9%-
bound CNS did not significantly differ from the control. CNS charcoal was activated using the high-
temperature-heat method at 700 deg C, 800 deg C and 900 deg C for 1, 2 and 3 hrs. The iodine
adsorption test showed that increasing the temperature to 900 deg C in 3 hrs increased the charcoal's
adsorptive capacity

Development and characterisation of charcoal briquettes from water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)-
molasses blend

PloS one 13 (11), e0207135, 2018

Charcoal briquettes are inexpensive solid fuels made from carbonized biomass. The potential of
converting water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) charcoal into briquettes with molasses as binder was
investigated in this study. Dried water hyacinth was carbonized at a temperature between 350°C to
500°C in a fabricated fine biomass carbonizer. A solution containing 80% by weight molasses was used in
the production of briquettes having different charcoal/molasses ratios of 40:60, 30:70, and 20:80. Each
briquette was characterized in terms of bulk density, calorific value, compressive strength, proximate
analysis and micro-structure by Scanning Electron Microscopy. Charcoal briquettes were tested for their
flammable characteristics through their burning rates and ignition time. Altering the molasses to
charcoal ratio affected the quality and characteristics of the briquettes. Volatile combustible matter and
fixed carbon increased with increasing amount of binder while ash content decreased. The 30:70
charcoal/molasses ratio produced the highest calorific value (16.6 MJ/kg) and compressive strength
(19.1 kg/cm2). The results have shown the potential of converting water hyacinth into an alternative fuel
source.https://scholar.google.com.ph/scholar?

Abstract : The Philippine government issued Executive Order No. 23, s 2011 declaring a moratorium on
the cutting and harvesting of timber in the natural and residual forests, and creating anti-illegal logging
task force. This prevents communities engaged in traditional charcoal making from continuing their
enterprise. And yet, traditional charcoal is still being sold in the market and is widely utilized by
households. This study looks into charcoal briquetting in the country and aims to identify factors that
affect the production and marketability of the briquettes. In particular, the challenges experienced by
two communities that have received training and financial support from the government and from a
non-profit organization to establish a charcoal briquetting facility were investigated. Focused group
discussions and key informant interviews were conducted to gather information on the implementation
and benefits of charcoal briquetting in community. The study found that the factors leading to the
success of charcoal briquetting at the community level include a strong cooperative that oversees the
operation of the facility and additional income to community members involved in the production of
charcoal briquettes. However, consumers still need to be educated on the benefits of using charcoal
briquettes. Despite the availability of the financial and technical supports, and the existence of an
established cooperative to run the operations of the facility, the absence of external support in finding a
suitable market for these briquettes limits the production and marketing capability of the
community.https://www.cabdirect.org/cabdirect/mobile/abstract/20163319654

Evaluation of fuel properties of charcoal briquettes derived from combinations of coconut shell, corn cob
and sugarcane bagasse
Gino Martin T Arellano, Yuji S Kato, Florinda T Bacani

DSLU Research Congress 2015, 1-6, 2015

The study aims to evaluate the fuel properties of charcoal briquettes made from combinations of
coconut shell, corn cob and sugarcane bagasse at specified ratios. In the study, single (100%), double
(50%-50%) and triple (33%-33%-33%, 50%-25%-25%, 50%-37.5%-12.5%) constituent briquettes were
produced with compaction pressures of 2.2 MPa, 4.4 MPa and 6.6 MPa. The fuel properties evaluated
are calorific value as well as density, relaxation and compaction ratios. Blending combinations of charcoal
from different raw materials showed an improvement in the calorific value. Among the multiple
constituent briquettes, 50% coconut shell–25% corn cob–25% sugarcane bagasse combination yielded
the highest calorific value at 19951.4 J/g which was comparable to coconut shell charcoal, having the
highest calorific value among all charcoal at 21693.3 J/g. The compaction pressure had a significant
effect only on the volume displacement of the briquettes due to more void space in the raw materials
that can be filled up upon the application of higher compaction pressure. The mixture ratio greatly
affected the stability and calorific value of the product briquettes
