Analysis of Alternative Fuel Briquettes and Pellets Made From Biomass (in the Case of Uzbekistan)

Abstract

This article discusses the general concepts of fuel briquettes and pellets made from biomass, highlighting their potential, raw materials, and composition. It emphasizes the increasing demand for energy sources in Uzbekistan, particularly in remote areas during cold winters. The study explores how biomass energy, a renewable resource derived from organic waste, can serve as a sustainable alternative to traditional fuels. The production of fuel briquettes and pellets from biomass is considered an effective solution to meet rural energy needs, reduce deforestation, and contribute to energy security and environmental protection. The paper also covers the types of pellets based on their raw materials and the environmental benefits of expanding biomass fuel production. The implementation of biomass-based alternative fuels is seen as a promising direction for Uzbekistan's energy sector.
