Energy is a vital input for development and an essential ingredient for the survival of mankind. the different sources of biomass like palm oil waste, agricultural waste, cow dung, sewage waste and landfill sites, which can be used to produce biogas and as a source of energy. the corporation of chennai is collecting an estimated quantity of 4500mt of municipal solid waste which is presently disposed as open landfill at two sites viz. kodungaiyur and perungudi. since storage and disposal of municipal solid wastes has becoming major problem, this project will provide solution by producing briquettes with raw material as municipal solid waste and binder as cow dung. the municipal solid waste is collected and segregated to remove the non biodegradable materials. then the segregated waste is dried in the sunlight for two weeks in order to dry completely. the dried municipal solid wastes are grinded to fine powders and mixed with cow dung (binder) at various proportions. the samples of various proportions are briquetted by using briquetting machine fabricated by us. our simple briquetting machine consists of cylinder, piston and handle. all the linkages are mechanical and without any use of electrical energy. the required force to make the briquette is provided manually. the briquetting setup is simple to operate and easy to port. the produced briquettes are heated in the oven at 105 deg. celsius for about one hour. the produced briquettes are analyzed on various characteristics such as % volatile matter, % moisture content, % ash content, fixed carbon and calorific value in order to check its performance and efficiency. additionally water boiling test has been done on the briquette to strongly suggest it for domestic cooking. the expected outcome of this research work is i) green fuel, ii) home briquette extruder iii) eco-friendly stove. green fuel can be used as a replacement for any bio fuel. home briquette extruder compact and stylish design which can be easily marketed in the market for producing briquettes in home itself. it may also lead to self-employment. the setup is designed ergonomically for ease use. eco-friendly stove semi automatic and sensor controlled stove which can replace the existing briquette stoves through its advantages.
