Charcoal briquettes offer multiple advantages over lumpy charcoal, such as high combustion value, longer burning time, cost-effectiveness, and easy transportation. The governments in developing countries, such as India, have taken initiatives to produce charcoal to offer livelihood to rural communities and women by making use of the abundant agricultural waste to produce charcoal briquettes and meet the market demand.
Charcoal briquettes burn slower with more heat output than other fuels and last longer, making them cost-effective and increasing their consumption.
Manufacturers of charcoal briquettes are increasing their production capacities to fulfil the demand for an efficient and cheap source of fuel.
