INTRODUCTION
Traditional charcoal has been a long staple for Filipino cuisine as a
cooking fuel due to its affordability and accesibility. Over the centuries,
charcoal has been used in a wide and ever growing range of applications,
water purification (Antal and Grønli, 2003; Smith, 2017). Poverty has also
as their medium for cooking foods because of other forms of fuel such as LPG
(Liquified Petroleum Gas) which are known to be costly and expensive for
consuming wood, prompting deforestation and natural habitat loss that adds
evidence exists that forests have been degraded and cleared for charcoal
charcoal production systems and the imminent need for alternative fuels.
climate change by emitting harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases into the
burning system can present serious well-being dangers to the people and
that make them superior to lumps: they are easier to store and handle,
maintain a steady temperature for a longer period of time, and have a lower
has the potential to worsen soil degradation and erosion, further harming the
and more proficient cooking innovations, for example, clean cookstoves and
from repurposing bio waste material from fruit scatters. Included in this is the
opportunity to explore the true place and potential for charcoal briquettes in
the region, and to develop the policy environment necessary for the industry
to prosper. In response to the energy crises, some SSA countries have been
(BEST) (Owen et al., 2013). According to Jelonek et. al. (2020), Although
charcoal briquettes and lumps are a common fuel option for grilling,
and lumps translates not only into the quality of the grilled meal but, more
importantly, how their emissions affect human safety and the environment
lead to increased net calorific value per unit volume, reduces transportation
cost, improves bulk density and also improves handling characteristics. In the
present paper an attempt has been made to study the scenario of renewable
content, ash content, volatile matter and carbon content of biomass briquettes

maximize farmers' profits and aid in energy saving initiatives. The study of
Denisha et. al. (2019), shows that the briquettes' characteristics during

Research nowadays is paying particular attention to low-cost or
