At WICCARE Africa Ltd, we are redefining how communities cook, heat, and live. Our biomass briquettes are a sustainable fuel alternative made from agricultural residues such as sugarcane bagasse. They are affordable, eco-friendly, and designed to meet the needs of both rural households and institutional users.
Briquettes are compressed blocks of biomass used as an efficient and eco-friendly fuel source. Made from materials such as agricultural residues and wood waste, briquettes are sustainable alternative to traditional fuel sources. Their high energy density and slow-burning characteristics make them ideal for heating, drying, institutional cooking, and industrial energy applications.
| Biomass Briquettes | Firewood | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Agricultural waste (renewable) | Harvested wood (deforestation risk) |
| Calorific Value | 15–18 MJ/kg | 12–16 MJ/kg (less efficient burn) |
| Smoke Emissions | Low smoke, cleaner indoor air | High smoke, contributes to indoor pollution |
| Burn Time | Longer and steady | Shorter, needs frequent refueling |
| Handling & Storage | Clean, compact, odorless | Bulky, may attract pests, produces debris |
| Health Impact | Reduces risk of respiratory illnesses | High risk of smoke-related diseases |
| Cost Efficiency | Lower cost per cooking session | Often free, but less efficient overall |
| Environmental Impact | Supports circular economy, reduces emissions | Drives deforestation & carbon release |
Ideal for institutions and bulk use
Tailored for distributors or special projects
