“…In wood cells, bonds are caused by lignin. Therefore, materials that contain lignin may be easier to mould using a high pressure briquette machine, because lignin in this case acts as a binder (Ngusale et al 2014). A lignin content of 3-6% in vegetable waste produced stable briquettes with a calorific value of 10-14 MJ/kg (Srivastava et al 2014;Kaliyan and Vance Morey 2010).…”

“…For example, the mixture comprising 17% municipal waste composting char (MWCC), 66% sawdust and 17% slop waste was found to be optimal. The addition of slop waste as a binder increased the compressibility strength of the briquettes (Ngusale et al 2014;Prasityousil and Muenjina 2013;Emerhi 2011;Chou et al 2009b;Yaman et al 2000;Demirbaş 1999).…”

“…It is currently the dominant cooking fuel in low-income urban households in sub-Saharan Africa [44][45][46]. It is preferred over firewood due to its high energy density, lower emissions of particulate matter, and lower transport costs.…”
