Since Ethiopia relies on biomass resources for about 90% of its energy sources, problems such as deforestation and soil degradation have been intensified more than ever. To mitigate these problems, a possibility of using excess aquatic biomass such as water hyacinth as alternative energy is being investigated. In this study, fuel characteristics of biochar briquettes made from combination of water hyacinth biochars, different binders, and organic matter used in Ethiopia were evaluated. Water hyacinth was dried and pyrolyzed at 400 and 800°C (WHB400 and WHB800, respectively). Water hyacinth biochar was mixed with different binders (molasses and Ethiopian soil) at a ratio of [6:4:0] without organic matter, or at a ratio of [6:3:1] with organic matter ([water hyacinth biochar:binder:organic matter]). The experimental results showed that WHB400 with molasses as binder without organic matter [6:4:0] was the best mixing ratio as biochar briquette with the highest higher heating value and the greatest compressive strength among all other biochar briquettes. Therefore, this study showed water hyacinth biochar could be a great potential as an alternative fuel to conventional acacia charcoal.
