“Biomass” is one of those terms like “alternative energy”: itcouldbe a sustainable approach to energy generation, but isn’t always. I once sat through a talk by an energy services company executive in which he argued that forest biomass (think trees, undergrowth, etc., cut for burning) was carbon-neutral because “the plants could grow back.” Seriously.
On the other hand, though, an awful lot of waste – from shredded paper to sawdust to greasy pizza boxes – could be used to generate heat. As we move into the winter months, and you start to consider the prices of heating oil, natural gas, and/or electricity, you may want to start taking a look at some of the waste that goes into the trash can… there are BTUs in much of it that could be harvested cheaply without creating much pollution.
想开始利用这些废物吗?看看这些利用废弃生物质为家庭取暖,甚至做饭的想法。Most of these plans below were created for the developing world, where the harvesting of wood for cooking or for making charcoal (an income source for many impoverished people) has led todeforestation,erosion,最终导致肥沃土地完全退化。虽然你可能不会面临短期燃料需求和长期土地使用之间的可怕选择,但这些想法可以为你节省一些钱,并使有用的生物质远离垃圾填埋场……仍然是一个双赢。
Biomass Briquette Presses
Sure, you can buy a briquette press, but if you’ve got even the slightest handy streak (or, as you’ll see, none at all), you can put together your own press.
The Full-Sized Briquette Press
This was developed by theLegacy Foundation, andthey sell plans for it(and, no, that’s not an affiliate link).
The Micro Press
Lee Hite shares instructions atInstructables,他还制作了一段详细的视频(如下所示),用来制作一个小型的典型型煤压力机。2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率
The Caulk Gun Briquette Press
This video is a bit lower quality than some of the others, but the idea is pretty simple: use a caulk gun as a press for small biomass briquettes
A Rocket Stove Specifically For Biomass Briquettes
As we pointed out in an earlier post, therocket stove是为了给发展中国家的人们提供一种更清洁、更省油的烹饪方式。现在,把它和生物质蜂窝煤结合起来,你就有了一个对森林和野生动物非常友好的户外烹饪选择。Dubbed theHoley Roket, you can findtext and photo instructions在项目的2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率网站上建立一个,或跟随下面的视频。
Rok’sYouTube channelhas a couple of alternatives for building the stove, as well as a video on cooking with it.
The Paper Log
Finally, if you like something a bit more like the traditional fire log (or the manufactured fire log that’s a lot like the typical manufactured charcoal briquette),this project at Instructablesshows you how to make one from old newspaper. Essentially, it’s a longer version of the briquettes from the first page… but no press required!
Know of other creative ways to turn waste biomass into fuel? Share them with us… I’d love to update this post with even more ideas.

Canada has made hemp legal to grow. Can be made into light weight insulating cement blocks, wall boards, even baled tightly for “Straw Bale” types construction, yields oil, food from seeds, University of Alberta produced an effective cheap light weight renewable car body, Even the fields in which it grows benefit – the nearest market, the u.S.A. refuses it??? We will certainly produce paper, cloth, even astout denim from hemp and our marketplace will be the rising Pan Eurasian Empire, as we grow away from a restricted and failing America and towards lucrative payments on solid nondepreciating and unmanipulated(since 2008) yuan even for our Soft Wood lumber, coal, Tar Sands Oil and liquefied natural gas. We must survive, even if America feels it is rich enough to refuse us our market share there, we have to go to the pan Eurasian Empire and its immense marketplace.

有趣的回收项目,似乎是一个普通家庭不会做的努力。现在,如果有人把这变成一个小生意,他们可以把回收的废料变成生物质捆出售,这可能是一个廉价的绿色产品。

If you were going to turn this into a commercial business it would be better to buy an off the shelf briquette machine. Something like what Weima offers for instance. With a hopper and auto feed system. Then it’s just a matter of routine maintenance and keeping the hopper loaded.

All the wastage is harming the environment and that is only harming the environment adversely and due to these it has become an alternative source to generate energy.

现在我已经从上到下搜索了关于蜂窝煤的网站。
There seems to be two solutions :-
1. Cheap screw extruded that forces the mix through a heated die, creating a carbonized briquette, but require far too much electricy!.
2. Hydraulic compaction using forces nearly 3000 PSI to literally blast apart the cell walls and release the lignin ensuring a solidly compacted product.
Option two is always going to produce a better result, but the expensive machines such as Weima need a cheaper tractor PTO powered alternative suitable for developing countries and small scale farm use, not companies producing thousands of tonnes a day.
Please would someone design one for the world, instead of these tin pot wooden things touted to save the world, when in reality even the most deprived of countries have tractors and basic metal working abilities!.

To produce a Briquette various raw materials are been used which might be spreading pollution and affecting environment, So with the help of Briquette wastage can be transformed.

Biomass briquettes are made from bio waste materials with eco friendly technologybiomass briquette pressthat is highly demandable in the market.
