Societies at all phases of development rely on energy, thus it is impossible to imagine a future without it. Because energy is the fuel that drives society, the need for it is increasing every day. The sustainability of using biomass waste to produce briquettes is the focus of the proposed effort. This article addresses several densification techniques, including the roller press, screw press, hydraulic press, piston press, and so on, along with quality factors, such as moisture content, ash content, density, compressive strength, shatter index, etc. Physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics of the briquettes are discussed, along with the importance of binders, both organic and inorganic. Along with process variables including the cost of manufacturing briquettes, the availability of biomass, the cost of alternative fuels, the kind of binder used, and its influence on the choice of briquette production method, the characteristics of various biomass wastes are analyzed. The economic viability of briquette technology and the utility of briquettes in heating, cooking, and energy generation applications were the main foci of the current review. In general, this publication will assist novice researchers in comprehending the fundamental approach, categorization, constraints, and prospective future of briquetting technology in the biofuel manufacturing process.
