Karnataka is one of India’s leading agricultural states, producing abundant biomass resources such as rice husk, ragi straw, jowar stalks, maize stalks, sugarcane bagasse, tobacco waste, coconut shells, and forestry residues. These biomass materials are ideal for manufacturing biomass briquettes (White Coal), a clean and renewable alternative to fossil fuels.
The state’s diverse industrial sectors use biomass briquettes for boilers, furnaces, and other thermal applications due to their high calorific value, lower emissions, and cost-effectiveness.
Jay Khodiyar Machine Tools has successfully installed 400+ biomass briquetting plants across Karnataka, including briquetting machines, biomass dryer systems, wood chippers, and sawdust machines. Our binderless briquetting technology produces high-density briquettes without using any chemical binders.
Biomass briquettes help industries convert agricultural and forestry waste into valuable renewable fuel, reducing waste, lowering fuel costs, and promoting sustainable energy solutions.
