Gujarat is one of India’s leading industrial and agricultural states, generating abundant biomass resources such as groundnut shells, castor stalks, cotton stalks, sawdust, wood chips, and other agro-forestry residues. These biomass materials are ideal for producing biomass briquettes (White Coal), offering a clean and renewable alternative to coal.
The state’s ceramic, textile, chemical, paper, food processing, and other manufacturing industries have a growing demand for high-quality, cost-effective industrial fuel. Biomass briquettes provide high calorific value, lower emissions, and improved combustion efficiency, making them an excellent fuel for boilers, furnaces, and thermal applications.
Jay Khodiyar Machine Tools has successfully installed 700+ briquetting machines across Gujarat, including briquettes plant, biomass dryer systems, wood chippers, and hammer mills. Our binderless briquetting press technology converts agricultural and forestry waste into high-density fuel briquettes without using chemical binders, ensuring sustainable and efficient biomass utilization.
