Tamil Nadu is one of India’s leading agricultural states with abundant biomass resources, including paddy straw, rice husk, groundnut shells, cotton stalks, sugarcane bagasse, maize stalks, turmeric waste, coconut shells, and coconut husk. These agricultural residues are ideal raw materials for producing biomass briquettes (White Coal).
The state’s textile, paper, food processing, ceramic, and power industries are increasingly adopting biomass briquettes as a clean, cost-effective alternative to coal. Biomass briquettes offer high calorific value, lower emissions, and efficient performance for boilers and industrial heating applications.
Jay Khodiyar Machine Tools has successfully installed 350+ briquetting machines across Tamil Nadu, helping industries convert biomass waste into renewable fuel using binderless briquetting technology. Our briquetting solutions support sustainable waste management, lower fuel costs, and promote clean energy.
