Abstract
This book chapter provides an overview of the use of natural starch from root and tubers and other plants as binders in fuel briquette manufacturing, focusing on the development of biocomposites for sustainable energy applications. This chapter discusses the properties of natural starch as a binder and its advantages over traditional binders, such as coal tar and petroleum-based binders. The use of natural starch as a binder in fuel briquette manufacturing improves the physical and combustion properties of briquettes and provides a sustainable alternative to traditional binders that have negative environmental impacts. This chapter also highlights the economic feasibility and availability of natural starch as a binder, making it an attractive option for fuel briquette manufacturers. Overall, this review emphasizes the potential of root and tuber-based natural starch as a binder in fuel briquette manufacturing for creating sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
