Abstract

The adoption of biomass fuels in the heating systems in industries has risen owing to the rising need for alternative renewable energy sources. As a result of high energy density, easy manageability, low moisture levels, and better burning characteristics, densified biomass, including pellets and briquettes, is an excellent alternative to fossil fuels. This paper will provide a comprehensive review of the application of densified biomass in heating systems such as boilers, furnaces, kilns, and thermal power plants. All aspects of the densification process, fuel properties, combustion, environmental benefits, economic efficiency, and applications in industry are considered. The challenges of biomass densification and prospects of sustainable energy use in industries in the coming years are also examined.

Keywords: Biomass densification, Briquettes, Pellets, Heat generation systems, Industrial boilers, Renewable energy, Sustainable fuel.
