Biomass briquettes are a biofuel substitute to coal and charcoal. They are used to heat industrial boilers in order to produce electricity from steam. The most common use of the briquettes are in the developing world, where energy sources are not as widely available. There has been a move to the use of briquettes in the developed world through the use of cofiring, when the briquettes are combined with coal in order to create the heat supplied to the boiler.

    “La contribution de la République du Congo devrait permettre de réduire, dans un scénario bas-carbone conditionnel (dépendant de l’appui de la communauté internationale), les émissions de GES d’environ 48% en 2025 (soit 8 MteqCO2), et 54% en 2035 (soit 19 MteqCO2) par rapport au scénario tendanciel.” In a conditional, low-carbon scenario, the contribution of the Republic of Congo should reduce GHG emissions by about 48% in 2025 (or 8 MtCO2e) and by 54% in 2035 (or 19 MtCO2e) compared to the baseline scenario and depending on the support of the international community.
