Abstract: ABSTRACT This project focuses on the development of semi-automated eco-friendly briquettes using dry leaves as the main raw material and starch as a natural binder. Conventional fuel sources like coal and wood contribute to pollution and deforestation, whereas this method aims to create a renewable and sustainable alternative. The process involves drying leaves for different durations, grinding them into fine powder, and mixing them with starch paste to form a uniform mixture. The prepared mixture was compressed under a pressure of 2 tons using a hydraulic press to form solid briquette blocks. After compression, the briquettes improve their burning efficiency and strength. The samples are tested for moisture content, calorific value, ash content, and compressive strength to evaluate performance. This approach offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and reusable fuel source suitable for domestic and small-scale industrial applications, contributing to sustainable energy development and waste management.
