Abstract
Solid waste management is a significant challenge on college campuses, where large amounts of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste are produced daily. Effective waste management is essential for maintaining a clean environment and promoting sustainability. At the D.Y. Patil College of Engineering Akurdi, Pune, green waste is prevalent, necessitating innovative solutions. One effective approach is the production of briquettes from biodegradable waste, transforming materials like food scraps and yard clippings into valuable fuel. Utilizing natural binders such as cow dung and molasses, this process is cost-effective and eco-friendly, enhancing the cohesion of the green waste materials to produce dense, efficient briquettes. The process involves collecting and drying green waste, shredding it, mixing it with binders, and compressing it into briquettes. These briquettes are then dried again to ensure durability and stability. The study explores the feasibility and benefits of this method, aiming to improve waste management, promote sustainability, and provide a cost-effective energy solution. Additionally, it offers educational and research opportunities for students and promotes energy security by providing an alternative energy source. Testing revealed that molasses-based briquettes have higher calorific values, while cow dung briquettes have higher ash content. Biomass briquettes offer a clean alternative to wood fuel, contributing to health improvement, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits. This method aligns with sustainable development goals, providing renewable energy, managing waste effectively, and promoting economic growth through job creation and improved rural livelihoods.
