Despite their status as non-renewable energy sources, fossil fuels are widely utilized across industries, resulting in substantialharmful emissions upon combustion. This poses severe environmental consequences and disrupts natural ecosystems. Totackle this challenge, our research focused on replacing fossil fuels with biomass briquettes derived from watermelon andmuskmelon waste blends in varying ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100). Utilizing a mixture of ceramic powder andcassava starch as binding agents, we aimed to improve the briquetting process. The briquettes underwent comprehensivetesting to evaluate proximate parameters like ash content and volatile matter, alongside ultimate parameters such as chemicalcomposition and calorific value. Advanced analyses including SEM/EDAX and TGA were employed to thoroughly assessthe briquettes. The findings suggest that these briquettes, being renewable, emit minimal pollutants, and produce reducedresidue, hold potential as a feasible alternative to traditional non-renewable energy sources.
