  • Abstract:
  • Solid waste management poses a significant challenge on college campuses, where substantial amounts of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste are generated daily. Effective management of this waste is vital for maintaining a clean environment and fostering sustainability. At D.Y. Patil College of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune, green waste is particularly abundant, prompting the need for innovative solutions. One such approach is converting biodegradable waste, such as food scraps and yard clippings, into briquettes that serve as an efficient fuel source. This process utilizes natural binders like cow dung and molasses, which are cost-effective and environmentally friendly, improving the cohesion of green waste materials to form dense, high-quality briquettes. The method involves collecting and drying green waste, shredding it, blending it with binders, compressing it into briquettes, and drying the final product to enhance its durability and stability. This study examines the practicality and advantages of this process, focusing on improving waste management, advancing sustainability, and providing an affordable energy alternative. It also presents educational and research opportunities for students and contributes to energy security by offering a renewable energy source. Testing indicated that briquettes made with molasses exhibit higher calorific values, while those made with cow dung have a higher ash content. Biomass briquettes serve as a cleaner alternative to wood fuel, supporting better health outcomes, climate change mitigation, and economic benefits. This initiative aligns with sustainable development goals by providing renewable energy, managing waste efficiently, and promoting economic growth through job creation and enhanced rural livelihoods.
