What is a switchgrass briquette?
Briquetting is an extrusion process similar to pelletizing that produces a larger product. In the process, switchgrass biomass is ground and extruded under tremendous heat and pressure. The end product has the appearance of a large pellet with a density that is approximately four times that of the original biomass. While these briquettes will not burn in pellet appliances, they could be a suitable fuel for larger combustion units that heat commercial or industrial facilities. Please refer to our Biomass Densification page for more information.
