Abstract

Coal is an essential need of every industry and on small scale, it is a mass source of energy but it is a fossil fuel so the availability of coal decreases day by day, hence we need to produce coal which is further used for the same purpose. This research describes coal which is made from coconut shells. Coconut is a natural product so it’s not harming nature by producing toxic gases and ash. So, designing a small machine takes place which can convert coconut shells into useful coal is further used for burning purposes. In India, around 55% of energy is produced out of coal. The general types of coal used in industries are made up of fossil fuel, but the production of coal from fossil fuel is a very long process, so an adequate amount of coal is not easily available hence the cost of stone coal or conventional coal is high. Hence need to find some other options, where the designing of our mechanism takes place, to produce coal briquettes from coconut in a very compact/easy way. By doing some methods like burning, grinding (powder forming), molding, etc. This technology has greater potential and could be used in the future The briquette is used as an alternative energy source, especially as fuel in rural areas, and it supports reducing energy demand.
