Over-dependency on traditional energy sources, particularly in African countries, significantly contributes to deforestation and carbon emissions. Agricultural waste presents a suitable alternative conventional through bio-briquettes; however, they are underutilized. This study evaluated bio-briquettes’ mechanical properties, including abrasion resistance, impact water penetration made from carbonized coconut husks using cassava peels, banana potato peels as binders. Briquettes bound with had the highest resistance of 96.55%, 96.43%, 95.26% for ratios 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, respectively. In comparison, peel-bound briquettes exhibited moderate increasing 87.71% at 60:40 ratio. contrast, peel binders lower maximum 76.72%. Abrasion followed same trend; peel, increased up 88.69% while performed least effectively; was 70.09% Water improved increase binder concentration, reaching 79.82% showed complete disintegration an 80:20 Overall, this indicates that agricultural functions efficient briquette production, supporting sustainable household use. renewable innovation, valorization, climate change mitigation by promoting alternatives biomass energy.
