Renewable Fuel

Biomass Briquettes

Natural resources are Finite. Our Needs are not.


Fortunately, Nature replenishes enough. For those who are keen to be sustainable, We harness nature’s renewable resource

- Biomass - and We transform it into Sustainable Energy.

​

We make clean & efficient renewable fuel

like Biomass Briquettes, Biomass Pellets and Biomass Chips.

Functional Features

Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ fetch more value to you vis-à-vis other fossil and conventional fuels on many counts: 

  • Higher GCV : Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ fetch 4000±200 Kcal/kg which compares with ‘D’ & ‘E’ Grade Coal (3500-4500 Kcal/kg) and is significantly higher than Lignite (2000 - 3000 Kcal/Kg on as is basis) and Firewood (Avg. 3000 - 3500 Kcal/Kg on dry basis).

  • Higher Thermal Efficiency: Low moisture (≤10%) in Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ vis-à-vis other fuels (20-50%) renders higher thermal efficiency to it as a significant extent of latent heat used to off-set high mositure is saved.

  • Longer Combustion: High Density (800-900 Kg/m3) and consistency of Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ ensure longer burning time and uniform combustion vis-à-vis loose Biomass (50 – 200 Kg/m3) & Firewood (450 – 700 Kg/m3)

  • Non Polluting:  Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ contain very low Ash (≤ 9%) as compared to 25 – 46% in Coal thereby giving more combustibles per unit besides reduction in Fly Ash. Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ do not emit any Sulphur, Phosphorous or Nitrogen Oxide.

  • Optimum Sizing: Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ are optimally sized in 90 mm dia and 100 mm – 300 mm lengths making them suitable for versatile applications, easier handling, storage and transportation.

  • Chemical-Free Process: Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ are manufactured using proven 100% eco-friendly technology. We do not use any binders in our process. We stand committed to reduce, recycle and reuse precious natural resources.

  • Assured Supply through OTIF Delivery: Fuel price volatility takes a toll on your bottomline. More detrimental is its unpredictability and derth when needed most. Vikalp Ahead is backed by an intense network of biomass and hardwood supply chain across many states in India. With this strategic advantage, we assure our valued customers OTIF Delivery of Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ against long-term contracts.

  • Cost Effective: Even if the impact due to volatility in price and availability of conventional fuels is ignored, the inconsistency in size, density, CV, moisture & ash in such fuels effect your consumption and bottomline. Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ brings with it the assurance of OTIF delivery and consitent Quality. We enable you to plan your sourcing effectively and reduce your consumption. Thus, Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ fetch you more value for your money besides shielding your exposure to vagaries of fossil fuel market.

  • Eco-Friendly: We appreciate your concern for Environmentally Responsible Consumption through use of renewable fuels. Vikalp Ahead Group is mandated to foster sustainable economic growth by promoting renewable resources. Vikalp Bio-Briqsâ„¢ is a proven 100% natural product produced from matter rich in Solar energy stored in nature through photosynthesis.
