Analysis on Straw Stem Briquette Technology and Its Application Extension in North Rural Areas of China

This paper presented the necessary of the biomass briquette technologies in the north rural areas of China. The biomass briquette technology can be used as a pretreatment technology for the other high-efficient using straw technology, especially for the direct combustion technology. Biomass briquette has obvious advantages such as good combustion characteristics, convenience of storage and transportation. So the biomass briquette technology has broad prospects for development in north rural areas of China. The biomass briquette machine technology has gained much progress. The biomass briquette technologies are getting mature and can be promoted for engineering application in near future. And the further research is needed to reduce energy consumption and increase production rates.
