<p>Biomass briquettes (BBs) are gaining tremendous attention as a renewable and cost-effective alternative to conventional fossil fuels, offering both environmental and economic advantages. This review explores the potential of briquettes derived from agricultural residues, industrial by-products, and forestry waste. Briquetting not only enhances the energy properties of raw biomass but also improves its handling characteristics by reducing moisture content, increasing density, and facilitating transportation and storage. Key factors influencing the quality of briquettes include the type of raw material used, the application of binding agents, and the method of production. These variables play a crucial role in determining combustion efficiency and structural integrity of the final product. To evaluate the performance and suitability of biomass briquettes for various uses, several parameters are considered—such as calorific value, ash and moisture content, bulk density, and combustion behaviour. Biomass briquettes have diverse applications, ranging from household cooking and space heating to industrial energy generation. Despite their promise, further innovation in production technology and broader policy support are essential to scale up their adoption. In regions rich in biomass resources, the development and utilization of briquettes can contribute meaningfully to sustainable energy goals and reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources.</p>
