dc.description.abstractBriquettes play significant roles in the production of eco-friendly fuels, and as substitutes for non-renewable sources of energy. But the selection of the right materials is essential for good briquette production. The selection of agro-wastes for domestic and industrial purposes depends on the proximate and ultimate compositions. This study assessed the physico-chemical properties of millet chaff briquettes. The physico-chemical characteristics of the briquettes were determined using standard methods. The results of the elemental analysis of the millet chaff biomass were 44.24 % carbon, 5.66 % hydrogen, 1.76 % nitrogen and oxygen 38.23 %.This study shows that the millet chaff can be densified into briquettes to be used as solid fuelen_US
