It is particularly important to develop biomass briquette as alternative solid fuel for the decline of natural coal reserves. This paper focused on analysis of preliminary characteristics of briquette charcoal made from bamboo processing residues. We conducted proximate analysis including content of volatiles, fixed carbon, moisture and ash respectively; determined its density, durability and combustion characteristics. Those results will provide significantly technical parameters for utilization of bamboo waste and biomass resources as solid fuel.
