Proximate Analysis of Alternatives Cooking Solides Fuels in Sub Saharan by Using Astm Standards

A number of persistent problems have been associated with the supply traditional domestic fuels in developing countries and particularly rural areas, including deforestation, scarcity fuel wood high cost fossil fuels. The use biomass derived from agricultural waste biomass, generally available large quantities, has advocated. This article, therefore, presents some bio-fuels or acceptability test phase West Africa Senegal but also their characteristics, compared to those charcoal. Samples were prepared analyzed for moisture content, ash volatiles mater, fixed carbon calorific value. results indicate that charcoal bio-charcoal (not mixed clay) best value, while pellets typha briquettes volatile matter carbon. are satisfactory against clay as a binder detrimental performance. These suggest used an energy source purposes; is changed others; pelletizing briquetting transformations expanded other residues such rice husks, peanut shells.
