Description
Summary:Turkey’s energy status mainly depends on imported resources such as oil and natural gas. Such imported resources create extra load on the country’s economy and cause an important problem on its development. Despite being a poor country in terms of fossil fuel, Turkey has rich renewable energy sources. In this study, hazelnut husks were used as an agricultural residue after harvesting to obtain fuel briquette. The materials were firstly dried up to 13 – 15 % moisture content and grinded into 10 mm size, and then they were pressed under 80 MPa pressure in order to form briquettes. Heating values of hazelnut husk briquette was found to be 4232 cal g -1. Ash content was 10.65 %, while tumbler index, shatter index and water resistance were 75.82 %, 95.82 % and 91.52%, respectively.
