Biomass Briquettes
What the source says
Corn starch, obtained from crushed maize from the animal feed production industry, is added to the mixture as a binder and helps to shape the briquettes. Other ingredients include charcoal ash and clay. The ingredients are crushed to a fine powder so that when compressed, they leave little to no airspace. This densifies the briquette and the tightly packed particles mean they burn longer.
