Turkey has a big potential for hazelnut residues, especially the husks that are not used for any purposes. It is estimated that 200.000 tons of husk residue are produced yearly after hazelnut harvesting. Biomass became very popular since it is an alternative energy source and provides employment facilities in rural areas. Briquetting is the most widely used waste compaction technology. A hydraulic type briquetting machine with a horizontal course was manufactured to convert this idle residue into biofuels. Some physical and mechanical properties of briquettes produced under different pressures with different particle sizes and different moisture contents were determined.
