Abstract
This study investigates the thermal performance of charcoal briquettes produced from three different biomass sources: Daniellia oliveri (Aduwa), Erythrophleum suaveolens) (Marke), and Piliostigma thonningii (Kalgo) with the aim of evaluating their suitability as sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. The briquettes were produced using a standardized carbonization process. Key performance metrics such as calorific value, burning time, ignition time, and thermal efficiency were evaluated. Results show that Marke briquettes exhibited the highest calorific value (18.5 MJ/kg), followed by Kalgo charcoal (15.8 MJ/kg) and Aduwa charcoal (15.3 MJ/kg). Oxygen index
