Biomass Fuel Savings Calculator
Compare coal, furnace oil, or LNG against BBI white coal (biomass briquettes). Get your monthly savings, 5-year projection, cost per 1,000 Kcal, and CO₂ reduction — instantly.
Fuel advisor and landed cost calculator
Your current fuel
Your current fuel, per month. BBI minimum order is 25 MT.
Higher-grade coal gives more heat per kg, so you need more white coal to match it. Check your supplier's test report.
Published range for this product: ₹6–₹14/kg.
Delivered to your site, from your transporter or BBI quote. Leave empty to compare ex-factory.
Recommended for Steam boiler (grate-fired)
90mm Biomass Briquettes (White Coal) · GCV 3800–4200 Kcal/kg
Matching 50 MT/month of Indian Coal (GCV 4,000) takes about 50 MT/month of this product at equal boiler efficiency. Start with a 25 MT trial lot, run it on your own boiler, and compare the results before moving volume.
Enter your fuel price and your BBI quote (₹/kg) to see landed cost per million Kcal, monthly and 5-year savings. We do not assume prices for you.
How the savings are calculated
The calculator converts your current fuel consumption into an energy-equivalent quantity of white coal (biomass briquettes) using Gross Calorific Value (GCV) ratios. BBI white coal is referenced at 4,000 Kcal/kg (range 3800–4200) against typical Indian steam coal (≈4,000 Kcal/kg), furnace oil (≈9,500 Kcal/kg), and LNG (≈12,000 Kcal/kg). Your monthly saving is the difference between what you pay today and the cost of the equivalent white coal tonnage at bulk ex-factory pricing (₹6–₹14/kg from Kadi, Gujarat).
Fuel price is only part of the picture. Coal's GST rate is now 18% with the compensation cess removed (56th GST Council, September 2025), so check the GST treatment of any fuel you compare with your tax advisor. Ash also matters: Indian coal generally carries 25–45% ash (Ministry of Coal), so ash disposal and boiler cleaning are part of the real cost. A 25 MT trial order is the most reliable way to measure results in your own boiler.
