Briquetting is a sustainable method for producing charcoal. As part of the briquetting process, a prototype of a Used Oil Fueled Carbonizer/Dryer was developed to produce charcoal and address environmental concerns such as forest deforestation and the volume reduction of agricultural waste. The Used Oil Fueled Carbonizer /Dryer turned raw material into a useful carbon product by operating at high temperatures while eliminating moisture. This emphasized the carbonizer/dryer’s dual functionality, energy efficiency, and environmental advantages, which make it a flexible and sustainable option for producing renewable energy from agricultural waste. Data were acquired through the testing of the constructed used oil-fueled carbonizer/dryer production time, production rate, and efficiency. The used oil-fueled carbonizer/dryer is a sustainable energy management tool that reduces waste, offers an alternative fuel source, promotes recycling, reduces water contamination, and enhances drying efficiency, aligning with sustainable development goals and promoting recycling.
