Abstract

Biomass charcoal briquettes are a sustainable, alternative energy source that can improve the livelihoods and resilience of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who have been resettled in Borno State. The use of biomass charcoal briquettes can provide a reliable and affordable source of energy, reduce dependence on traditional fuels such as firewood and charcoal, and promote economic empowerment through the production and sale of briquettes. This research paper will explore the potential of biomass charcoal briquettes as an alternative energy source for IDP communities in Borno State. The research instruments that were used were questionnaires and interviews. The researcher carried out a pre-test of the questionnaire before using it in the research.
