The concern with the world's current energy matrix has led many countries to seek more sustainable ways of producing energy, one of these ways is using biomass from urban and agricultural waste. Through briquetting, there is a way to transform waste, which would not be reused or disposed of properly into briquettes which is a solid and compacted biofuel. In this research, briquettes were made in the laboratory using mixtures of Pinus sp. and sugar cane bagasse. With a total of seven treatments, T1(100% Bagasse), T2(25% Pinus + 75% Bagasse), T3(75% Pinus + 25% Bagasse), T4(100% Pinus), while "T5", "T6" and "T7" were made with a proportion of 50% Pinus and 50% Bagasse, all treatments have a particle size of 10 mesh. The objective of the present project was to analyze the mechanical strength of the mixtures. The briquettes were produced with a manual briquetting machine with a pressure of 15 tons. T5 is the mixture with the fastest burning due to its high volatile content and low fixed carbon content, while T2 has the highest fixed carbon treatment. T1 (pure bagasse) was seen as the briquette with the highest moisture content rate, while half bagasse half pine sp. had the lowest moisture content, although pine-based briquettes grow and resist impact more than bagasse-based ones. However, the PCS rate was higher in T4 (100% Pinus sp.). It was concluded that pine, is a good material to produce briquettes, after all, its characteristics as high PCS and small ash content is important to generate energy.
