Biomass briquettes, mostly made ofgreen waste and other organic materials, are commonly used for electricity generation, heat, and cooking fuel. These compressed compounds contain various organic materials, includingrice husk,bagasse, ground nut shells,municipal solid waste, agricultural waste. The composition of the briquettes varies by area due to the availability of raw materials. The raw materials are gathered and compressed into briquette in order to burn longer and make transportation of the goods easier. On the other hand, Response Surface Method (RSM) uses various statistical, graphical and mathematical techniques to develop, improve, or optimize process, also use for modelling and analysis of problem if the response variables in influenced by several independent variables. Based on RSM analysis, obtained results that the higher the density value and the calorific value of briquettes, the potential value of the energy produced is also increasing. The highest energy potential is produced by briquettes with a density value of 0.82 g/cm which is 7.71 MWh/m.
