This article describes the possibilities of using renewable energy fuel sources for the purpose of producing thermal energy. One of the options (alternatives) is to use sapropel (lake sediment biomass) not only as a fertilizer, feed additive, binder etc. but also as an energy fuel. One of the first steps to material extraction and preparation is fuel briquette (direct extraction of useful heat) production, technology and methodology. The article compares the author’s findings with analytical and experimental results obtained by other scientists.
