In many parts of Nigeria, women and girls bear the cost of fetching firewood, a traditional cooking method. The expensive traditional cooking method burns upto 90% wood than necessary. Hence, this study focused on briquette production using residues generated from Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) namely: Irvingia gabonenis husk Vitellaria paradoxa shell and Parkia biglobosa chaff, as suitable and sustainable source for clean cooking. The residue were sourced from Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria. Each material was oven dried (12% MC), grinded, sieved using 2 mm mesh and mixed thoroughly with cooked cassava starch at 10% and 15% binder level and the briquettes were replicated 5 times. The strength properties, energy value and cooking efficiency were carried out using American Standard Test Methods (ASTM). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at (p＜0.05). Results shows that briquette produced from V. paradoxa shell at 15% binder level had the highest density (655.37 g/cm3). Irvingia gabonensis husk briquette exibit highest shatter index at both binder level (96.72% and 96.99%). Likewise, I. gabonensis husk had the highest water resistance at 15% binder level (66.60%). Briquette with lowest ash content (3.40%) and highest calorific value (32.54 MJ/kg1) was found in V. paradoxa shell at 15% binder level. Highest Water Boiling Time of 32 mins was recorded for Parkia biglobosa chaff at 10% binder level. Fuel Burning Rate of I. gabonensis husk and V. paradoxa shell at 15% binder level were higher (0.004 kg/sec), Specific Fuel Consumption of V. paradoxa shell briquette (0.20 kg/L) was highest at 15% binder level. Among the three residues, briquettes produced from V. paradoxa shell at 15% binder level exhibited better performance and as environmentally friendly solution to waste management while offering a renewable energy source.
