The article presents the date from the specialized literature relating on the opportunity to develop the production of bio briquettes in the rural areas using local raw materials, especially agricultural residues. The aim of the current research was to identify the environmental impact, rural sustainability and food security generated from the biofuel production from agricultural residues. Based on the analyzed data, have been set the objectives for more in-depth research into ways to improve the quality of bio briquettes that are produced from indigenous raw material, as well as the formulation of the necessary assumptions for experimental research confirmation.
