The cement industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. To minimize the adverse effects on the environment and improve the cement quality, some pozzolans are added as a partial replacement of cement to manufacture Pozzolana Portland Cement (PPC). Fly ash (FA) is widely used as pozzolan; it is also known as Fly ash Cement (FAC). FA is the byproduct of Coal combustion. This is quite expensive due to limited availability and a reduction in the use of non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal. Biomass briquettes (BB) are a renewable bio-fuel. Nowadays these are widely used as a substitute for coal. BB is manufactured from agro-industrial waste for commercial and industrial use. This industrial practice is quite new in India. Thus, the use of Biomass Briquette Ash (BBA) as pozzolan is un-attempted. Though there are various studies on Biomass Ash (BA), some have shown a promising result to use as pozzolan for cement, as it contains a high percentage of silica and alumina. Thus, this review thesis intends to find the prospective of BBA, used as a pozzolana for Biomass Briquette Ash Blended Cement (BBAC), as an alternative to FA from the existing body of knowledge on similar biomass ash.
