FIELD: ecologically effective utilization of resources and waste in various industries. SUBSTANCE: described is method which envisages improving the structure of fuel, increasing its power density and lowering the level of admixtures as applicable to low-grade coals and or carbon-containing waste such as solid domestic waste, fuel prepared from waste, or sewage by molding from low-grade fuel, carbon-containing waste or their mixtures of aqueous suspensions having viscosity that makes it possible to further process them.
