If Jatropha oil is a non drying oil (like castor oil), you are in deep oil.
If Jatropha oil is a drying oil, you might try using a drying
accelerator for paint and/or place the briquettes in an oven.

Crispin and all,
I have seen Jatropha press-cake in two forms. A high pressure press
extruded cresant-shaped pieces that hung together, but were not
friendly for handling (would break, etc.)
"regular" pressure produced more like a crumbly meal that would cut
off any air passage.
A major problem is caused but the residual oil (which is why we have
such interest in it), The oil is a liquid lubricant that is not going
to dry out. So it is not good for forming pellets or briquettes. Nor
is it a good binder for other biomass.
