Pembuatan bio-briket dari produk pirolisis biochar cangkang kelapa sawit sebagai sumber energi alternatif

Fossil fuel sources are non-renewable energy and someday will experience scarcity due to the increasing population; it is necessary look for alternative fuels. Several renewable energies that can replace fossil fuels water, solar energy, wind, thermal biomass energy. One from plantations oil palm plantation waste. Riau Province Indonesia's largest producer, with a total land area of ​​2.89 million until 2021. The results harvesting coconuts produce waste, i.e., shells. Oil shells be treated pyrolysis technology. In process, three products produced: liquid, solid (biochar), (bio-oil). this study, product shell waste in form biochar was used as raw material bio-briquettes. Producing bio-briquettes resulted pulverized pyrolysis, mixed tapioca flour adhesive percentage 4% 8%. Then, mixture put mold compressed. were tested water content, ash volatile matter calorific value. test compared Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 8021 2014. research on bio briquettes showed best at reactant content 4.45% 5.1% 40.40%, value 5,999.93 cal/gram.
