The Renewable Energy Potential of Food Crop Wastes in Indonesia

One of Indonesia's great potential biomass energy sources is food crop waste. Five commodities with nine types waste were investigated in the study. This study aimed to determine physical, chemical, and thermal properties crops wastes their for utilization as an source. Furthermore, spatial map gross 34 provinces Indonesia depicted. The results research showed a moisture content samples range 10.31 wt.% (rice husk) 13.92 (peanut stem). containing low ash was corncob. volatile more than 60%, except rice husk straw. Cassava stem had highest fixed carbon 17.12%, while peanut shell calorific value 17260 kJ/kg. sulfur nitrogen below 1%. ranged from 31.03 42.03%, hydrogen between 5.29 6.54%. Rice has lowest hygroscopic nature corn cob opposite. amount reaches 115.73 million tons per year, (GEP) 1596.12 PJ/year. greatest GEP, followed by corn, cassava, peanut, soybean. GEP dominant Java.
