Abstract

Tibarau sugar cane is a renewable energy plant that has the potential to be processed into solid fuel in the form of briquettes. The development of tibarau briquettes is an effort to find alternative fuels to overcome the lack of fuel energy. By diversification the potential sources of energy derived from biomass can improve and national capacity in an effort to implement government programs. The development of biomass energy into briquette fuel is needed in order to produce it. The ability to obtain tibarau sugarcane briquette fuel which has a heat value quality can be done by carbonization process. The method of making briquettes is done by mixing tibarau bagasse raw material with adhesive. The percentage composition content is 80%: 20%. Through the tibarau briquette product development process after being treated with carbonization technology in the furnace at a certain temperature so that an increase in heating value occurs. The produced briquettes are declared as tibarau sugarcane charcoal briquettes. From this study showed the effect of carbonization treatment on increasing the calorific value of tibarau briquettes into charcoal briquettes. The characteristics of the heat value of charcoal briquettes are influenced by the carbonization temperature given. This study has an impact on the development of tibarau briquettes which are recommended as alternative fuels. The use of tibarau sugar cane into charcoal briquettes is an effort in developing renewable energy to achieve national energy security.
