dc.description.abstract | The development of fuel biobriket is one attempt to overcome the problem of the energy crisis, especially for household cooking needs. Currently, briquettes made from waste oil palm fronds are already being developed. Availability of abundant raw materials and process technology is growing, causing briquettes of the palm fronds to be cheaper compared to other biomass briquettes. One process that can be applied to obtain more economical results is through a non-carbonization process. The results of the study, using three types of specimens, has obtained the highest calorific value of 3,477.67 kCals/kg, the production cost of 830 IDR/kg and with a selling price that can be offered to consumers 1,300 IDR/kg. | en |
