Abstract: Charcoal briquettes
is one type of eco friendly fuels that can be renewed. Briquettes can be made
by utilizing waste of biomass, including mahang wood sawdust waste and cacao
shells. Utilization of those wastes is to determine whether the wastes can be
utilized as biomass energy to reduce the negative impacts of waste from forest
products. This study aims to create and determine the characteristics of
briquettes from mahang wood sawdust waste and cacao shells. This research used
completely randomized design method which is consisted of three treatments and
three replications. The results showed that mahang wood sawdust and cacao
shells can be used as raw material for the manufacture of charcoal briquettes.
The average results obtained moisture content about 24, 89%-29.33%. The average
calorific value 4529.68 cal/gram-5064.32 cal/gram, treatment P2 and P3 have met
the criteria of SNI. The average power calculation is the fuel of 0.22
gram/minute-0.26 gram/minute
