Potensi Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit dan Bagas Sorgum Manis Sebagai Bahan Baku Energi Terbarukan
Abstract
increasing demand for fossil fuels which is not balanced with the availability. Biogas is a renewable source
of energy that can be produced from waste utilization agricultural and plantation products, such as empty
fruit bunches of oil palm and sweet sorghum bagasse. This study aims to assess the potential of oil palm
empty fruit bunches and sweet sorghum bagasse as raw material source of biogas, biogas terms of the
acquisition and the time to achieve maximum volume. The results showed that sweet sorghum bagasse
has an advantage in the acquisition of biogas and time to achieve maximum volume, while oil palm empty
fruit bunches have advantages in terms of availability on the pitch, concurrently with increasing the
production of crude palm oil in Indonesia. The conclusion from this study is that both oil palm bunches and
sweet sorghum bagasse has potential as a raw material source of renewable energy, namely biogas but
sweet sorghum bagasse has their advantages in terms of acquisition of biogas and the time to achieve
maximum volume.
Keywords: biogas, palm oil empty bunches, renewable energy, sweet sorghum bagasse
