Abstrak. Penanggulangan limbah organik baik limbah domestik maupun limbah industri menjadi suatu hal yang sangat penting untuk dikembangkan karena jumlah limbah atau sampah organik  sejalan dengan pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk di Indonesia. Salah satu limbah organik yang banyak dihasilkan dari produksi makanan adalah kulit talas Bogor. Limbah kulit talas ini kami konversi menjadi bioetanol dengan metode fermentasi menggunakan ragi tape yang mengandung saccharomyces cereviceae dengan variasi lama fermentasi 4,6,8,10 dan 12 hari. Hasil fermentasi kemudian dipisahkan dengan metode destilasi dan didapatkan berat jenis destilat 0,8483 gr/mL. Dari penelitian ini didapatkan destilat bioetanol sebanyak 79 mL dengan yield 14,68%. Dengan demikian limbah kulit talas memiliki potensi untuk konversi biomassa menjadi bioetanol yang merupakan salah satu bahan bakar alternative yang ramah lingkungan. Kata kunci: limbah kulit talas Bogor, fermentasi, bioetanol Abstract.[ Utilization of Bogor Taro Skin Waste (Colocasia Esculenta) As an Alternative Energy Source of Bioethanols] The handling of organic waste both domestic waste and industrial waste is a very important thing to be developed because the amount of waste or organic waste is in line with the growth of the population in Indonesia. One of the many organic wastes produced from food production is Bogor taro skin. We convert taro skin waste into bioethanol by fermentation method using yeast tape containing saccharomyces cereviceae with long fermentation variations 4,6,8,10 and 12 days. The results of fermentation were then separated by a distillation method and obtained by the specific gravity of distillate 0.8483 gr / mL. From this study, 79 mL bioethanol distillate was obtained with a yield of 14.68%. Thus taro skin waste has the potential to convert biomass into bioethanol which is one of the alternative fuels that is environmentally friendly. Keywords: Bogor taro skin waste, fermentation, bioethanol

<p class="Default"><em>One of the abundant energy source in Indonesia is organic waste in the form of leafs and branches which is widely avalilable in homeyard. It can be utilized as alternative energy source by gasification process. The objective of the study was to know the influence of raw material and AFR to the characteristic of organic waste gasification process. The raw material used were leafs and branches of melinjo (gnetum gnemon) which obtained from homeyard of inhabitant in Sidomoyo village, Godean sub-district, Sleman Regency, Indonesia. Before being gasified, it was prepared for proximate analysis in laboratorium. The gasification begins by feeding the raw material to the reactor with variation of 100% leaf, 100% branch, and 50%-50% leaf and branch. The gasification process was occured in reactor for one hour, and syn gas which produced has been analized to know the composition of it. Result shows that raw material have influenced the characteristic of gasification process. The highest heating rate was occured for gasification process of 100% leaf and AFR 0.5, which it gas has burned after 25 minuted process in oxidation temperature of 650 <sup>0</sup>C, reduction temperature of 350 <sup>0</sup>C, and pyrolysis temperature of 240 <sup>0</sup>C.</em></p>

<p><strong>Aims</strong><strong>:</strong> This study aimed to increase the utilization of biomass-derived from the waste of coconut and peanut shells by making them as briquettes, as an alternative to fuel. The scarcity of petroleum because of its increasingly limited existence encourages all parties to take part in the development and discovery of new alternative energies. This is expected to overcome one of the most important of the many problems facing this country. The method used in this research is to start with a literature study of materials from various sources about the benefits and manufacturing of briquettes from biomass waste as an alternative energy source to be further tested for quality.  This involves a heat test, water content test, ash content test and determination of the flying matter. <strong>Results</strong><strong>:</strong> The test results showed that natural gas emissions were below threshold, namely 0-30 ppm CO, 0-3.6 ppm H<sub>2</sub>S, and undetectable NO<sub>x</sub>. After evaluation, the results showed that with the addition of 30% of the biomass, the ignition time was reduced and the remaining unburned briquettes or bottom ash was reduced by 68.68%. <strong>Conclusion, significance, and impact of study:</strong><strong> </strong>The results help the community and the parties involved related to appropriate bio briquettes technology. It also eventually becomes one of the solutions to assist the government in solving problems related to alternative fuels to petroleum.</p>

Biogas technology is an important alternative energy source worldwide. Blackwater and kitchen refuse represent ideal waste streams for bioenergy recovery through anaerobic co-digestion. Modeling of the biokinetics of anaerobic digestion on several aspects, such as microbial activity, substrate degradation, and methane production, from co-digestion of black water (BW) and kitchen refuse (KR) was the objective of this research. A mathematical model was developed towards a simulation based on mass balances on biomass, the organic substrate, and biogas. The model was implemented in INSEL and experimental data from the literature were used for model validation. The study shows that the simulation results fit well with the experimental data. The energy consumption and generation potential of anaerobic co-digestion of BW and KR were calculated to investigate if the produced biogas could supply the digester’s energy demand. This study can be used to pre-design anaerobic digestion systems in eco-districts.
