Abstract

Energy is the most human needs, the majority of people worldwide still use conventional fuel, but now it is depleted. To solve this energy problem, the transition to energy has started using renewable energies as energy sources. Biomass resources are plentiful in Indonesia, one of the example of biomass is bio-pellet. The objective of this research is collect information from previous study regarding bio-pellet production from oil palm waste, study about the influence of binder on bio-pellet characterization and select the best pretreatment process for bio-pellet production using mesocarp as raw material to achieve the Indonesian standard. The method that has been used in this research is literature review, analysed and evaluated it. The results shows that bio-pellet from palm waste can produced from empty fruit bunch, oil palm frond, oil palm shell, and oil palm mesocarp. The influence of the binder can have a positive or negative effect depending on the binder and raw material. The best pretreatment that can reduce ash content are acid pre-treatment that can reach ash content until 1.02% and leaching can reach ash content until 1.13%. For biopellets production from mesocarp can be use acid H2SO4 1%-5% as pretreatment and addition of tapioca as binders.
