Abstract

Malaysia has been blessed with so many natural resources such as forestry and agriculture. Hence, with all the option of feedstock, biomass energy is practical being performed. The main objective of this project are to utilize biomass (banana peel residue) waste as a solid biofuel in a briquette form, identify the effect on carbonization temperature to calorific value of briquette and characterize the briquette in term of fixed carbon, moisture content, ash content and volatile matter. Tanduk banana peel residue (Musa paradisiaca fa. corniculata) is chosen as a subject due to its availability, carbon neutrality and vitamins. To perform Tanduk banana peel residue into briquette needs to done carbonization process in three differences temperature affect there are 270, 370 and 470°C before go to compaction process. C470 briquette performs a good quality in term of calorific value compare to others.
