Abstrak


The demand for renewable energy continues to increase due to the need for more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. Coconut shell biomass briquettes represent a promising alternative because of their high calorific value and abundant availability. This study investigated the effect of blending coconut shell char with leaf litter and different binder types on briquette performance. Briquettes were produced through carbonization at 400°C, grinding to 60 mesh, blending at ratios of 0:10, 1:9, and 2:8 (w/w) with five binders, and evaluated according to SNI 01-6235-2000. Results showed that cooking oil binder produced the lowest moisture content (0.60±0.09%), the highest fixed carbon (75.78±1.32%), and a calorific value exceeding 7000 cal/g. In contrast, leaf litter addition increased volatile matter and reduced fixed carbon and calorific value. Therefore, binder selection plays a crucial role in enhancing briquette quality, while leaf litter blending is not recommended.
