INTRODUCTION :<br />

• Indonesia has abundant supply of biomass. Some<br />

portions become waste after <strong>its</strong> utilization, e.g. rice<br />

husk, rice straw, coconut fiber, coconut shell, palm<br />

oil shell, palm oil fiber, bagasse, , wood chip, saw<br />

dust, etc.<br />

• <strong>The</strong>se wastes can be used later on, either as natural<br />

fertilizer, or as h<strong>and</strong>icrafts or building materials, or<br />

as clean <strong>and</strong> renewable fuels.<br />

• It is briquetted to improve the energy density, to<br />

increase the heat capacity (the capability to retain<br />

heat for a longer period <strong>and</strong> maintain higher<br />

temperatures to facilitate easy ignition of fresh fuel<br />

charges), to reduce the amount of flying ash<br />

(because more ash is bound within <strong>its</strong> char), <strong>and</strong> to<br />

make h<strong>and</strong>ling, storage & transportation easier.
