Abstract

Empty oil palm fruit bunches (EFB) are a significant solid waste produced by the palm oil industry in Pelalawan Regency. Generally, this waste is not optimally utilized and instead becomes an environmental burden. One innovative and sustainable solution is to process EFB into biochar, a biochar that can significantly improve soil quality. This community service activity aims to provide training to farmer groups and surrounding village communities on techniques for producing and utilizing biochar from EFB as an organic fertilizer to improve agricultural soil fertility. Implementation methods included outreach, a hands-on demonstration of a simple pyrolysis process, and practical application of biochar in a pilot field. The results of the activity demonstrated that participants understood the benefits and techniques of biochar production and were able to apply them independently. Furthermore, there was increased public awareness of waste management based on circular economy principles. It is hoped that this activity will stimulate local innovation in agricultural waste utilization and increase sustainable agricultural productivity in Pelalawan. The development of advanced training programs and mentoring for biochar businesses are among the main recommendations of this activity.
