Abstract

Biomass gasification is a promising renewable energy technology for the production of synthetic gas (syngas), consisting of hydrogen (H₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH₄). This technology's primary challenge is tar formation – a heavy hydrocarbon compound that can block equipment, poison catalysts, and deteriorate syngas quality. Therefore, this study aimed to examine different tar reduction methods to support clean energy production through biomass gasification. To achieve this aim, two main approaches were adopted and the first was in-situ, focusing on modifying gasifier design and adjusting operational parameters. The second was ex-situ, which included catalytic reforming, thermal cracking, and plasma technology. The analysis also assessed different catalysts, such as biochar, and dolomite, as well as nickel- and iron-based materials, comparing their efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability. Several key factors influenced tar formation and reduction, namely feedstock type, operating temperature, air ratio, and reactor configuration. The result showed that combining in-situ and ex-situ technologies had substantial potential to significantly reduce tar, improve syngas quality, and optimize system performance. However, some challenges observed were reduced catalyst efficiency, high energy costs, and the need for more sustainable technologies. To improve the performance of gasification systems, this study provided information on catalyst development, operational parameter optimization, and plasma technology integration. Finally, the analysis provided a scientific basis and strategic recommendations to overcome tar problems and encourage the commercial use of biomass gasification towards a clean energy transition.

Abstract

Indonesia's natural resources, such as coffee hulls in Jember Regency, are potential sources of biomass raw materials that can be processed into biomass energy. Gasification is the process of converting solid fuels into combustible gases (CO, CH4, H2) through a heating process with minimal air conditions. This research focuses on the effect of air flow rate on the syngas productivity of coffee husk biomass gasification. It was found that higher air flow rate produces higher syngas content. The highest syngas composition with the highest LHV value was obtained by the 40 SCFH air flow rate variation with an LHV value of 141.7 kJ/mol.

Abstract

The increasing need for energy and dwindling natural reserves encourage the search for alternative energy sources. One alternative energy source is biodiesel. Biodiesel can be produced from used cooking oil through the esterification and transesterification processes. However, biodiesel sourced from plant materials has disadvantages, one of which is its low calorific value. Most studies discuss the addition of chemical additives to increase the calorific value of biodiesel. However, the addition of ethanol vapor as an air additive to increase the calorific value of biodiesel is rarely discussed. This study was conducted experimentally, the study examined the effect of adding ethanol vapor to a diesel engine through an air filter. The diesel fuel used was dexlite type diesel fuel added with biodiesel from used cooking oil as much as 10% to 30%. Testing used additional ethanol vapor channeled through an air filter with a heating temperature of 90oC to 100oC. The results of the study were in the form of crankshaft rotation, effective power, and fuel consumption. The results showed that fuel with the addition of ethanol vapor produced the highest crankshaft rotation, effective power, and fuel consumption when compared to without the addition of ethanol vapor in all variations of the given fuel composition. The highest value of crankshaft rotation, effective power is in the B0 composition with values ​​of 32.53 rev/s and 2.74 kW, respectively. While the lowest fuel consumption is in the B70 composition with the addition of ethanol vapor of 105.7 seconds.

Abstract

The Silo subdistrict is one of the coffee-producing villages, with a production amounting to more than 40% of the total coffee production in Jember Regency. The coffee processing produces coffee husk waste, which is often discarded into the environment and potentially causes pollution. Coffee husk waste has a high calorific value and is suitable for use as biomass fuel to produce syngas through gasification methods. The partner for this community service is GAPOKTAN Suka Maju, located in Pace Village, Silo Subdistrict, Jember Regency. GAPOKTAN Suka Maju is led by Mr. Zainal Arifin, who has 30 members. This community service aims to provide knowledge to GAPOKTAN Suka Maju members about the environmental impact of coffee husk waste disposal and the utilization of coffee husk waste as an energy source through gasification methods. The community service method consists of pre-activities, activity implementation, and evaluation. The pre-activities include designing the gasification equipment, making the gasification equipment, and drying the coffee husk waste. The implementation consists of socializing the environmental impact of coffee husk waste disposal, the energy potential of coffee husk waste, and training in gasification equipment. The results show a significant increase in the participants' understanding of the environmental impact of coffee husk waste disposal, the energy potential of coffee husk waste, and the gasification method and equipment to convert coffee husk waste into fuel.

Abstract

Used cooking oil is a waste product with great potential as a raw material for biodiesel production through transesterification. This study was conducted to determine the effect of transesterification reaction temperature on biodiesel yield and quality. The biodiesel production process includes a degumming step to remove gums by adding 1% H₃PO₄. This is then followed by transesterification using 1% NaOH as the catalyst, an oil-to-methanol ratio of 1:0.5, a stirring speed of 300 rpm, and a reaction time of 60 minutes. The transesterification reaction temperatures were 40°C, 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C. The results showed that the reaction temperature significantly affected the yield and physical quality of biodiesel. The highest yield was 85.85% at 40°C, while the lowest was 80.37% at 70°C. The maximum viscosity was observed at 60°C (6.0 cSt), and the minimum at 70°C (5.71 cSt). The highest density was 0.8620 g/mL at 50 °C, and the lowest was 0.8607 g/mL at 40 °C. The highest flash point was 40°C at 173.27°C, and the lowest was 70°C at 164.97°C. The results showed that the biodiesel produced met the quality standards of SNI 7182:2015, thus supporting its suitability as an alternative fuel derived from used cooking oil.
