Abstract

Biodiesel obtained from vegetable oils and animal fats, is a more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Biodiesel production through esterification and transesterification processes with an emphasis on the role of catalysts in increasing efficiency. The use of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each. Homogeneous catalysts, such as NaOH and KOH, are effective in increasing the reaction, but face challenges in product separation and soap formation that can reduce biodiesel yields. In contrast, heterogeneous catalysts such as CaO and zeolites offer advantages in terms of reuse and waste reduction, although with slightly lower efficiency. In addition, important factors such as catalyst concentration, alcohol to oil ratio, and reaction temperature are also reviewed to maximize biodiesel yields. Optimal catalyst concentration is essential to increase conversion efficiency, as inappropriate concentrations can slow down the reaction. The importance of choosing the right catalyst and process conditions in producing biodiesel efficiently, while considering the environmental impact of using raw materials, especially palm oilContribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 6: Clean Water and SanitationSDG 11: Sustainable Cities and CommunitiesSDG 13: Climate ActionSDG 15: Life on Land

Abstract

The reduction of petroleum reserves is a severe problem faced by many countries. With the help of the rapid development of science and technology, vegetable oil can not only be consumed but can also be processed into something that has more value, one of which is biodiesel. Biodiesel is a clean renewable fuel and can be used as the best substitute for diesel fuel. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of research related to the production of biodiesel from sunflower oil using base catalysts. This research was conducted using the transesterification reaction method with the help of catalysts. Then the biodiesel yield from sunflower oil can be influenced by several factors, including the amount of catalyst, reaction temperature, reaction time, stirring speed, and molar ratio between methanol and oil. Based on the research, several tests were carried out. The first test was based on the influence of stirring speed, the results showed that the faster the stirring, the more biodiesel yield. The second test was based on the effect of reaction time; the results indicated that the reaction time could not significantly increase the biodiesel yield. The third test was based on the effect of the molar ratio of methanol and oil, the results showed that the optimum ratio could help drive the transesterification reaction towards the product. The fourth test looked at how the concentration of KOH solution affects the amount of biodiesel produced; the results showed that using the best amount of catalyst can make the transesterification reaction work better. The fifth test was based on the effect of reaction temperature; the results showed that at high temperatures (60°C) methanol mixes more easily with oil so that the biodiesel formation reaction takes place faster. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that sunflower oil can be used as one of the ingredients in making biodiesel.Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):SDG 7: Affordable and Clean EnergySDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and InfrastructureSDG 12: Responsible Consumption and ProductionSDG 13: Climate Action

Abstract

The avocado seed is a food waste that contains vegetable oil. The amount of avocado seed waste is very abundant, but there is no optimal processing or utilization. Fossil fuels as an energy source can experience scarcity because these energy sources are non-renewable. This research has important implications in waste management and development of renewable energy sources. One type of renewable energy is biodiesel. Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly alternative fuel made from vegetable oil. The use of biodiesel as an alternative fuel has advantages including being easier to decompose in nature and reducing emissions when compared to diesel oil. One type of plant that can be used as raw material for making biodiesel is avocado. This study aims to utilize avocado seed waste as a raw material for biodiesel synthesis and to test its characteristics that have not been found in previous studies in the form of analysis of acid value, density, and oxidation stability. The method used in the synthesis of biodiesel was esterification and transesterification reactions using methanol solvent with a mole ratio of avocado seeds to methanol of 1:6 and the addition of H2SO4 catalyst as much as 0.5% of the weight of oil for the esterification process and the addition of NaOH catalyst as much as 1% of the weight of oil for the transesterification process. This study complements previous research on biodiesel from avocado seeds and compares the obtained biodiesel characteristics to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 04-7182:2015. The final results of this study were 34,61%, 0.98 mg-KOH/g, 977 kg/m3, and 318 minutes for biodiesel yield, acid value, density, and oxidation stability, respectively.

Abstract

The pyrolysis method is a technology in energy conversion that can be applied in processing plastic waste into alternative fuels in liquid form. The pyrolysis method begins with heating the plastic waste in the reactor at a temperature of more than 400°C so that the thermal degradation process of the material occurs without oxygen content, causing a phase change to the vapor phase. The vapor phase is cooled into the condenser to convert it into a liquid phase to obtain liquid fuel from plastic waste. In this study, the pyrolysis condenser design in changing the vapor phase from the reactor to the liquid phase was designed using water as a coolant on the annular side with a coolant inlet temperature of 25 ° C and a coolant outlet temperature of 35°C. The results showed that an annular side dimension with a diameter of 250 mm and a height of 250 mm was needed to reduce the temperature of the inlet condenser fuel vapor from 60°C to 30°C. Furthermore, the inner pipe of the condenser is made of copper material, which is formed by a spiral with a spiral diameter of 250 mm, an inner diameter of 25 mm, and a tubing length of 4,870 mm.

Abstract

One of Indonesia's greatest waste crops, rice husk, has not yet been fully exploited. Rice husk has a high lignocellulose content, increasing its potential as a renewable energy source, particularly in the form of biopellets. The procedure of creating biopellets is the focus of this study. biopellets made from rice husk and evaluate their quality using proximal, ultimate, value, density, and heat criteria. The study's stages include drying the raw material, milling it to a uniform size, using a pellet mill for pelletisation, and testing the biopellets for quality in compliance with SNI 8951:2020. The study's findings revealed that rice husk biopellets have sufficient calories and low water content after undergoing optimal drying. However, the high relative ash content is the main problem in using it as a feedstock for co-firing, necessitating quality enhancement through chemical treatment or blending with other biomass. Overall, biopellets derived from rice husks have the potential to serve as an environmentally acceptable and cost-effective alternative energy source for household and industrial use.

Abstract

The increasing demand for electrical energy due to population growth, urbanization, and technological development requires alternative solutions that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Conventional batteries generally contain hazardous heavy metals, thus encouraging the development of bio-batteries using natural materials. This study aims to utilize orange (Citrus sinensis) juice as an electrolyte in the fabrication of bio-batteries and to investigate the effect of sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) addition on their electrochemical performance. The research was conducted experimentally by preparing electrolyte solutions consisting of orange juice with variations in volume (200–400 mL) and Na₂CO₃ concentration (0.5; 1; and 2 M). Electrodes used were copper (Cu) as cathode and aluminum (Al) as anode, arranged in series within a BioChamber. Parameters measured included pH 5, voltage, current, power, conductivity, and LED lighting duration. The results show that the optimum condition was obtained at 200 mL of orange juice with 0.5 M Na₂CO₃, producing a voltage of 6.45 V, a current of 30.89 mA, a power of 199.24 mW, and LED lighting duration of approximately 356 minutes. Increasing the Na₂CO₃ concentration to 1 M and 2 M decreased the performance due to the excessive alkalinity of the solution. This study demonstrates that orange juice combined with Na₂CO₃ has significant potential as an alternative, environmentally friendly energy source for the development of green energy technologies.

Abstract

Abstract--Increased production of organic waste from the livestock, agriculture, urban, and agro-industrial sectors poses significant environmental challenges if not managed properly. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective technology for processing organic waste while producing renewable energy in the form of biogas. However, the performance of the AD process is greatly influenced by substrate characteristics, such as the carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio, lignocellulose content, nitrogen content, and chemical conditions of the substrate. This article aims to conduct a comparative review of various types of animal and plant-based organic waste used in biogas production through the AD process, with an emphasis on methane potential, operational constraints, and process optimization strategies. The method used is a narrative literature review of national and international journal articles discussing the utilization of livestock manure (cattle, chicken, pigs, and goats), food waste, lignocellulosic biomass (rice straw, water hyacinth, and grass), and agro-industrial liquid waste (tofu liquid waste and Palm Oil Mill Effluent/POME). The results of the study show that cow manure has good process stability but relatively moderate methane yield, while chicken and pig manure have higher methane potential but are susceptible to ammonia inhibition. Plant-based and agro-industrial waste generally has high energy potential, but faces obstacles in the form of slow hydrolysis, acidic pH, and nutrient imbalance. Based on the results of the study, anaerobic co-digestion (ACoD) has been proven to be the most effective strategy for optimizing biogas production. This approach is able to balance the C/N ratio, increase buffer capacity, reduce inhibition effects, and improve microbiological stability. The combination of substrates that produces a mixed C/N ratio in the optimal range of 20–30 has been consistently reported to increase methane yield and AD process stability. Thus, substrate selection and formulation through co-digestion are key to developing an efficient and sustainable biogas system.

Abstract

Pengembangan turbin angin modern sangat bergantung pada optimasi desain bilah (blade) untuk memaksimalkan konversi energi kinetik angin menjadi energi mekanik dan listrik. Variasi bentuk blade termasuk modifikasi biomimetik seperti leading-edge tubercles dan trailing-edge serrations, penggunaan winglet pada ujung bilah, desain helical pada turbin sumbu vertikal (VAWT), serta perubahan geometri airfoil dan geometri Savonius merupakan fokus riset utama untuk meningkatkan koefisien daya (Cp), torsi awal, stabilitas aliran, dan pengurangan kebisingan. Artikel ini meninjau 24 jurnal nasional dan internasional dan menganalisis dampak variasi bentuk blade terhadap performa turbin angin. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa modifikasi yang diinspirasi oleh alam (biomimetik) dapat secara konsisten meningkatkan efisiensi aerodinamis dan mengurangi gangguan aliran, sementara desain helical dan Savonius yang dioptimalkan sangat cocok untuk kondisi kecepatan angin rendah. Kajian ini menegaskan pentingnya inovasi geometri blade sebagai jalur strategis dalam pengembangan turbin angin yang lebih efisien dan adaptif ke berbagai kondisi lingkungan.
