Abstract

Fruit waste poses significant environmental and socioeconomic challenges, particularly in agricultural countries such as Indonesia. This study presents the development of an integrated system to convert fruit biomass waste into bio-energy briquettes using a pyrolyzer, disc mill, cylindrical oven, and hydraulic press. Pyrolysis was conducted at 350–500°C under limited oxygen, producing solid carbon, bio-oil, and syngas. The carbonized material was then milled, sieved, dried, and compacted into high-density briquettes. Laboratory characterization using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS), and bomb calorimetry revealed a carbon content of approximately 82.5% and an average calorific value of 5,800 kcal/kg with a moisture content of 9.4%, indicating high energy potential and good mechanical stability. The system achieved a production capacity of 300–500 kg/day, making it suitable for small-scale, community-based renewable energy applications. The results confirm the technical feasibility and economic viability of the integrated system while supporting rural energy independence and local economic development. Future work should focus on system automation and exploring diverse biomass feedstocks for broader implementation.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of fruit waste briquette sales in increasing income and community welfare in Babussalam Village. Fruit waste, which is usually discarded, can be converted into environmentally friendly briquettes with economic value. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a case study, involving 30 respondents consisting of briquette producers and distributors. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple regression. The results show that briquette sales significantly increased household income by an average of 35% and improved welfare indicators such as education, health, and household consumption. The study concludes that the utilization and commercialization of fruit waste briquettes supports economic improvement in rural communities while simultaneously promoting sustainable environmental management. Further research is recommended to expand market access and integrate digital marketing strategies to increase the competitiveness of environmentally friendly briquette products.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of residents in Babussalam Village, Rokan Hulu Regency, in processing fruit waste into environmentally friendly energy through simple pyrolysis technology. The activity addresses the abundance of unutilized fruit waste that potentially causes environmental pollution. Conducted on October 30, 2025, with 20 participants from the local community and BUMDes Babussalam, the activity employed participatory methods including socialization, technical training, and ongoing mentoring. Results showed an 85% understanding level of renewable energy, based on pre-test and post-test evaluations improving from 45% to 85%. Participants successfully produced bio-oil and activated charcoal through direct pyrolysis practice using equipment developed from applied research. A village working group was also established under BUMDes Babussalam coordination to develop self-sufficient energy initiatives. The activity proves that integrating applied research, appropriate technology, and community participation creates an effective model for community-based energy empowerment, supporting national energy security and Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 7 on clean energy and Goal 11 on sustainable communities.

Abstract

Forest and land fires represent a recurring environmental challenge in Indonesia, especially during the prolonged dry season. These incidents result in significant consequences, including the destruction of ecosystems, threats to human health, and considerable economic disruption. To address this problem, the present research focuses on the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system designed to predict and monitor the risk of forest fires by implementing the Fuzzy Logic method. The prototype integrates several sensors, namely a DHT22 sensor for measuring temperature and humidity, an MQ-2 sensor for detecting gas and smoke concentrations, and a flame sensor for identifying the presence of fire. All sensors are connected to a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller that serves as the core of data processing and wireless communication. The collected sensor data is evaluated using a Fuzzy Logic algorithm, which classifies the fire risk into three distinct levels: “Safe,” “Caution,” and “Hazardous.” Experimental testing demonstrates that the system responds effectively to fluctuations in temperature, humidity, smoke levels, and visible flame in real time, with alerts displayed through a web-based dashboard. The DHT22 sensor exhibits an average error rate between 4.8% and 5% for temperature readings and between 4.1% and 4.5% for humidity measurements. In addition, the flame sensor successfully detects fire sources at distances reaching 300 cm. The outcomes confirm that the system achieves a high degree of reliability and accuracy, thereby providing valuable support for early warning, strengthening preventive strategies, and assisting authorities in mitigating the severe impacts of forest and land fires.
