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.

Abstract

The palm oil industry is one of Indonesia’s key plantation sectors, generating substantial amounts of both solid and liquid waste. This waste includes empty fruit bunches (EFB), shells, fibers, and palm oil mill effluent (POME). This literature review aims to examine the potential and recent technological advancements in utilizing oil palm waste as an environmentally friendly renewable energy source. A systematic literature review was conducted using journal articles, conference proceedings, and scientific reports published between 2018 and 2024. The findings indicate that oil palm waste can be converted into solid biomass (such as briquettes and pellets), biogas from POME, and raw materials for biodiesel and bioethanol. Technologies employed include anaerobic fermentation, pyrolysis, and gasification. Moreover, the utilization of this waste contributes to greenhouse gas emission reduction and enhances energy efficiency in plantation and processing facilities. However, technical and economic challenges remain major barriers to large-scale development. Collaboration among industry stakeholders, government, and academia is essential for the sustainable optimization of oil palm waste utilization. This study highlights that transforming waste into energy is a strategic step toward national energy resilience and sustainable development.
