With a focus on empowering SMEs based on local resources, this program is also expected to be able to contribute to improving the local economy and expanding employment. So that partner SMEs can produce high-quality coconut shell charcoal briquettes that are ready to be marketed and Increase the knowledge and technical skills of the trainees in processing coconut shell waste. The method of implementing the PKM program is carried out systematically through several stages to overcome the main problems faced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta in the field of production, management, and marketing of briquette products from coconut shell waste.

Abstract

Indonesia has abundant biomass resources, one of which comes from coconut shell waste that has not been optimally utilized. Coconut shell waste has the potential to be processed into briquettes, an environmentally friendly alternative energy source with economic value. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of communities in the Laogo region in utilizing coconut shell waste into briquettes and increase their understanding of renewable energy-based business management. The activity implementation methods included outreach, briquette-making demonstrations, an initial questionnaire to determine the community's level of knowledge, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to identify obstacles and find solutions appropriate to local conditions. The results of the activity showed an increase in community understanding of the briquette-making process and its use as an alternative fuel. In addition, the community also gained knowledge about managing small businesses based on waste processing. The community response to this activity was very positive, with most participants expressing interest in producing briquettes independently. Obstacles faced included limited equipment, business capital, and technical knowledge. Therefore, ongoing support from various parties is needed to improve the sustainability of businesses based on the utilization of coconut shell waste and to support the development of renewable energy at the community level.
