Abstract

Large quantities of by-products from areca nut and coconut processing generated annually have significant potential as solid fuel feedstocks due to their high lignocellulosic content. Optimal utilization of these residues can increase their added value and reduce the environmental impacts associated with organic waste. This study aimed to explore the manufacturing process and characteristics of biobriquettes made from biomass waste in the form of areca nut husk, coconut husk, and coconut shell. These raw materials were processed through the stages of cleaning, drying, carbonation, refining, mixing with adhesives, molding, and drying. The use of adhesives such as tapioca flour, sago, or palm oil liquid waste affects the quality of biobriquettes, including their moisture content, ash content, calorific value, density, and combustion rate. The results of the study revealed that biomass-based biobriquettes have several advantages, such as being cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and producing a high calorific value. This study provides scientific and practical benefits to the processing of biomass waste into renewable energy with high economic value.  The utilization of this waste not only enhances renewable energy production but also reduces agricultural waste and environmental pollution.

Abstract

Oil Palm farming has a substantial positive impact on job creation and the socio-economic conditions of communities, particularly in rural areas. However, a major challenge faced by smallholder Oil Palm farmers, especially those operating on a small scale, is the sustainability of their farming practices. These barriers often hinder the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices that align with certification standards, particularly the Indonesian Sustainable Oil Palm (ISPO) standards. This study aims to describe the social and economic characteristics of ISPO-certified smallholder Oil Palm farmers, analyze management practices based on farm performance, and assess the sustainability model of smallholder Oil Palm farming in Merangin Regency, as reflected in ISPO certification. The research was conducted in Nalo Tantan District, which has varying levels of Oil Palm productivity and ISPO-certified smallholder farmers. The study used observational methods, direct interviews, and secondary data analysis from relevant institutions and scientific literature. A sample of 60 respondents was selected for the study. The results showed an average Oil Palm production of 84.43 tons/ha/year with an average selling price of IDR 2,682/kg. The average land area used by farmers was 3.40 ha, with fertiliser use of 840 kg/ha/year and pesticide use of 7.1 liters/ha/year. The sustainability analysis showed that ISPO-certified smallholder Oil Palm farming in Nalo Tantan has a relatively good sustainability status, with a sustainability index of 66.99. The economic dimension was highly sustainable with a score of 77.85, while the social and ecological dimensions were moderately sustainable, scoring 57.76 and 67.22, respectively. It is crucial to strengthen certification implementation, improve social and environmental management, and support economic sustainability by enhancing resource management and expanding market access.
