This research was done to compare carbon quality made from hybrid coconut shell and deep coconut shell using direct process from coconut shell to be active carbon at 800- 1200oC temperature. The results shows that active carbon from deep coconut shell was better compared with hybrid coconut shell. Deep coconut shell has: ash content 2,1, water content 3,9, bonding carbon content 98, Iod absorbed ability 904, CTC 54, good galnular, consecutively and hard, whereas hybrid coconut shell has : ash content 12,4, water content 6,8, bonding carbon content 68, Iod absorbeb ability 482, CTC 28, desultory glanular and brittl
