Tibarau sugar cane is a renewable energy plant that is very likely to be processed into solid fuel in the form of bio-briquettes. Development of bio-briquette tibarau as an effort in the effort of alternative fuels to reduce the energy of oil-fueled energy. In producing biobriquette tibarau fuel, which has a measurable quality and performance with its calorific value. The use of bio-briquettes tibarau is a potential in developing renewable energy to achieve national energy security. Through the process of making bio-briquette products with carbonization technology in the furnace at certain temperatures that occur in the increase of heat. From this study, the results were obtained in the form of developing a bio-briquette tibarau model which is recommended as an alternative fuel. Characteristics of bio- briquette of tibarau content using tapioca adhesive were 32270.26 k/kg at carbonization 3000C and composition percentage 80 : 20. While bio-briquettes tibarau by using damar adhesive amounted to 36943.08 kJ/kg. Carbonization temperature affects the calorific value of biobriquettes tibarau sugar cane. The carbonization process of briquettes developed into biobriquettes were very important in improving the performance of bio-briquette fuels. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
