Abstract

The increasing use of coal fuel has an impact on environmental emissions, in an effort to reduce the impact, the application of clean coal is sought, one of which is through coal gasification. Coal gasification is a pilot project at PT Bukit Asam, in the coal gasification process it will produce a by-product in the form of char. The results of previous studies showed that charcoal has increased calorific value and decreased sulfur content significantly, this is the basis for research on the use of charcoal as a raw material for biobriquettes which is more environmentally friendly and can be an alternative energy resource [1]. The parameters of this research that were studied were the effect of composition and size on the quality and flame of biobriquettes. From the results of the study, it was found that the quality of biobriquettes met the SNI briquette quality standards, while the ignition time became shorter with the addition of coconut shell charcoal. So as a recommendation, the best biobriquettes that can be used as solid fuels based on their ignition properties are biobriquettes with a size of 100 mesh or 60 mesh. With a composition of 100% coconut shell charcoal.
