Abstract

The use of petung bamboo as a raw material for making charcoal briquettes will reduce dependence on fossil fuel energy which is already depleting. The abundant condition of petung bamboo waste in Toraja comes from the rest of the party activities of tuka signs and solo signs that are useful for making houses / loud places for relatives and guests to sit. This research was conducted by making charcoal briquettes from petung bamboo waste by varying the composition of the sago adhesive and clay as an alternative energy source. The purpose of this research is to determine the optimal thermal efficiency. The method to be used is an experimental method using petung bamboo waste as an alternative fuel on the stove with a water boiling process. The results showed that B2 briquettes (a mixture of 175 grams of petung bamboo charcoal and 25 grams of clay reinforcement) were the most superior in terms of boiling 21 liters of water and produced a thermal efficiency of 70.39%.
