Biodiesel can be generated by the catalytic vegetable oil- transesterification at 45-60°C. The heat requirement for a reaction can be obtained from solar thermal energy. West Kalimantan is crossed by the Equator where the sun shines for 10-15 hours /day. Palm Oil Production reaches 2.2 million tons making biodiesel has great potential to be produced. Implementation from the ideas is mini plant technology with solar water heaters for biodiesel production. Solar water heaters as a source of thermal energy are used as heating fluid in reactor plant. This technology is simple, without the need for electrical energy, low operating costs and environmentally friendly.

Organic waste is material that has no value but can be used as raw material to produce biogas. It is easier to handle by anaerobic processing. The advantages of biogas by using anaerobic digestion process are minimizes the effects of environmental pollutions, reduce emissions and increase the value of the benefits of waste. The purposes of this research are to design a digester for processing organic waste into biogas and find out the impact of biogas production on emissions reduction. Biogas production was analyzed using gas Chromatography (GC) and emission reductions were calculated using the AP-42 (Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors) equation. The digester used is a CSTR which is suitable for liquid phase and for organic chemical reactions with large conversions. Parameters that affect the performance of the reactor are the residence time on the flow of substances in the reactor, Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT). HRT can affect the growth of fermentative bacteria corelation with the production of biogas. The optimum volume of biogas of 16.52 Liters / Day with the acquisition of CH4 of 75,893.36 ppm was on the 13th day in a variation of HRT 20. Every 20 kg of organic waste that has been processed in the digester, it will be reducing 76.5 g / day of CO emissions.

Organic waste can be processed into biogas through the anaerobic decomposition process. Anaerobic decomposition can be influenced by various factors including the addition of immobilization media. Cell immobilization is an attempt to increase the stability of the anaerobic process while reducing the potential for washout. Adding this solid material can increase reactor efficiency and can increase methane yield. The research on the addition of zeolite and PDAM sludge as immobilization media aims to find out how the effect of the addition of immobilized media, as well as the best composition between PDAM slurry and zeolite as immobilization media in the biogas production process from organic waste. The immobilization media used has three variations in the composition ratio between PDAM sludge and zeolites, namely 2:0, 2:1, 1:1 and a control reactor. Observation parameter are of VS, pH, concentration of methane gas and gas volume. Based on observations made, it was known that the addition of zeolite and sludge PDAM as a medium of immobilization in the biogas production process could increase biogas production and the concentration of methane produced. Of the three variations in the composition of the media used in this study, the composition ratio of 2: 1 gave the best biogas production results in the amount of 23.2844 L. As for the methane concentration, the overall reactor with the addition of immobilization media results in higher biogas concentrations and the reactor with the addition of media with a ratio of 2: 1 gave the largest methane concentration results.
