“…The development of biomass as a renewable energy source holds significant potential in Indonesia. The anticipated capability for generating biomass energy is 50 GWe, however the current installed capacity for biomass energy in Indonesia is approximately 1600 MW (Pradnyaswari et al, 2022). Biopellets are a type of biomass product that is derived from sawdust waste and transformed into tiny alternative fuels, distinct from briquettes.…”

The development of wood pellets as a sustainable energy source derived from biomass waste has not significantly increased over the past few decades, despite a rise in demand for and sales of its products worldwide. Several variables contribute to the intricate issue of creating wood pellets from biomass waste as a renewable energy source, including the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders, including the government, financial institutions, academia, the manufacturing sector, and non-governmental organizations. This article uses a waste management model that employs the Soft System Methodology (SSM) approach to assess the challenge of producing wood pellets from biomass waste as a renewable energy source and possible solutions. Data and information on the development of wood pellets as a renewable energy source derived from biomass waste were acquired through a literature review and in-depth interviews with specialists. The study’s findings demonstrate that using the SSM technique leads to a conceptual model that depicts the interactions between sub-elements to enhance the development of wood pellets as a biomass waste-derived renewable energy source. This concept was developed to lessen any adverse effects and enhance the processing of biomass waste. The success of goals is determined by the importance of each actor’s role and the collaboration of other actors, including local, national, and corporate governments. The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is the primary stakeholder and has a say in policy and program formulation. The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mineral Resources, financial institutions, and other relevant organizations can help with this effort.

“…Wood Biomass is a renewable energy source as a substitute for fossil fuels (petroleum) because of some beneficial properties that can be utilized sustainably. The potential for developing biomass energy is estimated at 50 GWe, while Indonesia's installed biomass energy capacity is around 1600 MW [1]. Wood biomass utilization in Indonesia has been a significant focus due to the country's abundant resources and the potential for renewable energy sources [1], [2], [3].…”

The study uses densified sawdust with heat propagation and thermal conductivity to achieve better pyrolysis and gasification processes. Analysis of sawdust's heat propagation and thermal conductivity during pyrolysis was developed with Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The thermal conductivity values of sawdust (k) obtained from FEA are 1.49, 1.3, 1.1, and 0.7 W/m C considering the sawdust heated with a triggering temperature (T0) 535 ºC and reaches a constant temperature of T1 = 265 ºC, T2 = 165 ºC, T3 = 115, and T4 = 95 ºC respectively after 20 minutes. The temperature distribution of sawdust heated shows between the experimental and FEA results is quite the same; however, differences on graph T1 show the experimental thermal conductivity (k) value is distinct from the simulated thermal conductivity (k) value due to a significant change that occurred as sawdust transformed into charcoal at minute 70, where the distance between point T1 and the trigger point (T0) is 40mm and after 180 minutes the sawdust had turned into charcoal completely. Furthermore, 31 grams (6.46%) of sawdust underwent pyrolysis in this experiment. The findings can aid future research and development in this field and provide valuable insight into the duration of time a bio stove utilizing compacted sawdust can produce a sustainable flame and be used as a reference for future experiments.

“…Biopellets are biomass-based alternative sources of fuel having the same density, shape, size, humidity and energy content. When biomass is converted into biopellets, the conversion will create several advantages such as an increased calorific value, a lowered water content and a lowered ash content of the combustion residues [3] [4] [5] [6]. Bio-pellet technology has been such a breakthrough employed to solve a problem of the dependence on various non-renewable sources of energy.…”

Calliandra wood is a kind of forest biomass located in Baturaden Adventure Forest (BAF). The availability of which is quite abundant, so it has such an outsized potential to be processed into biopellets. This study was aimed at creating biopellets made of Calliandra wood and assessing their calorific value and their proximate value, and doing the mechanical and the combustion tests. This wood was converted into bio-pellets by employing several processes such as the drying, crushing, and milling processes, as well as the process of a 60-mesh sifting and the process of printing the bio-pellets with a starch adhesive of 16% Calliandra wood powder mass. Based on the results of this study, it was found out that the characteristics of the Calliandra wood biopellets taken from BAF had met the standards recommended by SNI 8021:2014, namely that of an over 4000 cal/gr calorific value, 3.6 % maximum moisture content, 69.4% maximum volatile matter content, 0.95% maximum ash content and 26% minimum fixed carbon content. The tests found out that the maximum stress value was 2.5MPa. and 66gram Calliandra wood bio-pellet could boil 500 ml of water in 6.5 minutes. Therefore, the biopellets can highly effectively be used as an alternative fuel.
