  • Nowadays, the Fuel oil is the energy source with the largest consumption when compared to other energy sources. BBM is a non-renewable fossil fuel. This condition provides impetus to seek alternative sources of abundant and renewable energy compared to oil, natural gas and coal. One of the interesting options is biomass. The purpose of this study was to obtain a mixture of biobriquettes between biomass with a composition comparison and to analyze the mixture of biomass for moisture content, ash content, volatile matter content, and fixed carbon content. The method used is to process the carbonized coconut shell and bagasse using a briquette pyrolysis machine, then make the composition of coconut shell and bagasse 85%: 15% and the composition of coconut shell and bagasse 65%: 35% with charcoal briquette testing including: content water content, ash content, volatile matter content and fixed carbon content. The results showed that the composition of coconut shell and bagasse was 85%: 15% water content 3.56%, ash content 6.28%, volatile matter 7.74%, fixed carbon content 76.23%, while the composition of coconut shell and sugarcane bagasse 65% : 35% moisture content 5.43%, ash content 7, 13%, volatile content 11.21%, fixed carbon content 82,4%.
