  • Banana waste is agricultural residues that can be utilized as biomass sources due to its lignocellulosic content. The In-liquid plasma method was applied is to investigate the possibility of hydrogen production from banana pseudo-stem, banana true stem and banana peel. In this study, cellulose was decomposed from banana waste using radio frequency (RF) as a power source. When applying plasma in banana waste powder, all main gas and by-product were observed using gas chromatograph. At the initial concentration of 0.5 wt%, higher hydrogen production rate and hydrogen percentage 0.30 mL/s and 70.03% respectively was obtained when using banana true stem.
