Dataset of biopellet characteristics from various lignocellulosic agricultural waste and shrubs produced using different method

Abstract

The data presented here is the characteristics of biopellets and its raw materials. The raw materials of lignocellulosic waste and shrubs were collected from certain districts in Indonesia which provided quite abundant stocks of these raw materials. The raw material preparation and biopellet production processes using a manual press machine were carried out at Hasanuddin University, Makassar, Indonesia. Meanwhile, biopellet production using high temperatures was carried out at The Integrated Laboratory of Forest Research and Development, Bogor, Indonesia. In this laboratory, the evaluation of density, moisture content, volatile matter content, ash content, and amount of fixed carbon were also carried out. Meanwhile, evaluation of mineral content (sulfur, Na2O, K2O, Cl) and calorivic value was carried out at the Livestock Research Institute, Bogor, Indonesia. This dataset is expected to be a primary source in comparing and determining the proper type of raw material for biopellet production as an alternative renewable energy source, especially those originating from shrubs and similar lignocellulosic waste.
