Summary:Candleberry shell and Areca Palm fibre are known as agricultural waste and easily found in Indonesia. This waste can be considered as a renewable energy resource that can be used as solid fuel for boiler. In this study, the burning characteristics of the combination of Candleberry shell and Areca Palm fibre are explored experimentally. The effect of mass ratio of Candleberry shell and Areca Palm fibre is investigated. Six different type of solid fuels made of Candleberry shell and Areca Palm fibre are tested. The results show that the highest High Heating Value shown by the solid fuel with ratio 25% Candleberry shell and 75% Areca Palm fibre. The highest efficiency is shown by the solid fuel with ratio 0% Candleberry shell and 100% Areca Palm fibre. The conclusion can be drawn here is that the combination of Candleberry shell and Areca Palm fibre can be used as a solid fuel of boiler and thermal efficiency comparable with conventional solid fuel.
