The human population increases every year, reported from
the official website of the United Nation, in 2011 the world
population reached 7 billion people. Then in 2016 reached
7.4 billion people and the world population in 2020 reached
7.7 billion people. It is estimated that by 2030 it will grow to
8.5 billion people and by 2050 to reach 9.7 billion
inhabitants. which makes energy needs also increase. With
these facts, we design gasification stove biomass energy that
aims to reduce the use of non-renewable fuels. The study
aims to design a rice husks gasification stove to minimize
agricultural waste. In this study, there is an innovation in tar
reduction using dolomite as a catalyst. This research uses
qualitative research methods that are presented
descriptively. The gasification stove design is inspired by the
oil stove with the addition of an iron pipe that serves as an
oxygen supplier. The design of gasification stoves using rice
husk as fuel was successfully carried out. This stove is proven
to be one of the tools to maximize the potential of using rice
husks as fuel. Finally, we hope that this research can
continue to be refined in further studies to maximize the
utilization of rice husk waste as renewable alternative
energy.
