ABSTRACT
Biomass is a potential renewable resource to produce bio-oil. Oil palm biomass is a biomass resource that is widely
grown in tropical countries, therefore it is very important to make maximum use of it. The use of pyrolysis techniques
in converting oil palm biomass can make a significant contribution to reducing the total amount of available biomass
because more biomass can be used as feedstock for bio-oil production. Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB), which is a palm
oil-derived biomass widely available in Indonesia, has the potential to be a source of fuel production. In addition,
PKS (Palm Kernel Shell) has good potential too as biomass to develop renewable energy resources. Meanwhile,
converting PKS and EFB into bio-oil provides better benefits for use as biomass energy to replace fossil fuels, and
minimizes problems of agriculture biomass product.
Key words: oil palm, empty fruit bunch, palm kernel shell, pyrolysis.
