    2011 2nd International Conference on Environmental Engineering and Applications IPCBEE vol.17 (2011) © (2011) IACSIT Press, Singapore The Potential of Developing Siwalan Palm Sugar (Borassus flabellifer Linn.) as One of the Bioethanol Sources to Overcome Energy Crisis Problem in Indonesia Nisa Bila Sabrina Haisya 1, Bagus Dwi Utama 2, Riki Cahyo Edy 3, and Hevi Metalika Aprilia 4 1 Student at Faculty of Veterinary, Bogor Agricultural University 2 Student at Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Bogor Agricultural University 3 Student at Faculty of Economy and Management, Bogor Agricultural University 4 Student at Faculty of Forestry, Bogor Agricultural University Abstract. The energy demand in Indonesia increases due to a significant growth in population, this fact has diminished the fossil fuel storage as our main non renewable energy source. Recently, there are a lot of researches on renewable energy; one of the most prominent is the development of bioethanol as a result of fermentation of sugar or starch containing materials. Palm sugar as one of the natural sugar sources can be obtained from most of palm trees such as coconut, aren, nipah, and siwalan. This paper explored the potential of Siwalan palm sugar development to be converted into bioethanol as renewable energy source through fermentation and purification processes. Siwalan palm sugar contains 8.658 ml ethanol out of 100 ml palm sugar liquid processed using fermentation and distillation. Bioethanol can further utilized as fuel when it is mixed with gasoline that called gasohol. In the future, it is expected that gasohol can replace gasoline consumption as an alternative energy that can be competitive in term of price in Indonesia.

It was prepared as part of the Bureau of Land Management's Cultural Resource Manage- ment Program and is the second complete history of a BLM district in Colorado. A major objective of the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, is the identification, evaluation and protection of the nation's historic heritage and values, particularly those under the management of the Bureau. The history of Southwestern Colorado is designed to provide a baseline narrative for Cultural Resource Management. Paul M. O'Rourke has written a new history of the southwest corner of Colorado and in doing so, has provided a timely and original view of Colorado's heritage and history. This study will become part of the over-all history of Colorado as prepared by the Bureau and as other volumes dealing with Colorado history are written, they too will be made available to the general public.

It belongs to Cucurbitaceac family and is India commonly grown in Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Malaysia and Philippines. The name snake gourd is given due to its long, slender, twisted and elongated snake-like fruits. It is an annual vine climbing by means of tendrils (Mohammad Pessarakli, 2016). The soft-skinned immature fruit can reach up to 150 cm (59 in) in length. It’s soft, bland, somewhat mucilaginous flesh is similar to that of the luffa and the calabash. It is popular in the cuisines of South and Southeast Asia and is now grown in some home gardens in Africa. With some cultivars, the immature fruit has an unpleasant odor and a slightly bitter maturity, but it does contain a reddish pulp that is used in Africa as a substitute for tomatoes. The shoots, tendrils and leaves are also eaten as greens (Wayback Machine, 2013). *Corresponding Author Trichosanthes cucumerina falls under scientific classification Poornima Singh* of: E-mail: [email protected] Kingdom Plantea Division Magnoliophyta Class Mangoliopsida Order Curcubitales Family Cucurbitaceac Genus Trichosanthes Article History Species Cucumerina Received: 15. 07.2021 Revised: 24. 07.2021 Snake gourd is substituted for solanaceous tomato because of Accepted: 10.
