Yohanis Tangke Tosuli, a Doctoral student in the Mechanical Engineering Program at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI), has researched a new approach to utilizing sago waste as a potential alternative fuel through biomass gasification technology. His dissertation was presented at the FTUI Doctoral Promotion Open Defense on Thursday (26\/2) in an offline session at the Smart Meeting Room, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through his doctoral research titled<\/span> “<\/span>Conversion of Sago Waste into Renewable Energy by Adding Al\u2082O\u2083 as a Catalyst Through Top-Lit Updraft Gasification,<\/span>“<\/span><\/em> Yohanis introduces an innovative approach to biomass waste utilization for sustainable energy. The gasification technology developed in his research enables the conversion of sago waste into high-quality synthetic gas (syngas), which can <\/span>be used<\/span> as an environmentally friendly alternative energy source.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I<\/span>ndonesia has vast biomass potential, including sago waste, which has not yet <\/span>been optimally utilized<\/span>. Through this research, I aim to prove that <\/span>sago waste can be converted<\/span> into renewable energy with greater efficiency using Al\u2082O\u2083-based catalytic gasification technology. It <\/span>is hoped<\/span> that this innovation can support the transition to clean energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels,<\/span>” <\/span>said Yohanis.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dean of FTUI, Prof. Kemas Ridwan Kurniawan, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., expressed his appreciation, saying,<\/span> “<\/span>I highly appreciate <\/span>Yohanis\u2019<\/span> efforts and dedication in this research. Utilizing biomass waste as an alternative energy source is a concrete step in addressing sustainability challenges. We hope this research can continue to <\/span>be developed<\/span> and open opportunities for collaboration with the industry for broader implementation<\/span>.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Yohanis successfully defended his dissertation with a <\/span>cum laude<\/span><\/em> distinction, earning a GPA of 3.88. He became the 114th Doctor from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the 594th Doctor within the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia. <\/span>The doctoral promotion session was chaired by Prof. <\/span>Dr.<\/span> Ir. Yanuar, M.Eng., M.Sc., with Prof. <\/span>Dr.<\/span> Ir. Adi Surjosatyo, M.Sc., as the Promoter, and <\/span>Dr.<\/span> Ir. Cahyadi, M.Komp., as the Co-Promoter.<\/span> The examination committee included Prof. Dr. Ir. Yulianto Sulistyo Nugroho, Ph.D., M.Sc., Prof. Dr. Ir. I Made Kartika, Dipl. Ing., Prof. Dr. Ir. Warjito, M.Sc., Ahmad Syihan Auzani, S.T., M.T., Ph.D., and Prof. Dr. Ir. Harwin Saptoadi, M.SE., IPM., ASEAN Eng.<\/span><\/p>\n
