“…The conversion of materials which contained 68-85% carbohydrate is resulting 5.8% ethanol [20]. For further processing, nipah sap generating 8.98-14% of ethanol, result in bioethanol ranging from 3,587.92-22,374.54 L per ha per year [21]. It shows that nipah sap has a potency to convert into ethanol.…”

Renewable energy opens up prospects for answer the problem and an eco-friendly solution directed to energy security. Indonesia as a rich country of biodiversity resources, has a high potential for developing new and renewable energy derivates from plants. One of those biodiversity resources that had been investigated is nipah (Nypa fruticans Wurmb). Nipah belongs to family Palmae or Arecaceae. Commonly known as the nipa palm, is a species of palm considered adapted to the mangrove ecosystem. Nipah naturally distributes in Sumatera, Kalimantan, Java, Sulawesi, and New Guinea. Nipah produces high amount of sap that can be converted into bioethanol. Nipah sap was produced by fruit stalks that can be harvested twice a day. One stalk can produce about 0.5 to 2 l sap per day. This nipah sap generates 8.98-14% of ethanol that resulting varied amount of bioethanol from 3,587.92-22,374.54 l per ha per year. Nipah also contains high amount of lignocellulose that can be converted into bioethanol. Nipah has cellulose and hemicellulose content that ranges from 28.9-45.6 wt% and 21.8-26.4 wt%, respectively. This lignocellulose component can be converted into bioethanol and yielded around 1,169.22 kg per ha. Charcoal production is also potentially made from some parts of nipah tree, such as fruit bunch, fruit shell, leaf midrib, and leaves. Nipah has productivity around 2,858.89 kg per ha to produce charcoal. The nipah charcoal has characteristics close to charcoal characteristics produced from other palm trees.

“…The productivity of the nipa plant would be one of the main advantages of the plant among other fuel crops. There is no displaced labor in nipa ecosystem in comparison to sugarcane ecosystem where they need to be harvested first before the saps are extracted (Hidayat, 2015). In terms of land and water resources, competition against other agricultural crops is relatively low.…”

The ultimate goal of the present study was to develop a secure, safe, and hygienic nipa sap collection system for bioethanol production, with the aim of preserving its physico-chemical properties such as physical appearance, pH and sugar brix by reducing the rate of fermentation while attached to the peduncle. The developed collection system was evaluated in terms of the physical and chemical properties of nipa sap collected and ethanol yield in comparison to the traditional and existing collection system used by the nipa community which utilizes bamboo shingle as their collector. Physical appearance of the sap collected using the designed collection system had no foreign materials after harvesting while the traditional collection system had shown traces of insect infestation. The sap that was produced for both of the designed and traditional collection system was milky-white and yellowish-white in color respectively. There was a significant difference in terms of pH concentration of the sap collected using the designed collection system compared to the sap collected using the traditional system overtime. Sugar brix of nipa sap collected using designed collection system is significantly higher than the sap collected using traditional system. A total ethanol yield of 32.25% and 75.54% was obtained for the designed and traditional collection system respectively. Cost Analysis revealed that the designed collection system was found to be cheaper (PhP 11.93) than the traditional collection system (PhP. 20.00). The developed closed collection system can preserved the chemical properties of the nipa sap and could prevent acceleration of fermentation and the deterioration of its potential to yield more ethanol.

“…The sap is collected from mature infructescence and does not have any harmful effect on the palm growth. The estimated annual ethanol yield of 3,600-22,400 L -1 ha -1 year -1 from nipa sap makes it an attractive raw material for ethanol production compared to sugarcane and corn, with reported yields of 5,300-6,500 and 3,100-3,900 L -1 ha -1 year -1 , respectively (3) . Fermented nipa sap has complex organic and inorganic compounds; the production of which depends on many factors, including period of fermentation and microbial activity.…”
