Indonesia has a huge potential for biomass energy resources. In 2013, the estimated potential of forest biomass in Indonesia for bioenergy was 132 PJ, 50.4% from harvest residues and 49.6% from wood processing residues. Until now, the technology of burning biomass using a stove continues to develop. Biomass stoves are designed, modified and tested to get maximum performance, at least approaching the performance of LPG-fueled stoves. Several studies concluded that about 14.66% of the total heat loss is on the walls of the biomass stove. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the waste heat in the wall of a biomass stove can be used to generate electricity. Many researchers have studied the heat loss on the walls of the biomass stove, this heat loss can reduce the thermal efficiency of the stove and can cause the stove user to feel uncomfortable. Based on the Seebeck effect method where the temperature difference can be converted into electricity. If there is a temperature difference between the two sides of the thermoelectric, electricity will arise. This principle is used by thermoelectric generators. To maximize the temperature difference, the cold side of the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) needs a cooling system. In this study, the TEG was attached to the wall of the biomass stove, then the voltage generated by the TEG was measured for each type of biomass fuel. the highest average voltage produced by wood chips, followed by candlenut shells, corn cobs and coconut shells. This is unique, although the calorific value of coconut shells (19,5 MJ/kg) is higher than hard wood (18,8 MJ/kg) and corn cobs (5.32 MJ/Nm3 ), but the highest average voltage is produced by wood 1.30 volts, then 1.12 volts of candlenut shells, 1.08 volts of corn cobs, and 0.79 volts of coconut shells.

Producing durable and efficient solid biofuels should be an important consideration in Nigeria’s present economy due to the numerous advantages associated with it. It offers the benefit of energy generation, particularly in rural areas, and could potentially replace fossil fuels. However, the adoption and production of solid biofuels at commercial scale in Nigeria is limited by some challenges, including the lack of a developed supply chain structure, inadequate facilities, and air pollution. The present study summarizes the types of solid biofuel production technologies deployed in Nigeria as well as the biomass feedstock utilized in the production of fuel briquettes and pellets. While opportunities exist in the gasification of biomass in Nigeria, direct combustion is a readily applicable fuel conversion process that can be utilized to generate electricity from solid biofuel. The major challenges surrounding the full adoption of solid biofuel production and utilization in Nigeria are highlighted. Among others, promotion of clean energy alternatives, investments and financial incentives, sustainable renewable energy policy and energy transition plan, and legislative backing are identified as factors that could accelerate the commercial production and adoption of solid biofuel in Nigeria.
