Abstract

The palm oil midrib has not been utilized so it has the potential to become waste. If it allowed to accumulate more and more, in the dry state palm oil midrib are very flammable and can cause land fires that often occurs in Riau Province. Waste that often cause problems can still be utilized, for example in making fiber bricks. The purpose of this research was to calculate the compressive strength of fiber brick, cost of production and production of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The method used is descriptive method that prioritizes the type of quantitative research and uses an experimental approach with laboratory research and field survey to calculate the cost of production and calculation of CO2 emissions. Result of this research is that the fiber from palm oil heap is better added to the production of brick because it raises the value of compressive strength and presses the cost of production and the low carbon emission. The conclusion obtained is the value of the compressive strength by 111.34 kg/cm2; Cost of Production of a fiber brick is Rp 2,667.00 under the ordinary cost of production brick Rp 3,055.00; the production of CO2 emissions is 0.00178 tons/m3.
