Ethanol is a form of renewable energy. That can be used as fuel. Can replace gasoline or diesel. Fuel is an important factor driving the countrys economy. Ethanol can be produced from agricultural products garbage and various waste. his research uses watermelon rind. Which is waste from the community as a raw material for the production of ethanol by the fermentation process the microorganisms used in the fermentation process are ball flour. After fermentation for 6 hours it was found that the watermelon rind weighing 10 grams measured the concentration of alcohol. The concentration was 9.3 % VOL 18 Brix %. 20 grams of watermelon rind measuring the concentration of alcohol The concentration of 8.1 % VOL 16 Brix % of watermelon rind at 30 grams measured the concentration of alcohol. Get the concentration 8 % VOL 16 Brix % watermelon rind at 40 grams measure the concentration of alcohol get the concentration of 7.9 % VOL 15.1 Brix % and watermelon rind at 50 grams measure the concentration of alcohol the concentration of 7 % VOL 15 Brix %. Therefore it can be said that the watermelon rind which is waste from the community. Is a raw material with high potential for ethanol production to be used as a renewable energy source Instead of using raw materials from food plants and other energy crops.
