# Indonesian agricultural waste repurposing initiatives > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/indonesian-agricultural-waste-repurposing-initiatives > Updated: 2026-08-27T04:38:20.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Agricultural communities and researchers in Indonesia are increasingly utilizing waste products to support circular economy practices and green energy production. Initial efforts focused on coffee waste, with initiatives in Karawang to convert coffee husks into biomass briquettes for energy and income, and in Bali to transform husks into livestock feed and organic fertilizer. These programs also emphasized food safety standards and quality maintenance. Subsequent developments expanded these practices to other agricultural residues. In Karawang, rice husk waste is being converted into charcoal briquettes for domestic use and potential export to international markets. In Makassar, researchers are employing pyrolysis technology to produce both charcoal and liquid smoke from biomass, creating products suitable for energy, food purification, and liquid waste treatment. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-27: Indonesian researchers convert agricultural waste into green energy Indonesian researchers are converting agricultural waste into green energy, including rice husk briquettes in Karawang and charcoal and liquid smoke via pyrolysis in Makassar. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesian-researchers-convert-agricultural-waste-into-green-energy ### 2026-08-09: Indonesian farmers repurpose coffee waste for energy and feed Indonesian coffee farmers are adopting circular economy models by converting coffee husk waste into biomass briquettes, livestock feed, and organic fertilizer to boost economic value and sustainability. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/indonesian-farmers-repurpose-coffee-waste-for-energy-and-feed --- Cite as: Indonesian agricultural waste repurposing initiatives.
