Pada hari Senin, 11 Oktober 2021 dilaksanakan pelatihan pengolahan limbah pertanian khususnya kulit buah Kakao menjadi arang aktif atau biochar. Pelatihan dilaksanakan secara bauran (gabungan luring dan daring). Narasumber pelatihan dari Natural University of Agriculture and life Science (BOKU) Austria memberikan materi secara online: Axel Mentler, Dipl.-Ing. Dr.nat.techn, Rebecca Hood-Nowotny, Priv.-Doz. MBA Ph.D, dan Katharina Keiblinger, Priv.-Doz. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Staf pengajar Departemen Teknik Pertanian dan Biosistem Fakultas Teknologi Pertanian UGM yang sedang studi S3 di BOKU, Rizki Maftukhah, STP., M.Sc, juga hadir secara online dan menyampaikan materi terkait penelitiannya di lahan pertanian bekas tambang timah. Narasumber dari Teknik Pertanian dan Biosistem yang hadir di lokasi pelatihan adalah Dr. Murtiningrum, STP., M.Eng, Dr. Ngadisih, STP., M.Sc, Andri Prima Nugroho, STP., M.Agr, PhD dan Hanggar Ganara Mawandha, ST., M.Eng., PhD.
Pelatihan dimulai dari sambutan dari Dr. Murtiningrum selaku perwakilan UGM dan Pak Tri Budi Santoso selaku Kasi Penyuluhan dan Pelatihan mewakili Kepala Dinas Pangan dan Pertanian Kabupaten Bangka. Peserta pelatihan sejumlah 7 orang Penyuluh Pertanian Lapangan (PPL) dan 5 orang ketua kelompok tani dalam naungan Balai Penyuluhan Pertanian (BPP) Sungailiat. Bu Yuli Fitriana selaku staf dari BPP Sungailiat telah mengkoordinasikan pelatihan sehingga dapat berjalan secara lancar meskipun dilakukan secara bauran. Pelatihan berlokasi di Balai Bedeng Ake di kelurahan Sinar Jaya.
Petani dan PPL aktif berdialog dengan narasumber dari Austria dan UGM, terkait peluang arang aktif dalam memperbaiki kondisi tanah di lahan bekas tambang untuk pertanian. Mereka berharap produksi arang aktif bisa dilakukan dalam skala besar, karena limbah pertanian yang berlimpah dan areal pertanian yang relative luas. Teknologi kompor arang aktif yang diperkenalkan oleh UGM dan BOKU sangat sesuai untuk skala rumah tangga, energi panas dari proses pirolisis arang aktif bisa dimanfaatkan untuk memasak makanan/minuman.

On Monday, October 11, 2021, a training on processing agricultural waste, especially cacao pod shell into activated charcoal or biochar, had been held. The training was carried out in a blended method (combination of offline and online). The trainers were from the Natural University of Agriculture and life Science (BOKU) Austria and the Department of Agricultural and Biosystem Engineering (DTPB), Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Universitas Gadjah Mada. The BOKU trainers who provided online materials were Axel Mentler, Dipl.-Ing. Dr.nat.techn, Rebecca Hood-Nowotny, Priv.-Doz. MBA Ph.D, and Katharina Keiblinger, Priv.-Doz. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. A teaching staff of the DTPB UGM who is currently studying for her doctoral degree at BOKU, Rizki Maftukhah, STP., M.Sc, was also present online and delivered material related to her research on agricultural land in ex-tin mining. The trainers from DTPB who presented offline were Dr. Murtiningrum, STP., M.Eng, Dr. Ngadisih, STP., M.Sc, Andri Prima Nugroho, STP., M.Agr, PhD and Hangar Ganara Mawandha, ST., M.Eng., PhD.
The training has started with remarks from Dr. Murtiningrum as UGM representative and Mr. Tri Budi Santoso as Head of Extension and Training representing the Head of the Food and Agriculture Office of Bangka Regency. The training participants were 7 Field Agricultural Extension Officers (PPL) and 5 farmer group leaders under the authority of the Sungailiat Agricultural Extension Center (BPP). Mrs. Yuli Fitriana as staff from BPP Sungailiat has coordinated the training so that it could run well even though it is carried out in a blended method. The training was located at Balai Bedeng Ake in the Sinar Jaya sub-district.
Farmers and PPLs actively engaged in dialogue with resource persons from Austria and UGM, regarding the opportunities for biochar to improve soil conditions in ex-mining land for agriculture. They hope that activated charcoal could be produced on a large scale, because of the abundant agricultural waste and relatively large agricultural area. Activated charcoal stove technology introduced by UGM and BOKU was very suitable for household scale, heat energy from the pyrolysis process of activated charcoal can be used to cook.
