Jakarta, October 11, 2024 – The Indonesian Coconut Charcoal Briquette Entrepreneurs Association (HIPBAKI) appeared as one of the leading exhibitors at the Trade Expo Indonesia (TEI) 2024, which took place on October 9-12, 2024 at the Indonesia Convention Exhibition (ICE) BSD City, Tangerang. In this prestigious event, HIPBAKI came with the theme “The Biggest Charcoal in your countries comes from us” HIPBAKI shows its commitment to promoting high-quality coconut charcoal briquette products, while demonstrating its contribution to the development of Indonesia’s renewable energy industry.
Introducing Coconut Charcoal Briquettes as an Environmentally Friendly Energy Source
As an organization that houses coconut charcoal briquette entrepreneurs, HIPBAKI uses Trade Expo Indonesia 2024 as a platform to promote environmentally friendly coconut charcoal briquette products. In recent years, coconut charcoal briquettes have become one of the increasingly popular alternative energy solutions, both in the domestic and international markets, thanks to their cleaner and more environmentally friendly nature compared to fossil fuels or wood charcoal.
Coconut charcoal briquettes, made from coconut shells, are one of the leading products that are very relevant to the global trend that increasingly emphasizes the importance of sustainability and reducing carbon emissions. During the exhibition, in addition to reintroducing the main product of Coconut Charcoal Briquettes currently as fuel for Shisha, HIPBAKI also verbally voiced various types of coconut charcoal briquettes, ranging from briquettes for household use to large industries that require clean energy sources in their production processes.
HIPBAKI Executive Director, Mr. Bagus Widiasmara Dewa, said, “Trade Expo Indonesia 2024 is an extraordinary opportunity for us to show the great potential of Indonesian coconut charcoal briquettes. We want the world to know that Indonesia is not only rich in natural resources, but also has great potential to produce environmentally friendly energy. We hope that Indonesian coconut charcoal briquette products can be increasingly recognized in the international market. Moreover, in fact, Indonesian coconut charcoal briquettes are endemic products from Indonesia, and for decades we have dominated the briquette market as a heating fuel for Shisha throughout the world, by using briquettes or biomass materials made from coconut shells, we can save the World Forest, because in the future there will be no need to cut down trees to be used as heating fuel, and maybe this coconut charcoal briquette can be one solution to this problem.”
Raising Global Awareness of Renewable Energy
One of HIPBAKI’s main objectives in participating in TEI 2024 is to raise global awareness about the benefits of coconut charcoal briquettes as a renewable energy source that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels. With the global market shifting towards more sustainable products, Indonesian coconut charcoal briquettes are a very attractive option for consumers and industries looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
In addition to showcasing products, HIPBAKI is also actively sharing knowledge about the environmentally friendly coconut charcoal briquette making process. In a presentation session held at their booth, visitors can learn more about how to make briquettes from coconut shells, which involves an efficient process and reduces waste.
“Our products are not only useful for energy needs, but also support the circular economy by utilizing abundant coconut waste. This is an example of how Indonesia can utilize natural resources optimally and sustainably,” added Bagus Widiasmara Dewa.
Growing Export Network and Business Collaboration
Trade Expo Indonesia 2024 also opens up great opportunities for HIPBAKI to expand its business network. With the presence of many international buyers from various sectors, from the manufacturing industry to the energy sector, HIPBAKI hopes to establish strategic cooperation and increase exports of coconut charcoal briquettes to the global market. In this exhibition, HIPBAKI received many requests from countries that are very interested in Indonesian coconut charcoal briquettes products, such as Yemen, Turkey, and countries in Europe. The advantages of Indonesian products that have high quality and competitive prices, coupled with added value in the form of environmentally friendly advantages, further strengthen Indonesia’s position as a major supplier of coconut charcoal briquettes in the world market.
Focus on Empowering Local Industries
Not only export-oriented, HIPBAKI also emphasizes the importance of empowering coconut charcoal briquette entrepreneurs in Indonesia. In the exhibition, HIPBAKI members consisting of local coconut charcoal briquette producers took this opportunity to share experiences and increase their production capacity through technology transfer and collaboration with international parties.
“One of our main focuses is to strengthen the domestic coconut charcoal briquette industry. We want to ensure that these briquette producers can penetrate the international market with sustainable quality, so that they are favored by the international market and increase capacity so that they can open up employment opportunities for the surrounding community,” said Bagus Widiasmara Dewa.
Enhancing Sustainability through Innovation
HIPBAKI is also committed to continuing to innovate to improve the quality and sustainability of coconut charcoal briquette products. In recent years, product development has been carried out with various variants and sizes, as well as more environmentally friendly production technology, to meet the increasingly diverse needs of consumers.
“One of the biggest challenges in the energy industry is to meet market demand without sacrificing environmental sustainability. We believe that innovation in coconut charcoal briquette technology and production processes is key to ensuring that our products can meet international standards and maintain sustainability,” concluded Bagus Widiasmara Dewa.
Hope for a Greener Future
With HIPBAKI’s participation in Trade Expo Indonesia 2024, the hope is that Indonesian coconut charcoal briquettes can become one of the renewable energy commodities that are better known and appreciated in the global market. With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and community empowerment, HIPBAKI hopes to make a significant contribution to the world’s transition to greener and more environmentally friendly energy.
