Abstract: Briquettes are an alternative, replenishable energy resource designed to supplant fossil-derived petroleum. Unlike petroleum, briquettes can be renewed in a short period of time. Petroleum is formed from fossils of living creatures for a long time, which is about fifty million years. Briquettes can be made in a short time. The purpose of this study is to find out how to make aromatherapy briquettes from lemongrass and clove plants, as well as to determine the durability of briquettes using lemongrass and clove plants. The design used in this study is in the form of a pure experiment (true experiment). The variables used in this study were the ratio of coconut shell mass to lemongrass and cloves with the type of briquette adhesive in the form of tapioca flour. The stages of this research are in the form of preparing raw materials, carbonization, briquetting, and product analysis. The results of this study were obtained for the moisture content value in the lemongrass sample of 1.38%, ash content of 2.5%, and durability of 27.33kgf. In the clove sample, the moisture content was 1.36%, the ash content was 2.2%, and the durability was 61.22 kgf In the lemongrass and clove mixture sample, the moisture content was 1.31%, the ash content was 2.8%, and the durability was 48.6 kgf.
