| Abstract | Currently, PT PGE Lahendong is generating 120 MW of power electricity to meet the needs of energy for people of North Sulawesi. Despite it is the main purposes for power generation, then geothermal energy also can be used for direct use such as drying of palm sugar. By utilizing the remaining heat contained in geothermal brine with temperature around 184 degC, it will subtitute conventional raw materials in aim to acquire a heating process for drying palm sugar, so it will be environmentally friendly and has a graet impact on the community empowerment. PT PGE has been collaborated with Masarang foundation in drying palm sugar since 2006 until now. |
