ABSTRACT
In North Sulawesi has been known a very potential crop for yielding bio ethanol, is palm crop. Palm crops more productive than cane
in yielding sugar and biofuel per hectare. Its productivity about 4 - 8 times compared to cane, and its sugar rendement 14%, while
cane only 7%. Based on this research were obtained the tapping process should be conducted by unique sequential steps in order to
reach pH 8 and sugar concentration (brix) 12 – 14 % of juice. Alcohol is a chemical was produced from crops like cassava, corn, sago
and was usually named as bio ethanol. Cassava, corn and sago is food crops which is ordinary to be planted by people almost in all
Indonesia region, but in North Sulawesi Province were very potential crops and have some excellences compared to other crops in
yielding bioethanol, that is palm crops. The tap is a good substance for alcohol fermentation due to its high sugar and low ash
contents.
