This paper describes the maximum compressive strength of solid fuel named Biocoke tested in two temperature: room temperature and high temperature (700ºC). The sample of Biocoke were made from two different raw materials; palm leaves and coconut shell collected from Malaysia, which is categorized as biomass waste from agriculture industry. In recent years, coal coke has been decline due to the demand from many countries over the world which is commonly used as a solid fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. So, in order to substitute the usage of coal coke in the future, biocoke was developed. The results shows the comparison by maximum compressive strength of Mixed Biocoke in room temperature and high temperature. The experiment was conducted using compression testing machine (SHIMADZU, AG-300kNX).
