The growing demand for sustainable waste management and alternative energy solutions
emphasizes the need for systems capable of converting biodegradable food waste into
usable fuel. This study presents the development of a biomass E-Burner that utilizes biogas
derived from biodegradable food waste for household cooking applications. The system
incorporates an electronic ignition mechanism and integrated safety features, including
flame detection and gas leak sensors, to improve operational safety and reliability.
Performance testing was conducted under controlled indoor and outdoor conditions in
accordance with ISO 23550:2021, which specifies safety and performance requirements
for gas burners and gas-burning appliances. The evaluation focused on ignition rate and
sensor responsiveness using t-test methods. Results show that the developed E-Burner
achieved a mean ignition time of 1.32 seconds, compared to 1.28 seconds for the
conventional gas burner, indicating comparable ignition performance. The flame sensor
demonstrated a mean response time of 1.49 seconds indoors and 1.52 seconds outdoors,
while the gas leak sensor responded within 1.27 seconds indoors and 1.48 seconds
outdoors. These findings confirm that the developed system satisfies the required safety

and performance criteria and demonstrates reliable operational efficiency. The biomass E-
Burner is therefore a viable and safe alternative cooking solution that supports sustainable

energy utilization.
