This study aims to overcome the impact of increased air pollution due to an increase in the number of motor vehicles, especially due to dependence on fuel oil. The focus of research is the use of banana peels as activated carbon to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions in the hope of providing environmentally friendly alternative solutions to reduce air pollution, utilizing the adsorption properties of banana peels, and using biogasoline to overcome potential fuel crises. The experimental method was used to test the effect of an activated carbon catalytic converter made from banana peel with biogasoline fuel on motorcycle exhaust emissions. The test results showed that the use of catalytic converters with biogasoline fuel tended to reduce carbon monoxide (CO) levels by an average of 18%, compared to standard conditions with pertalite fuel. The results of the Paired Samples T-Test showed a strong correlation with a value of 0.967 and a significance level of 0.033, where a small value of 0.05 means statistically significant.
