| Summary: | The production of hydrogen gas as an alternative fuel cell which is a renewable energy, is now in great demand by utilizing waste aluminum beverage cans and added water using NaOH catalyst by electrolysis process. The research method will be carried out by inserting 1 gram of aluminum pieces into a tube and 300 ml of distilled water followed by a NaOH catalyst. Both faucets are opened to release air during the filling process. The faucet is closed when the height of the solution in both tubes is the same. Then turn on the DC flow, then adjust the voltage according to the variable. The filling period is recorded until the specified reaction time. The results of the gas volume obtained are recorded, and the hydrogen obtained is determined by the flame test. From the research it can be concluded that the hydrogen gas produced from the reaction can be identified by means of a flame test. The characteristics of hydrogen gas appear in flames which tend to disappear in the air. At Al 5 gr Weight : 5 M NaOH concentration is the largest volume of hydrogen. The reaction time of 150 minutes will produce a lot of hydrogen gas. The largest volume of hydrogen gas lies at a voltage of 20 volts.
