34 This research is consists of two main topics, first is production of activated carbon from Indonesian sub bituminous coal as raw material. The raw material is from East of Kalimantan and Riau sub bituminous coal. And secondly is adsorption isotherms carbon dioxide and methane on activated carbon. Activated carbon was produced in laboratory with physical activation method by carbon dioxide as activating agent up to 950o C. Iodine number and surface area was used to characterize of activated carbon quality. From the research, the quality of activated carbon from East of Kalimantan sub bituminous coal is better than Riau sub bituminous coal. It caused the ratio of oxygen and carbon in from East of Kalimantan sub bituminous coal is higher than Riau sub bituminous coal. The maximum iodine number of activated carbon from Riau sub bituminous coal is 589.1 ml/g and activated carbon from East of Kalimantan sub bituminous coal is 879 ml/g. Adsorption isotherms carbon dioxide and methane on activated carbon from East of Kalimantan and Riau sub bituminous coal and commercial activated carbon was done in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Laboratory, Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Indonesia. Adsorption isotherms were done by volumetric method with variation of temperature is 27, 35, 45, and 65o C and the pressure
