 THE FACTS…

 The number of citizen always increase.

 5,2 billions in 1990 approximately will
increase up to 10 billions in 2040.
 Welfare economic growth
development resources
 Limitation of the energy sources.
Biogas Energy From Cow Manure in Ngaringan

 Large population in Grobogan

Regency.
 Top-down policy bottom-up
policy.
 Target Actor
Next…

 Grobogan is an agricultural area with the

majority people making living as farmers.

improvement in irrigation, fertilizer distribution
and local culture maintenance under mutual
co-operation in a social community.
 Farmer union (agricultural management)

Use of Disposals (Manure) for Biogas
Alternative Energy

 Training and education events (such as,

comparative study).
 Applicable technology of cow utilization.
 The people refused the government policy
(grants) because it has potency of conflict.
 Communal biogas processor individual
for each family.

 Supporting and Inhibiting Factors

Supporting Factors Inhibiting Factors

- easy and simple technology - not all biogas users have technical skills
- richness of energy resource (cow so that additional personnel are needed.
manure). - biogas machines are relatively expensive
- some union members have technical for individual scope (5-7 millions rupiah
skills necessary for resolving problems per unit according to the size).
related to biogas management.
- positive response of the local people.
- assistance and support from local
government.
- free equipments and biogas stoves from
local government.
- the instruments are easily reparable
should they are damaged or leaked.
The Comparison Between Biogas and
Other Fuels

Fuels Price Endurance

Fossil Oil 7000 / liter 3 days

LPG 13.500 / small 7 days

tube / 3 kg
Biogas 2 pails of cow 5 hours
manure
The Potency of Cow Manure as Biogas
for the Future Alternative Energy

 Biogas as alternative energy still unpopular

but it has a promising prospect for the future
development.
