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.  Farmer union accommodate farmers interest and need in mutual collaboration towards goal : enhancement of the farmers welfare.

Next…  Farmer

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

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 easy and simple technology - richness of energy resource (cow manure). - some union members have technical skills necessary for resolving problems 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. -

Inhibiting Factors not all biogas users have technical skills so that additional personnel are needed. - biogas machines are relatively expensive for individual scope (5-7 millions rupiah per unit according to the size). -
