Abstract

The development of biogas in community settlements is now very much needed. It is since people’s uses of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) are very high but are not matched by its availability. Many areas in the Special Region of Yogyakarta are starting to switch to using renewable energy, biogas, for cooking. The utilization of biogas is now not only for rural communities but has penetrated urban communities. In Cangkringan Subdistrict, Sleman, many people have switched to using biogas as a substitute for LPG. However, many farmers still have not utilized livestock manure as alternative energy, namely biogas. In reality, many of the reasons people have not used livestock manure for alternative energy are due to a lack of knowledge about biogas. Besides, the beginning of biogas production starts in rural areas as, in rural settlements, many breeders have livestock, and rural areas are appropriate for farmers to raise livestock to plow fields. Lastly, urban areas have vital areas where biogas utilization is very difficult. Nevertheless, many apartments and even large companies have now switched to using alternative energy such as solar cells and even biogas.
