Abstract

National energy sources are still based on non-renewable fossil-based feedstocks, so new breakthroughs needed to develop renewable energy such as biogas.
This research was conducted in Pelambian Hamlet, Salusopai Village, North Toraja District, South Sulawesi Province, aimed to analyze the potential and benefits of biogas energy development from pig waste and to formulate its development strategy. The data was collected through questionnaires and interviews to Pelambian villagers to know the description of farms and energy needs.
The result of biogas energy potential analysis based on dry matter content of 79 pigs dung is 274,95 m3/month or equal to 126,48 kg Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG)/month. Using SWAT analysis, a strategy was developed to develop biogas energy from pig waste in the research sites, to build biogas installations, optimize the use of slurry as fertilizer, construct fixed-dome digesters of concrete, optimize existing pigs, maximize absorption of DAK (Dana Alokasi Khusus) in accordance with existing regulations, conducting socialization and training of biogas installation, making and strengthening pig farmers group in Dusun Pelambian
