Abstract

Renewable energy sources need to be continuously developed to reduce the availability of fossil fuels that are increasingly depleted. Biogas is one of the alternative energies that promises a future by utilizing organic waste such as animal waste (cow dung). Processing  animal waste as cow dung as a raw material for biogas can use continuous and batch type biodigesters. The method used in the study consisted of a literature study on biogas production using small-scale batch biodigesters with a portable design. The system in the reactor was designed anaerobically using cow dung with the addition of molasses. In this study, cow dung was mixed with air and molasses in a ratio of 2:1, then the fermentation process was carried out in a closed batch reactor. The results showed a significant increase in biogas pressure for 15 days, with the maximum pressure recorded on the 12th day of 101334.81N/m2 and decreased on the 15th day of 101295.57 N/m2. The increase that occurred during the entire fermentation process was stated to be fluctuating, this was influenced by environmental conditions. Based on the research results, it was stated that cow dung has the potential to be used as a renewable energy source that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and support environmental sustainability.
