TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Makassar Animal Husbandry, Fishery and Marine Affairs Agency (DKP3) is planning a break through biogas development out of cattle’s manure. Makassar DKP3 Head Abdul Rahman Bando said on Thursday that the biogas will be converted into electric and heat energy.
According to Abdul Rahman, a trial project is in progress by the Agriculture Campaign Station (BPP), Makassar.
“They have succeeded in powering up lightings in the cattle cage and a guard post using manure produced by three cows,” explained Abdul.
Rahman plan to implement the biogas project at the Animal Slaughter House (RPH) Tamangapa. There are 60 to 100 cattle that will be able to produce biogas enough for 300 families around the slaughter house.
