“…Small-scale anaerobic digestion systems, particularly for household use, efficiently manage on-site organic waste, reducing transportation costs and landfill use [22,23]. These technologies are crucial in addressing energy poverty, especially in developing countries [24], where inadequate access to modern energy conversion methods hinders progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. Vulnerable groups, like women and children, often face exposure to harmful emissions from basic wood fuel combustion techniques [25].…”

Mojokerto City, located in East Java, grapples with a steadily rising waste generation trend accentuated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing data from the National Waste Management Information System (SIPSN) and supplemented with an exhaustive literature review, this study scrutinizes the potential of biodigester technology as a solution to this mounting challenge. Mojokerto's waste, consistent in its composition from 2019 to 2022, is dominated by food waste, making it an ideal candidate for biodigester intervention. The study revealed that existing biodigester facilities in Mojokerto vary in their waste reduction efficiencies yet collectively demonstrate the viability of converting food waste to energy. For instance, the TPS 3R Magersari Berseri facility showcased an impressive waste reduction rate of 85.0%, processing 62.05 tons out of 73 tons of waste received annually. Comparative analyses of other facilities like TPS 3R Pulorejo "Cahaya Berseri" and TPS 3R Muria Berseri were also conducted, revealing varying degrees of efficiency. These facilities underscore the potential of biodigester technology in managing the rising tide of waste and contributing to sustainable energy generation. The findings of this study also call for increased awareness about food conservation, improved waste segregation at the source, and the promotion of composting and other organic waste processing methods, thereby optimizing the overall efficiency of waste management in the city.

“…Animal manure is an ideal feedstock for biogas production because of its high moisture and volatile solids (VS) content, the buffering capacity and its variety of microbial strains (Pilloni and Abu Hamed 2021). However, animal manure lacks carbohydrates thus can slow digestion and can generate voluminous ammonia concentrations, which are unfavourable for methanogens.…”

Livestock production has undergone an industrial revolution over the past few decades. This has resulted in the enormous generation of livestock manure, particularly in agro-pastoral systems. Agricultural productivity in these systems largely depends on livestock manure. However, some of these communities are struggling with goat manure disposal. In addition, livestock manure requires proper treatment before application to agricultural land, because it contains toxic heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms. The review aimed to demonstrate that poor manure management has environmental consequences; thus, interventions that will promote local community livelihood benefits from animal wastes are germane. In many other communities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), horticulture or crop production is minimal, due to erratic rainfall hence, most of the manure lies idle in abandoned kraal pens or is heaped outside the pens with no designed plan. Manure should be viewed as a resource, rather than a waste product. The environmental consequences associated with such manure management are not known and should be probed further. Deliberate efforts to explore the land and environmental risks associated with the non-use of livestock manure are germane to promoting environmental stewardship. The use of manure as feedstock for anaerobic digesters offers the greatest potential for sustainable management in SSA.

The aim of the study is to present the possibilities of simultaneous production of green energy and reduction of pollution in rural areas. Actions taken by small family businesses are in line with the goals of a low-carbon economy. The paper presents the results of research on the possibility of using ecological energy for production and, at the same time, utilizing harmful waste generated in farms in rural areas. Within a month, a medium-sized biogas plant can produce about 35–40 GJ of energy (depending on the input material). Biogas production may be of significant importance from the point of view of environmental protection, especially in the case of overproduction of animal waste and slaughterhouse materials. The production and use of energy generated from agricultural waste give a great opportunity for diversification and an increase in income of family farms. In addition to financial, energy, and environmental gains, we can obtain a very valuable fertilizer that is easily absorbed by plants in field cultivation. Energy efficiency is an important parameter in biogas production. The possibility of reducing pollution in rural areas and the possibility of using digestate as a fertilizer and an innovative addition to biocomposites.
