ANALISIS POTENSI BIOGAS DARI LIMBAH KOTORAN SAPI DI KABUPATEN DAN KOTA SUKABUMI

One of the side businesses in Indonesia is raising cattle with an ownership scale ranging from 3-4 heads per household, as well as Sukabumi which has a fairly high cattle breeding value of 28,729 heads. This research aims to: (1) determine the potential of biogas from cow dung ( 2) to find out the comparison/classification of biogas potential per sub-district, (3) to find out the equivalence of biogas energy with 3kg LPG in Sukabumi Regency and City, and (4) to find out the level of satisfaction of users of digital maps of biogas potential from cow dung waste in Regency and City Sukabumi. Literature studies are used as a reference for the theoretical basis of this research. The potential for cow dung in Sukabumi Regency and City can be classified into 3 categories, namely low, medium and high. Of the 54 sub-districts in Sukabumi Regency and City, there are 14 sub-districts in the high category, one of which is Ciracap District, there are 40 sub-districts in the medium and low categories, one of which is Gegerbitung District and Nagrak District. And the biogas equivalent of cow dung waste in Sukabumi Regency and City reached 2643.1 kg⁄m^3 of biogas produced, which is equivalent to 881 LPG cylinders/day. The highest biogas equivalent is in Ciracap District with a value of 370.2 kg⁄m^3, while the lowest is in Warudoyong District where the equivalent is (1.9 kg)⁄m^3. Meanwhile, the biogas equivalent in Sukabumi City reaches 70. 1( kg)⁄m^3 is equivalent to 23 LPG cylinders/day, Sukabumi Regency reaches 2573.0 kg⁄m^3 equivalent to 858 LPG cylinders/day. This digital map of biogas potential is part of this thesis. This digital map was tested in 3 categories, namely Breeders, Government Institutions and Students, from 35 respondents for each category by sharing the link https://petabiogassukabumi.com/ and then respondents filled out a questionnaire by answering 6 questions. The results of filling out the questionnaire from all categories were obtained with a user satisfaction test score of >88.4%. This shows that the digital map usage test was deemed satisfactory based on the level of user satisfaction and the function of the digital map.
