- Abstract
High use of energy in Indonesia becomes one of issues encouraging innovation to create energy that is easily obtained and can be renewable sources. In addition, the use of energy derived from fossils has a negative effect on the environment such as global warming. Biogas is an alternative energy used to reduce the use of energy derived from fossils. Due to high content of biogas in form of methane (CH4) and its calorific value is quite high. Making biogas can be said to be cheap because it utilizes anaerobically fermented biomass. Utilization of biomass into biogas can support a new and renewable energy sources. One of the wastes used as raw material for biogas production is cow manure. This research is intended to obtain biogas with high methane gas content and calorific value. Fermentation time is a very important variable in the formation of biogas. The fermentation time parameters were carried out at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 days. The biogas formed was analyzed for the content of methane gas and its calorific value. Based on the results of the study, the optimal biogas fermentation time occurred on the 25th day, the methane gas content was 54.16% with an optimal heating value of 22.20 MJ/m3 for HHV and 19.80 MJ/m3 for LHV.
