Indonesia to mass produce biogas energy

The Indonesia Chamber of Trade and Industry (Kadin) is certain the development of biogas energy will increase rural welfare. “The public could enjoy cheap energy,” said Gunadi Sindhuwinata, the chairman of metal, machinery, electronics and transportation equipment sectors at Kadin, said in Jakarta yesterday.

Kadin plans to develop biogas in a number of underdeveloped villages, such as Lembang in Bandung and other areas in Bali and West Kalimantan. Kadin will provide human resources, equipment and the capital to support the program.






The program will involve all elements of the society, such as an environmental organization and academics. Gunadi said he hoped the government would play a significant role in the program. “Especially because quite a big fund is needed,” he said.

Deputy chairman of environment and climate change at Kadin, Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, also proposed that companies under Kadin prepare funds. The fund collection will be discussed at a special meeting to discuss the program in the future. “This is so all parties will be able to participate in the program,” noted Shinta.More
