ABSTRACT
The study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using livestock waste as an alternative energy source in Muna Regency. The research was carried out through a survey conducted in 112 villages across 22 sub-districts, involving 1207 respondents over a period of six months. The research results revealed that the raw materials available in Muna Regency can be used in building biogas installations at a household level. A total of 17,921 units can be built, but only 549 units can be constructed due to the availability of supporting facilities such as livestock pens. The study also found that farmers in Muna Regency have not been utilizing livestock waste and waste for alternative energy or fertilizer production. In conclusion, the research shows that there is a significant potential for using livestock waste as an alternative energy source in Muna Regency.
