Eastern Indonesia has a high percentage of poor and rural communities that use firewood for cooking, leading to environmental pollution and a lower life expectancy. Implementation of sustainable biogas can provide clean energy and improve air quality.

The aim of this IKI Small Grants project is to support a large-scale and self-sustained market development for affordable small biogas applications (biodigesters) in the rural regions of Eastern Indonesia. By 2025, it aims to establish 80 biogas plants, implement a marketing and monitoring system for farmers in three villages, and devise a financing and policy plan. The project’s main target groups are farming communities, cooperatives, and organisations in rural Indonesia.

Additionally, the project seeks to support biogas plant initiatives nationwide by 2030, utilising technical improvements, certification, training, dialogues, and recommendations to national planning authorities to raise awareness and enhance their implementation.

Capacity development

IKI Small Grants supports Su-re in their organisational capacity development through:

Participation in the World Bioeconomy Forum
Organisational Development Training
Participation in exchange workshops with other mass-production biogas organisations

As a do-tank, they work directly with national and local policymakers, smallholder farmer communities, and international organizations while simultaneously creating a business at grand through climate smart products such as coffee, cocoa, and biogas. su-re.co generates insights to helping the public and private sector working together on tackling climate change.
