Energy Independent Village (EIV) is a village where the community can meet more than 60% of electricity and fuel needs from energy sources generated through the utilization of the potential of local resources both to meet energy needs and productive activities. Biogas technology from the results of cow manure processing is very simple, so it is very easy to be adopted and implemented by the community who own cattle. All breeders and farmers in the village of Karangjoho, Klaten, Indonesia have not optimized the processing of livestock manure at all. So far, most of the manure waste that has been collected and dumped into the river, even though the number of cattle farmers in Karangjoho village there are approximately 100 people with an average number of cattle 2-5 cows per person. The processing of livestock waste, especially cattle, needs to be optimized as an alternative energy source in the form of biogas for stove fuel and fuel for biogas power plants. The results of the biogas reactor design were built with a volume capacity of 6 m3. The volume capacity of the gas produced is 2/3 of the total capacity of the digester or 4 m3. With a volume of 4 m3, 3-5 households/day can be used for biogas stoves. When used for conversion into electrical energy to 3000-3500 Watthour/day. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
