The Indonesia Domestic Biogas Programme (IDBP) is implemented by Hivos, in collaboration with the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, and the Netherlands Development Organization (SNV). It was implemented in West Nusa Tenggara and East Java. The project aims to disseminate domestic biogas digesters as a local and sustainable source of energy.

Prior to the implementation of IDBP, many households within the selected project areas were dependent on firewood and expensive fossil fuels (e.g. kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas) for their household energy needs.

450% increase in Time savings

The shift to biogas had several advantages: time saved for cooking; economic savings from reduced purchase of fuel wood and other sources of energy such as kerosene and liquefied gas for cooking; improved health as a result of decreased smoke and dust in the kitchen, and to a lesser extent, an increase in crop and vegetable production as a result of the application of bio slurry on their crop and vegetable plots. The most significant impact of biogas instalment for women is time saved. The project measured a net time savings of 1.1 hours a day for 4452 women biogas users in two project areas of West Nusa Tenggara and East Java
