Analysis of laying hen manure to turn electrical energy to meet household energy needs

Laying hen manure has the potential as a renewable energy source through the biogas process. This study aims to analyze the possibility of laying hen manure as a source of electrical energy. The data used in this study came from a farm with a population of 2000 chickens. The research method includes calculating manure production, the potential for biogas produced, and estimating the electrical energy that can be converted from the biogas. The results showed that with 2000 chickens, around 240-300 kg of manure can be produced per day, which has the potential to produce 8.88-11.1 m3 of biogas. The electrical energy that can be made is estimated at 16-20 kWh per day. Thus, laying hen manure can be a sustainable alternative energy source.
