 The early history of the discovery of biogas in Europe originally appeared on the continent. Biogas is produced from anaerobic digestion processes found in a scientist named Alessandro Volta who conducted research on the gas which issued the swamp in 1770. Gas from the swamp are identified as methane gas.

In its development, in the year 1875 is that biogas is a product of anaerobic digestion processes. Subsequently, in 1884 a scientist named Pasteour other biogas challenged conduct research using animal waste mediation. Pasteour research that is the foundation for research into biogas to the present.


Development of biogas have ups and downs, like in the late 19th century Germany and France recorded utilizing agricultural waste into several units of power from biogas. During World War II, many farmers in the UK and other European continent makes small digesters to produce biogas. However, during its development because fuel prices are becoming less expensive and easy to obtain, in the 1950s the use of biogas in Europe is becoming obsolete.

If the era of the 1950s, Europeans began to leave and switch to fuel biogas, the opposite is actually happening in developing countries like India and China who need cheap and available energy. China's use of biogas technology with the scale of households that have been utilized by nearly a third of households in rural China. Biogas development in China can be said to experience significant growth, in 1992 approximately five million households use biogas installation of biogas into fuel so that the main portion of the population of China.

As expressed by Prof. Li Kangmin and Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, director of the The Institute of Science in Society, biogas is the heart of the growing eco-economy in China, but several obstacles must be resolved to achieve greater potential.

Similar developments also occurred in India, in 1981 began to develop biogas installations in India. Technique used together with biogas biogas technique developed in China that is using the model and the well wall with the drums as well as raw material with cattle dung and agricultural wastes. Carrying about three million households in India use biogas installations in 1999.

Stepping into the 21st century when aware of the need for replacement of fossil fuel energy, in various countries began to use as a new renewable energy, one of biogas. There was also a superpower like the United States showed particular concern for the development of biogas. In fact, the United States Department of Energy provided funds amounting to U.S. $ 2.5 million for the development of biogas in California.

While in Indonesia, signed in biogas technology in the 1970s which begins in rural development. Nowadays biogas is one of a new type of renewable energy is a concern for the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, as indicated by the Minister of Energy Darwin Zahedy Saleh took to conduct a working visit to the village of Self-Energy in the village Hourngombong, Sumedang. Minister of Energy promised to provide assistance to develop the energy potential which although looks small, but the impact is very big for the fulfillment of energy in Indonesia, particularly for rural communities Hourngombong.

"At the moment the government strives to reach out electricity to remote villages, it is expected that villages that have not been able to enjoy the flow of electricity can also take advantage of and use of renewable energy such as biogas technology", said Minister of Energy Darwin Zahedy Saleh.
