"There will be 50 bio-gas plants for individual use in residents houses, while four communal reactors will be used to fire up several houses," Bukit Harapan Village Head Ahmad Mundir said here Sunday.
The locals were cooperating with Mitra Insani Foundation for the bio-gas plant construction, financially supported by the Energy and Environmental Partnership (EEP) of Finland. Mundir said most of the 312 families in the village were oil palm farmers as well as cow breeders.
The local farmers was assisted by Mitra Insani Foundation to develop non-grass cattle feed from mashed oil palm midrib and leaves.
"Each reactor has a capacity to fuel a gas stove for four hours a day," spokesperson of Mitra Insani Foundation Moelyadi said.
Executive Director of Mitra Insani Foundation Zainuri Hasyim said the residents were also given training for bio-gas plant construction and its maintenance. The program was scheduled to finish this year. (IGT)
