Abstract

Environmental pollution caused by untreated cattle rumen content (CRC) waste at the Kaliwates Slaughterhouse (RPH) in Jember Regency necessitates the implementation of an appropriate and eco-friendly technological solution. This community service program aims to utilize a biodigester system to convert CRC waste into renewable energy and organic fertilizer. The program was carried out using a participatory approach, incorporating Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum framework. Activities included benchmarking, the construction and installation of a fixed dome-type biodigester with a capacity of 7.5 m³, processing of biogas sludge into compost, system operation training, household entrepreneurship development, and program monitoring and evaluation. The installed biodigester successfully produced approximately 1.875 m³ of biogas per day, which was used for lighting and cooking fuel by surrounding households. Additionally, about 150 kg of sludge was processed daily into high-quality compost. This program produced significant ecological benefits by reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, while also generating economic value through energy savings and increased household income. All targeted program outcomes were achieved, demonstrating the effectiveness of this model in promoting environmental sustainability, energy resilience, and community empowerment. Thus, this integrated biodigester system holds great potential for national replication as a sustainable solution for livestock waste management in Indonesia.
