Abstract

Biogas digesters are a renewable energy solution for households in Indiaized Indonesian villages, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional cooking fuels. A mixed-methods approach incorporating surveys and focus groups was employed to assess community attitudes and behaviors towards the installation and use of biogas digesters. Community acceptance varied significantly (p < 0.05), with a 72% adoption rate in villages where households reported higher income levels, suggesting economic factors influence uptake. Higher socio-economic status correlates with increased community acceptance and adoption of biogas digesters, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to promote sustainable energy solutions among disadvantaged populations. Targeted educational programmes should focus on promoting awareness and understanding of biogas digesters' benefits in low-income communities, complemented by financial incentives to facilitate wider adoption. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
