“…SIA and SROI focus and emphasizes on the need to measure value from the bottom up, including the perspective of different stakeholders. Hence, there is a novelty issue for biogas project as most previous studies about biogas were focused on technical, economic, environmental and policy issues [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The SROI value more than 1 may not presents the high or acceptable benefits of the project like benefit cost ratio of cost benefit analysis.…”

Abstract. Small scale biogas plants were established at existing lands of seven small size schools at three provinces in lower northern part of Thailand. The successful experience of a small school at Khaonoi was used to implement this project, where food waste and animal dung have been used to produce biogas which replaced LPG used to cook lunch for students. After the successful implementation of project, these sites were used to train/ demonstrate the concerned from about 1,717 small size schools in target areas. The proposed project is conceived to open new venues in promoting and implementing Renewable Energy Technology. The establishment of university (R&D) to school/ community(end user) relationship is very important aspect of the idea, which not only be perfect to implement the project smoothly but will create new ways to collect feedback and solve the issues immediately. Project sites being distributive in nature and community participated will act as a RE promotion hubs. The technology used is simple and all the materials involved are local. The project though has comparatively lower direct financial benefits, but has tremendous social,environmental and health related benefits. The reduction of CO 2 and other GHG will not only be beneficial locally but will contribute in achieving the globally fixed targets. Community participation will be an added benefit to promote and expand the RE technologies among the masses over wide areas. The successful operation will be a strong message for visitors and the local community connected through their children with the school and hence project. The university level R&D will get a way out for direct implementation and technology will be used for the betterment of communities and will participate in global efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions as well.

“…In this way, a quantitative accounting may be set up, thanks to the definition of suitable indicators able to describe the various aspects of the system at issue, pointing out its mode of operation and thus the possible leverage points, criticalities, sustainability and resilience. Emergy analysis was successfully applied to quite a wide range of systems, from the whole geobiosphere ( Odum, 1996) to human communities ( Lei, Wang & Ton, 2008;Listyawati, Meidiana & Anggraeni, 2014), Countries ( Geng et al, 2013), productive sectors ( Viglia et al, 2011), ecosystems ( Franzese, Brown & Ulgiati, 2014), social sectors ( Campbell, Lu & Kolb, 2010), industrial plants ( Geng et al, 2010), economic processes ( Brown, Cohen & Sweeney, 2009;Brown & Ulgiati, 2011;Campbell & Tilley, 2014). By accounting for all the investments, emergy analysis is in principle suitable to be applied to the description of a whole system as well as of any of its subsystems, at the same time without losing the information on the entirety, in so overcoming the bias of several analyses focused on specific aspects such as the economic, environmental or social ones.…”

Emergy (spelled with an “m”) analysis is a method for environmental and systemic accounting in terms of sustainability and quality of resources used for a product, service or process. In this paper, it is applied to the assault rifles projectiles used in war battlefields. The specific emergy is evaluated in terms of sej/bullet, pointing out the upstream investment made by both the environment and the human society to produce the bullet in its operating war conditions. Comparison is made with alternative uses of the same resources when addressed to the support of development and wellbeing

“…Since cost of biogas constructions is unaffordable for traditional dairy farmers, lack of funding becomes main reason for potential biogas users to reject adopting biogas (Listyawati, Meidiana, & Anggraeni 2014). Without considering the interest of investment, the simple pay-back period of biogas investment in Indonesia is 4-6 years (Widodoet al 2009;Rosyidi et al 2014) or even the investment is not able to meet economic feasibility (Budiarto et al 2013).…”

Biogas plays an important role in supporting and ensuring the dairy farming sector remains sustainable. Biogas technology is not only as a method to dispose dairy farming waste but also benefiting economically, socially and environmentally. Biogas technology has been introduced since 1970s and many biogas programmes have been implemented in Indonesia. However compare to other countries like China and India, the dissemination of biogas technology in Indonesia runs quite slowly. There are several factors such as financial, policies and people's perception hindering biogas use regarding the increase of biogas plants installed in Indonesia. In addition, many installed biogas plants are non-functional due to inadequate maintenance causing users stop to operate biogas plants and influencing potential users to reject adopting the technology. This paper provides an overview of biogas production sustainability which consists of five sustainability dimensions: technical, economic, social, environmental and organizational/institutional sustainability. Understanding the biogas sustainability helps stakeholders to realize that in order to promote biogas technology many sectors must be developed and many institutions must be involved and cooperated. The sustainability of biogas will determine the success of biogas dissemination particularly in dairy farming in the future.
