<![CDATA[The increase in population impacts several environmental sectors, particularly the use of natural gas energy for household needs, such as LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). This has resulted in the depletion of natural gas reserves and a rise in LPG imports. Additionally, the growing population contributes to the accumulation of household waste, which can lead to excessive leachate production and greenhouse gas emissions. This issue is particularly concerning in developing countries like Indonesia due to its negative environmental impact. This research aims to provide a solution and contribute to reducing household waste accumulation by utilizing organic waste to create renewable energy in the form of biogas as an alternative to LPG. Biogas is produced through the fermentation of organic waste. Nutrient-rich fluids containing sugar can enhance the performance of methanogenic bacteria in biogas formation. In this study, we conducted nutritional testing on molasses and coconut water to determine which nutrients optimize biogas production efficiency by monitoring the pressure of the generated biogas. Generally, biogas comprises methane and carbon dioxide. It is important to note that excessive methane can lead to explosions, while high carbon dioxide levels contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. The quantities of methane and carbon dioxide produced during biogas generation can be influenced by temperature and humidity. Therefore, monitoring pressure, temperature, humidity, methane, and carbon dioxide levels in the biogas production process using the Internet of Things (IoT) is a prudent approach. The results indicate that a substrate mixed with molasses produces biogas at twice the pressure compared to coconut water. Furthermore, optimal biogas production with ideal methane and carbon dioxide levels, occurs at temperatures between 25-35°C under high humidity conditions. This suggests that mesophilic methanogenic bacteria thrive in tropical climates.]]>
