You can easily see Dr Neni Sintawardani is a true scientist who’s dedicated to the field. She said that the technology is not patented, so there’s no reasons for these plants not to be built all around Indonesia.

8:10 after she said "we have nothing to hide", she also said "we didn't patent this technology". But it didn't get translated. That's the most important takeaway here. No excuses for the Indonesian government.

As mentioned before, building biogas facilities in separated areas in Indonesia is a big challenge. And not all people could accept to convert to biogas, including i and my Mom. We're not sure, especially about the security of the pipeline.

I'm not sure how the cooking gas distribution works in indonesia but if erratic timings is an issue in households with respect to biogas from tofu, gas cylinders could be a good alternative instead of pipelines... In india, in a number of households gas cylinders are still being used. It might take up a little more time and energy but save the family from the erratic cooking hrs problem and make more people adapt it.

Interesting. How does the cost of the biogas compare to other fuel sources?

There should be no waste from making tofu. The liquid whey can be used in cooking. The okara can be used in cooking. The initial soaking water can be used for cleaning.
