Biogas Energy Prediction as a Green Energy Producer in West Lombok Using a Statistical Approach

Abstract

The use of green energy is increasingly becoming a major concern in efforts to achieve energy sustainability. One of the renewable energy sources that has great potential is biogas, which is produced from the processing of organic waste. This study aims to analyze and predict the potential of biogas energy as a green energy producer in West Lombok using a statistical approach. The data used include the amount of available organic waste, biogas production capacity, and factors that influence energy conversion efficiency. The statistical methods applied include linear regression, historical trend analysis, and predictive modeling to estimate the potential energy that can be produced in the long term. The results of the study indicate that biogas production in West Lombok has significant prospects, with the potential to contribute to a green energy system that can reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Based on the results, the potential for green energy around 450-600 MWh per year in West Lombok and technology scale can increase an efficiency up to 60-80%. This study can be the basis for policy making in encouraging the use of biogas energy as part of the transition to sustainable energy in the region.
