I. Background
Yayasan Rumah Energi (YRE) was established in 2012 in the social and
humanitarian fields . The organization is mandated to contribute to poverty
alleviation, strengthening the livelihood of grassroots’ communities,
adaptation and mitigation to climate change and assisting in disaster risk
reduction through innovation and shared knowledge. The overarching mandates are
translated into YRE’s 3 (three) main YRE programs, namely: i) Renewable Energy;
ii) Sustainable Food; and iii) Social Business Incubation. This program
diversification was carried out by YRE as an effort to adapt to the
opportunities and needs of the YRE targeted beneficiaries for the past 9 years.
Program Biogas Rumah (BIRU) is one of the flagship renewable energy
program of YRE with over 120.000 beneficiaries and 25.545 units of installed
bio-digesters across 14 provinces in Indonesia. YRE’s role in the program
design is to create a market ecosystem for biogas supply and demand to thrive.
In doing so YRE has forged partnerships with 35 local SMEs as biogas
contractor, 27 Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) and corporation partners for
blended finance model. Our food security program is a continuation of our BIRU
program where we are advocating for a circular economy model that connects and
brings added value to energy and food security. We empower our farmers partners
to use the byproduct of biogas to be used as inputs to their farming practices
for soil restoration and increase yield. Lastly, our social incubation program
is aimed at increasing their business resiliency and amplifying their impacts
to the environment. PROWOMEN, Biogas Service Centers and Puan Inspiratif are
several examples of our incubation programs which are mostly focused on
empowering women entrepreneurs.
