Biogas is a renewable energy source produced through the anaerobic fermentation of organic matter by microorganisms, with methane (CH₄) as its main component. This study evaluates the potential biogas production from a mixture of cow manure and water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in three different ratios: 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1. Fermentation was carried out for 15 days in a 19-liter reactor using EM4 as a bioactivator. Gas pressure was measured using a U manometer, and biogas volume was calculated based on the volume of a motorcycle inner tube. The best result was obtained at a 2:1 ratio, yielding the highest pressure of 103.481 N/m² and a maximum volume of 47.2 liters. The fermentation temperature ranged from 24–27°C, which is optimal for mesophilic microbes. The dominance of cow manure enhanced substrate decomposition and gas production, while water hyacinth acted as a supporting lignocellulosic material. This study shows that organic waste mixtures can be effectively utilized as an alternative energy source.
