Turning Tofu Waste Into Cooking Gas Helps Clean Rivers In Indonesia | World Wide Waste 

up

Yes, that's true

The funding for waste management is pretty bad, but with this it's more of an investment, hopefully they'll see that and start building more facilities

Gotta ask your govt for a better english teacher

Apa2 minta pemerintah apapun keadaannya 🤣. Lha wong disebutkan pemerintah udh ngasih gitu kok 😆

@@deityova She speaks pretty good tho

bagus sejutu skli tolong harga kedelainya lebih ditekan kan jangan smpai melonjak trs bagai mna pemerintah nih subsidinya 🤭

jangankan energi terbarukan, jalan umum rusak bertahun tahun aja kaga di benerin 😂

I've seen how tofu is made in Japan. Feels and looks more cleaner. Is the waste water the same as in this video? How is it disposed?

Here in Indonesia, the dregs are also eaten sometimes. We ferment them with the same yeast that is used to make another soy product of ours called tempe. The end product is called 'tempe gembus"

@@kaksoispistev5403 emang tempe dari ampas tahu? kaga ga sih?

@@spookymyth4413 tadi kan dibilang "tempe gembus"

@@kaksoispistev5403 tempe gembus from dreg is not tasty, only few people want buy/ consume it, so is not economics…thats why dreg if tofu sell as animal feed like cow

Not necessarily because they were lazy, mostly because they have no knowledge to do things better. For example these people who works on these tofu factory mostly only went to elemantary school, heck some don't even go to school.

They dont work harder bcz they're lazy, wel...

Anything that is produced in very high quantity generates pollution, most particularly when the waste isn't disposed of properly.

@@ohmy7926 And most of the soy that is grown goes to feed factory farmed animals. Not making tofu. So eating meat is still more polluting than eating tofu.

I live close to tofu factory couple years ago and i cant tell you that they stink really bad

Any organism that consumes plants produces methane, there’s no way around it

@Oh My you know they’re in Indonesia right? And countries all over the world love soy products, making food, sauce or milk out of other plant products would still need water

typical indonesian employee

@@tinygrim it's because we have a society that rewards utter nastiness. I always say: great art and innovation happens in spite of, not because of, capitalism

in western countries there are more general waste water treatment plants. I don't know how much the U.S. people regulate runoff into rivers but i'm pretty sure tofu isn't a big problem there :)

Every excessive things will cause harm to the environtment

There is no waste in trafitional tofu making. You use everything for something. The milk, the whey, the solids, and the soaking water.

The acidic runoff will cause problems, but if it's diluted or neutralized with basic solutions, it's probably not a problem

beda industri prosesnya bisa jauh berbeda. Untuk limbah organik mungkin mudah untuk diproses, tetapi tidak bisa dibilang untuk limbah lainnya.

Bro, almost every male blue collar worker in Indonesia aged 40-50+ is addicted to cigarettes. You can’t get away from the smell of cigarette smoke because of just how many people are addicted to it.

We love it much compared to tofu itself. We call it oncom blengong, stupid oncom

Hahahhaa

It's always fuel is cheaper than biogas, that's why it's not all over country, but that black silo it's good small step for the bigger one

Indonesia*

Too complicated for that simple application

And need a lot of energy to compress the biogas.

It's intermittent because they don't have enough biogas, not because they can't store it.

@@imightbebiased9311 The production process fluctuated from time, even we can say it's 24 work hours (shift labor). The gas bag is too small

@@bayisehat9631 you can generate energy from the escaping gas to reduce cost of compression.

Speak for yourself, Business Insider is liberal garbage!

They don't care. Way too small.

As if big gas companies are interested in small villagesthat have no infrastructure :D

The gas is subsidied by the government, so they will be happy to to reduce the need of subsidied LPG

Thank you

I love seeing them reply to each other, knowing nobody's getting shit out of it. 🤣

Biasanya limbah tahu banyak yang mau, untuk makanan ternak. Di sana tidak begitu kah?

Imagine if EVERY nation did this with food waste

Thank you

@@Rezin_8 Imagine if every nation would just throw all their waste into the rivers like they did before....

@@blablup1214 Glaziers throw away thousands of pounds of glass....groceries throw away 40% of produce 🥲🧐

If all tofu makers follow Indonesia's example

To them Indonesia might as well be an amazonian forest

99 % lol,you can say that if you live in java

Takumi and Bunta about to immigrate to Indonesia.

People don’t want everything to smell like rotting soybeans

@@ambiorixdeseburons4939 Then they should make their own tofu and use everything. When you hand your life to a business they go for profits not what you want.

so what

There's always one. Ding!

Then why not eat chicken? Or fish? Or insect? In Indonesia we eat more chicken and fish than beef meat because it's expensive, we only eat beef meat during special occasion

some of the local workers even use their feet to crush the beans 🤣🤣🤣

@@sheedyaja6465 Even then, it is still cleaner than India's way of doing things.

@@sakurashogun trust me, Indonesia's ways of serving food are worse, especially in some regions

@@sheedyaja6465 have u ever seen indonesian cook food using armpit like in India ? 😂

tak de kah kat sperti ni di malaysia?

In Indonesia, tempe and tofu can't be separated from each other lol

Why not both? Indonesia literally invented tempeh.

You are smart ass

Tofu already have close ties with many asian culture. So separating it will be as difficult as persuading the public to stop consuming meat produced by livestock companies that use unethical and unsustainable methods.

you know tempe from indonesia, right ?

Ember, Noh yg ngolah ngerokok sambil kerja

Is from traditional way, there many tofu maker in indonesia use outomatic modern machine from food grade stainless to produce tofu

That very true, I'm Indonesian and i seen much worst than this, coz they making tofu to be very cheap so even the poorest people can aford it, that way sanitary aspect not the first concern. But we already used to it and never had problems. If you happed in Indonesia and want buy tofu you should buy it from modern Supermarket or try to find Tofu who already had brand.

Udah sejak lama, tapi kebanyakan di desa haha

@@yogasetiaone ho iyaa? Wadah. saya kudet ternyata

i'd imagine it'd require pump that itself requires a non trivial amount of energy to operate.

Need new technology for compress the gas. Coz the metana from that waste fermentation, have a low pressure. Try assume a ballon with diametre 2.5 mtr just for 3 hours tandem gas stove. I had similar project but with Cow poop fermentation.

@@scarletdice Wind mill pumps can be used to compress air or other gases as well. Its a great way to store energy without batteries. It can "pump up the volume" of energy in the bio gas system. Any motor that spins can use the pneumatic energy. You can run pnumatic lines to plug into like electrical lines/ plugs in homes. The pneumatic energy can be stored as compressed gas and the use of gas escaping can turn a pump to compress air to run houshold appliances like blenders or refrigerator compressors to cool foods. You can use pneumatic energy to run cars, or cars to create pneumatic energy to power homes. Coupled with gas motors, you can create excess energy to start, move faster or climb hills.

Water mill pumps can be used to compress air also if water is more available in an area. If you can turn an old washing machine motor, it can create electricity directly. Its as easy to turn a pump to compress air. Either wind or water can compress air very easily. You can buy small pumps that run off drills, "drill pumps" that may work. In America, its called "Yankee ingenuity", the drive to create a better mouse trap! There is an American Biogas Council now, check out the website. Here in America the projects tend to be very large. Back yard methane production is very good, maybe better than large scale production. Your not moving the materials from the site of use. Compost, manures including human waste and yard/ farm waste can all create methane. Hydrogen sulphide gas that accompanies methane can potentially create hydrogen gas. Four girls in Africa discovered that urine releases hydrogen using electrolysis and aluminum better than you can release hydrogen gas from water. The chemical bonds are weaker in urea. The same could be true in hydrogen sulphide. Now, hydrogen sulphide is a waste product of methane production. Its what makes methane stink. If it is removed from the methane and the water and utilized, the water would be useful for other purposes. Maybe it can be used for watering plants in a greenhouse or container growing system. The plants would further clean the water of nutrients so it can be returned to the environment.

Indonesia has a very smoking heavy culture, everyone smokes everywhere, portions of the population even believe its medicine and doesn't cause cancer.

I can eat the tofu directly in the factory. Does not matter. It's cooked

Vegan cheese

Better give up your meat too than, 1kg of meat uses between 5000 and 20000 liters of water

@@dashcam_in_the_bush why not just eat fish then? Or chicken? Maybe insect too? Or do they need the same amounts of water for cow meat?

@@licas3214 you eat what you want to eat. I’m just saying that tofu shouldn’t be top of your list to get rid of if you are worried about environmental impacts or production inefficiencies, there is a lot of food that is worse than tofu.

Do you know how grape vine is made???
