Yayasan Rumah Energi (YRE) is a Jakarta-based foundation that builds small household biodigesters, so manure that once released methane in the open becomes cooking gas and fertiliser. It took over the national BIRU domestic biogas programme from Hivos in 2021. Celebrating its 13th anniversary in late 2025, YRE reported 29,915 biogas installations across 21 provinces serving 119,660 households. Its website currently credits its renewable-energy work with 530,803 tonnes of CO2e in emission reductions. The foundation was still publishing field updates in November 2026.
