Abstract
This study was conducted to identify the potential surplus of rice straw as a source of energy for rural communities in Indonesia. Rural communities need a source of energy for electrical energy and small industry. Determination of the potential surplus of rice straw performed by compared the total potential of rice straw produced and portion used for other usage such as animal feed and raw materials for industry. The remainder wasted was named as a potential surplus of rice straw in this study that can be used as fuel. The study shows the potential of rice straw in total, for animal feed, for industries raw materials, and for energy source. Each of which has increased average about 2% per year or increased about 10% over 5 years (2009-2013). The study is expected to be one of the alternative sources of energy to meet the electrical energy needs and energy requirements for small industries on rural communities in Indonesia.
