In order to help people save on their daily needs, one of the residents of Lubuk Leban Village created a stove made from used oil to replace LPG.

Now, the Lubuk Leban Village Government, Sosoh Buay Rayap District, Ogan Komering Ulu (OKU) Regency, South Sumatra has launched the innovation of the used oil stove as well as an anti-role motor.

Head of Lubuk Leban Village, OKU Regency, Edy Wilson in Baturaja, Saturday said that this innovation was displayed in the assessment of the district-level village competition as a work of art from the community in the local area.

"This import still controls electricity. We are still looking for ways to make 100 percent of fuel use used oil," he said, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, June 1.

In addition to stoves, he said, his party also launched anti-role motorcycle innovations to anticipate the theft of motorcycles that are rampant in the area.

This innovation is by modifying motorcycles that are connected to generators and power that can be controlled through remote control by vehicle owners.

To use this assembled device, the community only needs to spend IDR 700 thousand to buy equipment including installation fees so that it is safe from theft.

"For the time being, there are only three units of devices and in the future we are ready to produce as much as possible according to the needs of the community," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the OKU Village Community Empowerment Service (PMD), Nanang Nurzaman, appreciated the innovation launched by the Lubuk Leban Village Government.
