Utilization of renewable energy is very important to support for development in every
Micro Small Medium Enterprises. MSMEs Tahu Marina is one of the tofu-making

Strategic planning using Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) methods to determine biogas implementation strategy. The results of the research can be a reference of the strategy of MSMEs Tahu Marina. From the results strategic planning of SWOT application of biogas in MSMEs Tahu Marina is in quadrant 1 (SO) with coordinate SW = 1.00 and OT = 1.02. in quadrant I is a favorable position, the application of biogas to MSMEs Tahu Marina has the power that can be used to exploit the opportunities that exist. The strategy undertaken is to develop new product to minimize non-permanent costs (firewood), utilize the waste as biogas feedstock build enough installations to meet the needs of steam combustion.
