The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry is targeting for 30 major cities in Indonesia to start processing waste into electric power and fuel oil using waste-to-energy plants by the end of 2029. Plastic waste will be processed using pyrolysis technology to produce fuel oil. Meanwhile, organic waste will be used to produce bioenergy “in the form of either biogas or biomass.” Currently, the government is drafting a new presidential regulation (Perpres) on waste management that will stipulate technologies used to process waste into energy, according to the deputy minister, considering waste remains an economic problem. Waste can lead to significant financial costs associated with collection, treatment, landfill space, health problems and potential environmental damage. Improper waste management can significantly impact a society's economy, not just its environment. As of today, there are 538 districts and cities in the country suffering from improper waste management because waste is simply sent to final disposal sites (TPA) without any optimal processing.Source : https://www.thejakartapost.com/business/2025/03/13/govt-aims-for-30-major-cities-to-process-waste-into-electricity-fuel-by-end-of-2029.html (ICE GIACARTA)
