Indonesian President orders faster rollout of waste-to-energy projects
In Indonesia, Antara News reported that Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto has ordered the acceleration of waste-to-energy (WTE) development in major Indonesian cities, aiming to tackle mounting waste and boost alternative energy supply.
Prabowo delivered the directive during a meeting with Investment and Downstreaming Minister Rosan Perkasa Roeslani and other cabinet members, according to the report.
Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya said Roeslani briefed the president on progress of WTE initiatives, particularly in densely populated urban centers such as Jakarta, Tangerang, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, Medan and Denpasar in Bali.
Wijaya said the program is expected to provide a strategic solution to Indonesia’s long-standing waste management challenges, which have yet to be addressed effectively in many regions.
