Jakarta to build new waste-to-energy plants
In Indonesia, Jakarta Globe reported that Jakarta is stepping up efforts to tackle its mounting waste problem by accelerating the development of waste-to-energy plants while enforcing stricter household waste segregation policies.
The report stated that Governor Pramono Anung said the city is moving forward with plans to build waste-to-energy power plants in Bantargebang, West Java, as well as in Tanjungan and Sunter in North Jakarta.
“Today, the Jakarta Provincial Government will sign a collaboration with Danantara for two waste-to-energy plant sites — one in Bantargebang and the other in Tanjungan, Kamal Muara,” he said.
In addition, a Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) facility in Rorotan, North Jakarta, is already operational. The plant processes around 2,500 tons of waste per day into alternative fuel or renewable energy, the report added.
