Country Overview

With a population around 250 million, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country and is a home to the world’s 16th largest economy. The speed and scale of urban growth is astounding, 53% of population lives in cities, not only producing 74% of GDP but also at least 200.000 tonnes of waste per day. 

The management of waste is becoming a major problem in Indonesia as the cities are growing even faster than the infrastructure development.

Accordingly, the purpose of the Smart Cities Mission is to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of people by enabling local area development and harnessing technology, especially technology that leads to Smart outcomes. Area-based development will transform existing areas (retrofit and redevelop), including slums, into better planned ones, thereby improving livability of the whole City. New areas (greenfield) will be developed around cities 7 in order to accommodate the expanding population in urban areas. Application of Smart Solutions will enable cities to use technology, information and data to improve infrastructure and services. Comprehensive development in this way will improve quality of life, create employment and enhance incomes for all, especially the poor and the disadvantaged, leading to inclusive Cities

John Tingle is the Trade Team Manager for UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) in the East of England (Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire). A Chartered Chemical Engineer by training he has worked at senior level in many different process industries for companies such as Suez, Morrison Construction, PCI (now Black and Veatch) and Bord na Mona. A specialist in the Environmental and Low Carbon sectors John’s experience is principally in water and wastewater treatment (including leachate treatment) and also includes composting and anaerobic treatment of waste in a career spanning more than 40 years.

Major projects in planning include:

• Design and Construction of a Water Desalination Plant at Tseung Kwan O and associated infrastructure (project cost c. £1bn)
• Relocation of Sha Tin Sewage Treatment Works (c. £2½bn)
• Waste Treatment (Food Waste, Waste to Energy, Integrated Waste Management Facility, etc) and Disposal Facilities (c. £1bn+)
• Water Main Replacement and Rehabilitation / Water Intelligent Network (WIN) (c. £300m+)

These relatively huge procurements will be won by a large prime bidder but offer the opportunity for UK businesses to either be part of a bid consortium (the majority of the opportunity at that stage being in design and consulting engineering and management) or to enter the supply chain following the award of the prime contract.  It is likely that these projects will call for and value significant technical expertise and local experience, so partnership with a local company is likely to offer the greatest chance of success.  They may not prove very suitable for brand new exporters unless they can demonstrate significant UK domestic industry experience.

Country overview – in relations to sector opportunities:

• HK continues to be a substantial market for UK exports – currently 12th largest market for goods (3rd largest in APAC) and market worth over £2bn/year in services – but goods export values declined in the second half of 2015.
• World's 8th largest trading economy - as well as (still) gateway to mainland China and A-Pac.
• Many UK companies have APAC HQs in HK – latest stats were some 126 UK companies with regional HQs here and some 630 in total have offices here.  Many more have agents and distributors.
• Significant amounts of investment come from HK (and from China via HK) into the UK creating jobs and growth.

Hong Kong Economy

 The four pillar economic sectors of Hong Kong are: trading and logistics (23.4% of GDP in terms of value-added in 2014), tourism (5.1%), financial services (16.6%), and professional services and other producer services (12.4%). Government development priorities lie in cultural and creative, medical services, education services, innovation and technology, testing and certification services and environmental industries.

• Kai Tak Development (KTD) - a huge (area 8 times that of Canary Wharf) and highly complex urban regeneration development project
• Transport – Hong Kong has a 15 year railway development programme
• Hong Kong Airport - third runway expansion project is now underway at a cost of over £11bn
• Healthcare - Government has set aside a dedicated provision of $200 billion (£18bn) for a ten-year hospital development plan to enable the Hospital Authority (HA) to expand and upgrade healthcare facilities
• Education – focussed on development of an academic city; British Schools and educational supplies
• Urban Regeneration and Built Heritage – focussing on the redevelopment of East Kowloon into a new Central Business District plus other industrial revitalisation and redevelopment projects valued in excess of £1.5bn
• Macao Leisure and Retail – existing resorts undertaking significant expansion projects and developing entertainment and retail facilities.

Business Environment

• Hong Kong has traditionally been a very welcoming market for UK and international companies to do business, with an enduring appeal built on political stability, the rule of law, free market principles, free flow of information, and English as the language of business.  For the past 21 years Hong Kong has been ranked as the ‘World’s Freest Economy’ by the Heritage Foundation/Wall Street Journal.  The index measures economies in 10 areas, including trade, business, investment and property rights. Hong Kong scores particularly well on business, trade, financial and labour freedoms.
• As in all markets, the competition is entrenched and growing.  Chinese companies, Koreans, Japanese and Americans are becoming more and more active.  There are also growing French and German interests.

Opportunities for waste management companies to provide waste-to-energy solutions in 7 Indonesian cities.

Management of waste is becoming a major problem in Indonesia. Early this year the Indonesian government issued Presidential Decree No. 18 of 2016 to accelerate the development of waste-to-energy in 7 cities, namely:

• Jakarta
• Tangerang
• Bandung
• Semarang
• Surakarta
• Surabaya
• Makassar

Currently Indonesia is facing difficulties in implementing PPP projects due to the complexity of tender process. However, this regulation provides a shortcut and allows the city mayors to directly appoint developers for waste-to-energy projects, creating immediate opportunities. To that end, the government seeks participation by companies providing waste-to-energy technologies besides incineration, such as gasification and pyrolysis. A minimum 1000 tonnes of waste per day will be processed, and the State Utility guarantees the purchase of electricity produced by the facility. Under the Waste Law, the government will finance waste management activities from the state/regional budget. In addition, Feed in Tariff for electricity generated from Municipal Waste is available at between US$ 18,77 to 22,43 cents per kiloWatt Hour.

Major opportunities for British companies include:

Consultancy: general and detailed design and project preparation and feasibility studies for closing of non-compliant landfills and construction of new ones as well as the development of waste management plans; supervision of works for closing of non-compliant landfills and construction of new ones; technical assistance; asset management; publicity and awareness campaigns (on selective collection, sorting, recycling, composting); environmental impact assessments.

Works: construction of sorting, recycling and composting facilities; construction of municipal waste disposal facilities and transfer stations; construction of adequate facilities for municipal hazardous waste (medical waste, electric and electronics waste, etc.); closure of non-compliant landfills; recovery of gas from landfills, where appropriate.

Equipment supply: acquisition and installation of selective collection systems; acquisition of waste transport vehicles; acquisition of equipment and technology, such as: waste sorting, separating and shredding technologies.

A significant problem identified in Romania before and after joining the EU is the inadequate waste management and recycling system. The main issues are:

• under 3% of the municipal waste is reused; over 97% is landfilled, with the main method of waste disposal remaining landfilling;
• 240 landfills of the 251 municipal landfills in urban areas do not comply with EU environmental standards;
• there is no organised waste management services in the majority of rural areas, leading to a high number of unauthorised landfills (approx. 2,700).

To address these issues, which were only partially solved during the 2007-2013 EU funding framework, tenders will be organised in many of the 42 counties for the development of integrated waste management systems and extension of waste management infrastructure. Romania’s allocation in the current EU funding exercise (2014-2020) for this particular sector is 2.9 billion Euro, with 3.41 billion Euro total value of identified projects in the waste management and recycling market.
