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.

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.

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.
