The Head of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Arif\nSatria, stated that the agency is developing technology to transform\nplastic waste into fuel to meet energy needs, specifically for\nfishermen. Speaking in Makassar on Monday, Arif introduced the\ntechnology known as \u2018Liquid Fuel from Plastic Waste with Advanced\nPyrolysis System for Industrial Scale\u2019, an apparatus designed to process\nplastic waste into usable fuel.<\/p>\n
\u2018This plastic waste often has no value; BRIN is transforming this\nvalueless waste into fuel for fishermen,\u2019 he said during the\nInternational Conference on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) held as\npart of the 72nd anniversary celebrations of UMI. Arif explained that if\nthe conversion of plastic waste into energy can be sustained, the\nreliance on diesel will decrease. He expressed optimism that this\ntechnology could lead to energy independence, particularly for the\nfishing sector.<\/p>\n
\u2018I believe there are still many other opportunities in the energy\nsector that we must promote, ranging from low-tech to high-tech\nsolutions,\u2019 Prof.\u00a0Arif noted during the event, which was attended by\nresearchers from various countries. He added that BRIN possesses\nadvanced technology regarding waste processing, which is currently being\nimplemented in Mataram, Lombok.<\/p>\n
Arif expressed hope that this international conference would foster\nmore perspectives regarding the achievement of the Sustainable\nDevelopment Goals. He emphasised that current research must provide\nsolutions to SDG issues, which are targeted for completion by 2030. \u2018It\nis a global commitment that we need to take steps based on strong\nevidence and data, ensuring that our actions possess high\naccountability,\u2019 he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/brin-develops-plastic-waste-based-energy-for-fishermen-1780900783", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
