        "summary": "BRIN is developing waste processing technologies that can be deployed from household level up to city-scale to accelerate waste-to-energy initiatives. The plan prioritises environmentally-based, small-scale management alongside larger schemes, with pyrolysis to convert legacy waste into renewable fuels (BBM) as part of a national energy policy. The programme involves BRIN, the Ministry of Education and Culture\u2019s higher education body (Dikti), Danantara, PT Pindad, the TNI, and related ministries to fast-track implementation under Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025.",
        "content": "<p>REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA \u2013 Coordinating Minister for the Food Sector\nZulkifli Hasan said the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN)\nis preparing a range of waste processing technologies from household\nscale to urban areas. The technologies form part of accelerating the\nprogramme to convert waste into energy.<\/p>\n<p>Zulkifli stated that the development of waste processing technology\nis not only focused on the end-of-life landfill (TPA), but also directed\nto small-scale, environmentally-based management such as RT, RW, down to\nsub-district (kecamatan). The Government wants waste handling to be\nintegrated from upstream to downstream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom BRIN we have various technologies, ranging from households, RT,\nRW, sub-district, and so on,\u201d said the figure known as Zulhas in\nJakarta, last Tuesday (19\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The government is accelerating the implementation of waste-to-energy\nin line with the mandate of Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No.\u00a0109 of\n2025. Previously, the government focused on turning waste into\nelectricity through incinerator technology or waste-to-energy.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the government is also beginning to encourage the use of\npyrolysis technology to deal with the long-standing waste stockpiles\nthat have piled up at various large landfills. The technology is\nprepared to turn old waste into renewable oil-based fuels (BBM).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, now we are working together again with Pak Sigit and the TNI.\nThe technology will come from BRIN and Dikti, which there are four of,\u201d\nZulhas said.<\/p>\n<p>He said there is a serious problem due to the high volume of waste in\nseveral regions. Piles of waste in some locations are reportedly as high\nas 16-storey buildings, including in the Bantar Gebang area.<\/p>\n<p>Zulhas explained that waste management is no longer seen merely as an\nenvironmental issue, but part of the national energy independence\nagenda. There is collaboration with Danantara, PT Pindad, the Indonesian\nArmy (TNI AD), and related ministries to accelerate the programme\u2019s\nimplementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn other words, waste processing is no longer seen as a burden, but\nas a source of energy and part of the national energy independence\nvision,\u201d said the Coordinating Minister for the Food Sector.<\/p>",
