        "summary": "A member of Indonesia's House of Representatives has called for the accelerated development of waste-to-energy technology to tackle the nation's growing waste problem and support the transition to a circular economy. The parliamentarian highlighted that conventional disposal methods are no longer sufficient and stressed the need for regional flexibility in choosing appropriate technologies. She also emphasised that harmonised regulations across ministries are crucial to provide legal certainty and attract investment for these projects.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 Shanty Alda Nathalia, a member of the\nInter-Parliamentary Cooperation Body (BKSAP) of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives (DPR RI), has said that Indonesia needs to accelerate\nthe development of waste-to-energy (WtE) technology as a strategic\nsolution to the national waste problem, whilst also supporting the\ntransition towards a circular economy and energy security.<\/p>\n<p>According to Shanty, the continuously rising volume of waste in\nvarious regions can no longer be handled solely through the conventional\napproach of collection and disposal at final processing sites (TPA).<\/p>\n<p>Innovative waste management is needed that can reduce waste piles\nwhile delivering economic benefits through energy utilisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe waste problem can no longer be solved merely through collection\nand landfilling. We need to encourage the development of waste to energy\nas a solution capable of reducing waste volumes while adding value\nthrough energy use. During BKSAP DPR RI\u2019s working visit to Surabaya, we\nsaw good practices that can serve as lessons learned for other regions\nin building more modern and sustainable waste management systems,\u201d\nShanty said.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that Indonesia has diverse regional characteristics and\nwaste compositions, so the development approach for waste to energy\ncannot be standardised. Regional governments need to be given room to\nchoose the technologies best suited to their respective conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGoing forward, Indonesia needs to continue exploring and developing\nvarious waste-to-energy technologies suited to each region\u2019s\ncharacteristics. The options are very diverse, ranging from technologies\nthat generate electricity to those that can produce fuels, including\nthrough pyrolysis. Therefore, each region needs the flexibility to\nchoose the technology most appropriate to its waste volume, composition,\ninfrastructure readiness, and economic viability so that implementation\nis truly effective and sustainable,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Shanty added that successful waste-to-energy development also\nrequires integrated policy support. Regulatory harmonisation across\nministries and agencies is considered a key factor in creating legal\ncertainty while boosting investor confidence in building energy-based\nwaste processing facilities in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEqually important is cross-sector regulatory harmonisation so that\nwaste-to-energy development has legal certainty and a conducive\ninvestment climate. Certainty regarding permits, technology standards,\nand the utilisation of waste processing outputs will be an important\nfactor in accelerating the implementation of waste-to-energy projects\nacross Indonesia. With strong regulatory support, waste will no longer\nbe seen as an environmental burden, but as a resource that can support\nthe circular economy, energy security, and sustainable development,\u201d\nShanty said.<\/p>",
