        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The government, through the Ministry of\nEnvironment and Forestry (KLHK), is prioritising incineration\ntechnology, or high-temperature combustion, in the Waste-to-Electricity\nProcessing (PSEL) project. \u201cIn large cities like urban or metropolitan\nareas, waste requires rapid handling. The most advanced technology that\ncomes closest is incineration technology with proven studies. There are\nseveral dozen items that must be agreed upon before incineration is\nbuilt in a location. Currently, we are processing tenders at three\nlocations,\u201d said Minister of Environment Hanif Faisol Nurofiq in Jakarta\non Tuesday. Hanif explained that Indonesia still generates nearly\n141\u2013143 thousand tonnes of waste per day with varying characteristics\ndepending on demographics and location. Therefore, incineration is\nchosen as one of the technologies that has been proven to be more\nenvironmentally friendly based on various studies and research.\n\u201cIncineration technology has also developed in handling its emissions,\nwhich surpasses gasification technology. Previously, gasification was\nconsidered more environmentally friendly, for example in Surabaya.\nHowever, with advancements in emission control technology, incineration\nhas become the most popular technology in the world,\u201d he stated. This\napproach is chosen because waste generation in large cities cannot be\ncaught up solely by building culture. Currently, KLHK has designated 31\nagglomeration areas covering 86 districts\/cities for the PSEL project\nwith incineration technology, contributing 40 thousand tonnes of waste\nper day. \u201cThe three locations already underway are Bali, Bekasi City,\nand the Bogor agglomeration. Acceleration of the procurement of goods\nand services is also being carried out. However, this is not yet\ncomplete. With those 31 agglomerations, there is still nearly 100\nthousand tonnes per day remaining. Therefore, other technologies must be\nbuilt, such as Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF),\u201d said Hanif. RDF is a waste\nprocessing technology that converts dry waste with high calorific value\ninto alternative fuel. Waste such as plastic, paper, and textiles is\nsorted, shredded, and dried to make it easy to burn. \u201cRDF is the most\nfeasible approach for cities near cement industries. We have 23 cement\nindustries expected to handle 132 districts\/cities with a projection of\nhandling up to 60 thousand tonnes per day,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
