Danantara breaks ground on Rp 2.8 trillion waste-to-energy project in Bogor
PSEL Bogor Raya 1 was the fourth waste-to-energy plant launched by Danantara this year, following similar projects in Bali and the West Java cities of Bandung and Bekasi.
Danantara broke ground on a massive Rp 2.8 trillion (US$157 million) waste-to-energy project in Bogor, West Java on Thursday, as the nation tackles its growing waste issue. Dubbed PSEL Bogor Raya 1, the facility aims to process over 500,000 tonnes of waste annually, accounting for nearly half of Bogor's total waste generation. It's projected to power more than 100,000 households and slash waste-related landfill emissions by up to 80%, cutting carbon emissions by approximately 640,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent per year.
Additionally, it could reduce landfill space requirements by around 80%. The project boasts a team of over 60 experts from various sectors, with experience in developing similar facilities globally. Danantara's Chief Investment Officer, Pandu Patria Sjahrir, highlighted the plant's use of advanced moving-grate incinerator technology, equipped with an air pollution control system (APCS) that meets the stringent European Union Industrial Emissions Directive (EU IED).
This technology was chosen for its effectiveness in significantly reducing waste volumes in a short period, tailored to Indonesia's waste characteristics.
