 WASTE-BASED POWER GENERATION
ISSUE

WASTE-BASED POWER GENERATION OR PLTSA IS AN

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY-BASED
PROCESSOR OF WASTE INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY THAT
MEETS QUALITY STANDARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH
STATUTORY PROVISIONS AND CAN REDUCE THE VOLUME OF

EXAMPLE
WASTE SIGNIFICANTLY AND HAS BEEN TESTED. THIS IS
STATED IN PRESIDENTIAL REGULATION NUMBER 35 OF 2018
CONCERNING THE ACCELERATION OF CONSTRUCTION OF
WASTE TO ELECTRIC ENERGY PROCESSING INSTALLATIONS
BASED ON ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY.

SEEING THAT WASTE CONTINUES TO PILE UP, THE

GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO CONVERT WASTE INTO AN
ENERGY SOURCE THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF PLTSA.
APART FROM THAT, IT IS ALSO TO IMPROVE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND INCREASE THE ROLE OF
NATIONAL ELECTRICITY BASED ON RENEWABLE ENERGY.

THIS WAS ALSO DONE TO FULFILL THE AGREEMENT AT THE

PARIS CONFERENCE (COP21) AT THE END OF 2015 WHERE
MEMBER COUNTRIES AGREED TO REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS.
ARGUMENT

HOWEVER, THIS EFFORT DID NOT RUN SMOOTHLY. REDUCING THE VOLUME OF WASTE, CARBON EMISSIONS, AND UTILIZING RENEWABLE
ENERGY FROM THE WASTE PROCESSING PROCESS IS NOT ENOUGH. THE CONSTRUCTION OF PLTSA HAS REAPED PROS AND CONS AMONG
THE COMMUNITY.

THE COMMUNITY BELIEVES THAT THE EXISTENCE OF THIS PLTSA THREATENS THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN LIVES. THIS IS BECAUSE
PLTSA USES AN INCINERATOR WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO WORSEN AIR POLLUTION AND PRODUCE TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN THE FORM
OF DIOXIN. IN THE WORST CASE, DIOXIN CAN HARM THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND CAUSE CANCER.

OTHER CONS ARE THAT THE LAND IS NOT READY, THERE IS NO WASTE MASTER PLAN, NON-TRANSPARENT POLICY PROCEDURES AND
AUCTION MECHANISMS, HIGH DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND TIPPING FEES, AND BAD EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN OTHER
COUNTRIES.

CONCLUSION

IN THIS WAY, THE CONSTRUCTION OF PLTSA AS A GOVERNMENT EFFORT TO REDUCE THE VOLUME OF WASTE, CARBON EMISSIONS AND
THE USE OF WASTE AS AN ENERGY SOURCE HAS RECEIVED A LOT OF RESISTANCE FROM THE PUBLIC. THEREFORE, IT IS BEST TO
CONDUCT FURTHER STUDIES REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF PLTSA IN INDONESIA.
