​About:

Indonesia generates approximately 190,000 tons of waste every day, most of which is organic waste. Twenty percent of the 25,000 tons of daily plastic waste ends up in rives and coastal waters. As a result, GOI has decided to accelerate the development of Waste Processing into Electricity based on Environmentally Friendly Technologies (PLTSa) through waste management.

The Waste to Energy Short Term Award is targeted at Government of Indonesia (GOI) officials and private sector representatives involved in the development and oversight of Waste to Energy (WTE) projects. The aim is to analyse commercial viability of different types of WTE operations, study the feasibility of Public Private Partnership (PPP) models and benchmark ways to attract private sector investment. The course will also explore policies and regulations that affect the planning, preparation and operations of WTE plants to respond to Indonesia’s waste management challenges. The course also aims to improve inter-agency collaboration in determining projects to be funded andfinancing/contracting models to be applied. 

The following learning objectives were identified through consultations with the Australian Embassy in Jakarta. The objectives will be finalised during the pre-course workshop to match the participants’ individual learning objectives. The participants will apply the knowledge in their work through an Award Project, an individual or small group project focusing on a specific WTE-related topic (pre-feasibility study in WTE or an integrated waste management topic).
