A Techno-Economic Evaluation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Conversion to Energy in Indonesia

Municipal solid waste (MSW) processing is still problematic in Indonesia. From the hierarchy of management, it clear that energy recovery from could be an option after prevention and 5R (rethink, refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle) processes. The Presidential Regulation No 35/2018 mandated acceleration waste-to-energy (WtE) plant adoption present study aimed to demonstrate a techno-economic evaluation commercial WtE Indonesia by 1000 tons waste/day produce ca. 19.7 MW electricity. electricity price set at USD 13.35 cent/kWh, which already higher than average household 9.76 cent/kWh. capital investment estimated 102.2 million. annual operational cost 12.1 million revenue 41.6 At this value, internal rate return (IRR) for 25.32% with payout time (PoT) 3.47 years. In addition, also takes into account sales, tipping fee, pretreatment waste. result sensitivity analysis showed was most sensitive factor. This reveals important maintain regulated ensure sustainability
