Waste to Energy Project Result

RC3S is continuously encouraging private sectors to be engaged in scaling up pilot projects to combat land-based pollution, especially from marine litter. PT Indonesia Power, an Indonesia’s electricity generation company, sets a good example with innovations combining Gasifier Electricity Power Plan and the use of waste as alternative resources to generate energy. The process begin by sorting out waste collected at the local waste management facilities (TOSS), one of which is located in Gunaksa Village, Klungkung, Bali, where plastic with higher value will be sold and recycled, while plastic with low to no value mixed with food waste, dry leaves, and other organic matters to be fermented, and pressed into pellets. The pellet itself is an artificial 'coal’ that can directly be used to fuel traditional stoves or to fuel gasifier for electricity generation.

This model proven to be effective to increase waste collection rate and to reduce the leakages into the marine environment. This model have also acquired international acknowledgement by a visit from all 9 (nine) COBSEA member countries as part of the 24th COBSEA Inter-governmental Meeting (IGM) agenda, held in Bali from 19 – 20 July 2019. The model had also been published in the Best Practices Innovative Solutions to Combat Marine Litter, which demonstrated the function of RC3S to increase visibility of initiatives and innovations, as well as facilitating replications.
