Ekspektasi pemerintah untuk menghilangkan tumpukan sampah di Tempat Pengolahan Sampah Terpadu (TPST) melalui proyek waste to energy (WtE) tidak bisa menjadi solusi teknis yang terpisah, tetapi didukung oleh perbaikan sistem pengelolaan sampah yang menyeluruh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plastic Smart Cities Program Manager WWF Indonesia, Sekti Mulatsih, mendukung upaya pemerintah dalam mencari solusi penanganan sampah. Namun, menurutnya, teknologi WtE harus dijalankan dengan perencanaan matang dan pemilihan teknologi yang sesuai dengan karakteristik sampah di Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hal ini menanggapi pernyataan Menteri Koordinator Bidang Pangan Zulkifli Hasan yang memproyeksikan sampah TPST Bantar Gebang bakal \"musnah\" dalam dua tahun ke depan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Sebagai negara tropis dengan curah hujan tinggi, dua hal yang paling menentukan karakteristik kimia sampah perkotaan di Indonesia yaitu tingginya fraksi bioorganik dan kadar air (moisture) yang tinggi,\" jelas Sekti kepada Bisnis, Jumat (19\/12\/2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Menurut Sekti, dengan komposisi sampah organik yang masih dominan di banyak kota, perlakuan termal pada WtE akan sangat berbeda dengan sampah di negara beriklim sedang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Saat ini, lanjutnya, masih banyak jenis sampah yang bisa dikelola dengan teknologi yang lebih murah dan ramah lingkungan sebelum masuk ke tahap pembakaran. Oleh karena itu, kunci utama keberhasilan WtE terletak pada pemilahan sampah dari sumbernya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Di negara dengan karakteristik sampah seperti Indonesia, WtE tidak dapat berdiri sendiri menjadi solusi teknis semata, tetapi harus didukung oleh perbaikan sistem secara menyeluruh mulai dari pemilahan tingkat rumah tangga, penguatan rantai pengumpulan, fasilitas tengah, hingga pengendalian emisi dan residu di hilir,\" paparnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tanpa perbaikan sistem tersebut, WtE berisiko menjadi mahal, tidak efisien, dan menimbulkan dampak lingkungan baru yang bisa jadi cenderung lebih berbahaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sebaliknya, jika pemilahan berjalan baik dan aliran material dirancang sesuai karakteristik sampah, WtE dapat berfungsi sebagai bagian dari ekonomi sirkular yang lebih ramah lingkungan, mengurangi beban Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA), sekaligus menjadi solusi yang layak secara finansial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ekonomi Sirkular<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lebih lanjut, Sekti menyatakan bahwa WWF-Indonesia merekomendasikan penerapan prinsip ekonomi sirkular dalam pengelolaan sampah secara utuh. Prinsip ini menempatkan pengurangan timbulan sampah di hulu sebagai langkah pertama, melalui perubahan perilaku konsumsi dan produksi yang lebih bertanggung jawab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Upaya ini dilanjutkan dengan pemilahan sampah dari sumber untuk memastikan material bernilai dapat dimanfaatkan kembali dan fraksi organik dikelola secara tepat, sehingga meminimalkan pencemaran dan kehilangan sumber daya,\" ujarnya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pada tahap hilir, dia mendorong agar pemrosesan akhir dilakukan secara ramah lingkungan melalui pendekatan daur ulang, pengolahan organik, dan pemanfaatan energi secara selektif, dengan tetap mengedepankan pengendalian emisi dan residu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sebelumnya, Menteri Koordinator Bidang Pangan (Menko Pangan) Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) menargetkan sampah yang berada di Tempat Pengolahan Sampah Terpadu (TPST) Bantargebang, Bekasi, Jawa Barat, akan hilang dalam dua tahun ke depan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Target tersebut diharapkan tercapai seiring dengan proyek strategis Danantara yang akan menjalankan investasi program pengolahan sampah menjadi energi listrik atau waste to energy (WTE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Menurut Zulhas, pengolahan sampah melalui teknologi WTE akan menjadi solusi untuk mengatasi persoalan sampah perkotaan yang selama ini menumpuk di sejumlah daerah. \u201cJadi Bantargebang itu Insyaallah 2 tahun lagi nggak ada lagi [musnah], dua tahun lagi Bandung. [Kota dengan masalah sampah] yang di mana-mana itu, dua tahun lagi [tuntas],\u201d ujar Zulhas dikutip dari Antara, Selasa (16\/12\/2025).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pengolahan sampah menjadi energi baru terbarukan (EBT) tersebut telah diatur dalam Peraturan Presiden (Perpres) Nomor 109 Tahun 2025 tentang Penanganan Sampah Perkotaan Melalui Pengolahan Sampah menjadi Energi Terbarukan Teknologi Ramah Lingkungan. Regulasi ini menjadi dasar percepatan pembangunan proyek WTE di berbagai daerah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wilayah Prioritas<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di sisi lain, Pemerintah menetapkan 10 wilayah aglomerasi yang akan menjadi pusat pembangunan proyek WtE atau Pengolahan Sampah Menjadi Energi Listrik (PSEL). Penetapan dilakukan untuk memastikan efisiensi pengelolaan sampah lintas wilayah guna mencapai target sampah terkelola 100% pada 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Menteri Lingkungan Hidup Hanif Faisol Nurofiq mengatakan pemerintah sudah menyiapkan sistem perizinan terpadu bersama Kementerian Investasi, termasuk proses pengelolaan aset yang transparan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKarena PSEL merupakan pilar energi baru terbarukan, kami tidak hanya menguji kelayakan teknis tetapi juga menyiapkan ruang inovasi, termasuk solusi impor perangkat teknologi canggih agar operasional di lapangan tidak terhambat,\u201d katanya setelah rapat koordinasi terbatas di Kementerian Koordinator bidang Pangan pada Kamis (18\/12\/2025), dikutip dari siaran pers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hanif menyatakan bahwa pemerintah telah mengintegrasikan sistem perizinan dengan kementerian terkait untuk menjamin keamanan investasi hijau ini bersama Kementerian Investasi\/BKPM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dalam rapat ini, pemerintah menyepakati perluasan pembangunan PSEL ke dalam dua tahap. Setelah tahap pertama berjalan di Bogor Raya, Denpasar Raya, dan Tangerang Raya, kini tahap kedua resmi mencakup aglomerasi Surabaya Raya (Surabaya, Gresik, Sidoarjo, Lamongan), Lampung Raya (Bandar Lampung, Lampung Selatan, Lampung Timur), dan Serang Raya (Kota Serang, Cilegon, Kabupaten Serang). \n\nHanif menambahkan bahwa skema aglomerasi ini krusial untuk memastikan skala ekonomi proyek dengan syarat volume timbulan sampah minimal 1.000 ton per hari. \u201cSeperti yang akan diimplementasikan di lahan seluas 20 hektare di Kota Baru Purwotani, Lampung,\u201d tambah Hanif.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Source: Bisnis.com | January 5, 2025 The government’s goal of eliminating the piles of waste at Integrated Waste Processing Sites (TPST) through waste-to-energy (WtE) projects cannot be a standalone technical solution, but rather is supported by improvements to the comprehensive waste management system. Sekti Mulatsih, WWF Indonesia’s Plastic Smart Cities Program Manager, supports the government’s efforts to find waste management solutions. However, she believes that WtE technology must be implemented with careful planning and the selection of technology that is appropriate to the characteristics of waste in Indonesia. This is in response to a statement by Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan, who projected that the Bantar Gebang TPST waste would be “eradicated” within the next two years. “As a tropical country with high rainfall, the two factors that most determine the chemical characteristics of urban waste in Indonesia are the high bioorganic fraction and high moisture content,” Sekti explained to Bisnis on Friday (12\/19\/2025). According to Sekti, with organic waste still dominant in many cities, thermal treatment of WtE will be very different from waste in temperate countries. Currently, he continued, there are still many types of waste that can be managed with cheaper and more environmentally friendly technologies before entering the incineration stage. Therefore, the key to WtE’s success lies in waste segregation at the source. “In a country with waste characteristics like Indonesia, WtE cannot stand alone as a purely technical solution. It must be supported by comprehensive system improvements, from household-level sorting and strengthening the collection chain, intermediate facilities, to controlling emissions and residues downstream,” he explained. Without these system improvements, WtE risks becoming expensive, inefficient, and creating new, potentially more harmful environmental impacts. Conversely, if sorting is carried out effectively and material flows are designed according to the characteristics of the waste, WtE can function as part of a more environmentally friendly circular economy, reducing the burden on landfills (TPA), and being a financially viable solution. Circular Economy Furthermore, Sekti stated that WWF-Indonesia recommends implementing circular economy principles in comprehensive waste management. This principle prioritizes reducing waste generation upstream, through changes in more responsible consumption and production behavior. “This effort is followed by waste sorting at the source to ensure valuable materials can be reused and organic fractions are properly managed, thereby minimizing pollution and resource loss,” he said. At the downstream stage, he encouraged environmentally friendly final processing through recycling, organic processing, and selective energy utilization, while prioritizing emission and residue control. Previously, Coordinating Minister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas) targeted the elimination of waste at the Bantargebang Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST) in Bekasi, West Java, within the next two years. This target is expected to be achieved in line with Danantara’s strategic project, which will invest in a waste-to-energy (WTE) program. According to Zulhas, waste processing using WTE technology will be the solution to the problem of urban waste that has been piling up in several areas. “So, God willing, Bantargebang will be gone in two years, and in two years, Bandung. [Cities with waste problems] that are everywhere, will be finished in two years,” said Zulhas, as quoted by Antara, Tuesday (12\/16\/2025). The processing of waste into new and renewable energy (EBT) is regulated in Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 109 of 2025 concerning Urban Waste Management Through Environmentally Friendly Technology for Waste Processing into Renewable Energy. This regulation serves as the basis for accelerating the development of WTE projects in various regions. Priority Areas Meanwhile, the government has designated 10 agglomeration areas as centers for the development of WtE or Waste to Electricity (PSEL) projects. This determination was made to ensure efficient waste management across regions to achieve the target of 100% managed waste by 2029. Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq stated that the government has prepared an integrated licensing system with the Ministry of Investment, including a transparent asset management process. “Because the PSEL (Special Waste Management System) is a pillar of new and renewable energy, we are not only testing technical feasibility but also preparing a space for innovation, including solutions for importing advanced technology equipment to ensure smooth operations in the field,” he said after a limited coordination meeting at the Coordinating Ministry for Food on Thursday (December 18, 2025), as quoted in a press release. Hanif stated that the government has integrated the licensing system with relevant ministries to ensure the security of this green investment, along with the Ministry of Investment\/BKPM. During this meeting, the government agreed to expand the PSEL development into two phases. After the first phase was implemented in Greater Bogor, Greater Denpasar, and Greater Tangerang, the second phase now officially covers the agglomerations of Greater Surabaya (Surabaya, Gresik, Sidoarjo, Lamongan), Greater Lampung (Bandar Lampung, South Lampung, East Lampung), and Greater Serang (Serang City, Cilegon, and Serang Regency). Hanif added that this agglomeration scheme is crucial to ensuring the project’s economy of scale, with a minimum waste generation volume of 1,000 tons per day. “As will be implemented on 20 hectares of land in Kota Baru Purwotani, Lampung,” added Hanif.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":7176,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[279,281,280],"class_list":["post-7175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-announcements","tag-psel","tag-waste-to-energy","tag-wte"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7175"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7177,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7175\/revisions\/7177"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bakrie-brothers.com\/id\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
