Indonesia is accelerating its waste-to-energy (PSEL) programme under Presidential Regulation No. 109 of 2025, targeting the resolution of 70–80% of the nation's waste problem by 2029. The government aims to develop approximately 30 PSEL sites, with several projects designated as Strategic National Projects (PSN). Key infrastructure Recent developments include: • **West Java:** On 29 July 2026, officials laid in the foundation stone PSN phase include facilities in Bekasi (1,400 tons/day capacity), Bogor Raya (1,500 tons/day), and Denpasar Raya (1,200 tons/day). Under current regulations, the state electricity company, PLN, will purchase the generated electricity at a rate of US$ 0.2 per kWh. In Bantul, local authorities are preparing infrastructure for the Legok Nangka plant in Bandung Regency. Designed Piyungan PSEL facility, including plans to process 2,131 tonnes procure additional waste collection trucks via the regional budget starting in 2027. The Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) Commission II has announced a new large-scale program targeting regions producing more than 500 tons of waste daily, the facility will serve six regions. PT Pertamina (Persero) signed an agreement with such as the West Java provincial government to convert waste into low-carbon hydrogen, biomethane, and biofuel, involving South Korean partner Hyundai. • **Other Regions:** A PSEL project Banjarbakula landfill in Palembang is targeted to operate by October 2026. Technological and circular economy initiatives include: • **Pyrolysis:** To address South Kalimantan. This initiative involves collaboration between regional heads, the gap where current PSEL developments are expected to handle only about 22 percent Ministry of Home Affairs, and Danantara to bolster national waste, the government is promoting pyrolysis. energy security. This technology aims to convert landfill waste into renewable fuel, potentially addressing an additional 20 percent of follows the existing Local Service Delivery Project (LSDP), which currently focuses on regions producing between 100 and 500 tons of waste problem. Pilot daily. Other regional initiatives include the Legok Nangka plant in West Java, a PSEL project in Palembang, and pyrolysis pilot projects are being developed in Bogor, Semarang, Bekasi, and Jakarta. • **Circular Economy and Community Partnerships:** Regional programs are converting waste into resources. In Yogyakarta, a program involving PLN EPI and PT Pelayaran Bahtera Adhiguna uses Circular economy efforts continue through Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots to produce organic programs in Yogyakarta and liquid fertilizers, increasing community income via the Ngupadi Rejeki Karangasem Waste Bank. In Bima, West Nusa Tenggara, the RAMAH movement encourages weekly plastic waste collection to foster behavioral change. Further regional efforts include discussions in Solear District regarding an Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST) in Pasanggrahan Village. Bima.
