Indonesia's Danareksa Investments, a state-owned investment company, has revealed that nearly 120 businesses have shown interest in investing in the country's waste-to-energy projects.
According to Danareksa, several multinational companies, including European and Asian corporations, are keen to participate in the development of waste management facilities that can generate energy from non-recyclable waste. This development comes as Indonesia continues to grapple with its massive waste problem, which has become a major environmental concern.
The investment company estimates that the total potential value for waste-to-energy projects in Indonesia could reach trillions of rupiah (US dollars) if implemented on a large scale. Danareksa believes that this can help reduce the country's reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate climate change.
However, experts warn that the implementation of such projects is not without its challenges. They highlight concerns over the technical feasibility of waste-to-energy technology, as well as potential environmental impacts, including air pollution and water contamination.
Despite these challenges, Danareksa remains optimistic about the prospects for waste-to-energy development in Indonesia. The company plans to work closely with stakeholders, including government agencies, local authorities, and private sector players, to ensure that projects are implemented in a responsible and sustainable manner.
