Strategic Shift to Green Investment (Waste-to-Energy)
📌 The main reason for the strategic shift is identifying that the sunrise business sector is linked to environmental issues, such as energy and fuel derived from waste utilization.
🔥 There is a massive opportunity to utilize waste (agricultural, plantation, and municipal) which currently causes pollution and costs, but can be converted into renewable energy.
🗑️ Major Indonesian cities generate up to 70 million tons of waste annually, most of which is currently handled via open dumping (e.g., Bantar Gebang).

Potential and Impact of Waste-to-Energy
⚡ Processing the waste from just the 33 targeted cities could potentially generate up to 6 GW (6,000 MW) of electrical energy.
📉 Current waste management is inefficient: recycling accounts for about 4%, composting/fertilizer around 28%, and RDF (if completely incinerated) only 40%; the rest remains a recurring problem.
⚠️ Open dumping leads to environmental pollution and safety hazards; in dry seasons (like 2023), methane buildup caused 30 landfills to catch fire.
🏛️ The Minister of Environment has issued a ban on open dumping, forcing regional governments (Pemda) to manage their waste, creating a significant opportunity for private players.

Role of Private Sector and Technology in Energy Transition
💡 Municipal waste management requires technology and funding, which Indonesia currently lacks domestically for renewable energy projects, often necessitating foreign technology transfer.
🤝 The financing structure for waste-to-energy projects abroad is attractive, with potential for return on investment in less than 10 years, making it appealing to foreign investors.
📈 The government's new 10-year RUPTL (Electricity Generation Plan) allocates 69.5 GW, with 76% dedicated to renewable energy and storage, indicating strong market readiness.
⚙️ OASA is implementing a Moving Grate Incinerator technology (originally German, now commonly available in China, Korea, Japan) for the Tangerang Selatan Waste-to-Energy Plant, which processes 1,000 tons of waste per day.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The future of high-growth business lies in sectors addressing environmental problems through sustainable solutions like waste-to-energy conversion.
➡️ The Indonesian government is accelerating waste management mandates, moving from 12 to 33 priority cities needing waste processing solutions.
➡️ Private sector involvement is crucial, especially bringing in necessary technology and financing for renewable energy infrastructure, as current domestic infrastructure investment heavily relies on state budgets (APBN/APBD/BUMN).
➡️ The economic viability of these projects is strong, with potential ROI under 10 years, supported by established government electricity purchase schedules (RUPTL).
