Comparison Analysis Decentralized and Centralized Facility of Refused Derived Fuel as Alternative Fuel for Cement Industry in Indonesia

Abstract Description: Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) has gained attention as a viable alternative to address both global warming and municipal solid waste management challenges. In Indonesia, it potentially support the synergy of the zero waste 2050 program of Ministry of Environment while at the same time contribute to the decarbonization of cement sector toward net zero 2060. To maximizing its potential benefits, this article focus on comparison analysis between centralized facilities at final disposal site versus the decentralized facilities near sources. Analysis was carried out using the case in Jakarta Metropolitan region namely Jabodetabek. Data gathering was conducted in September 2024 at several the existing facilities in Jakarta city; Bekasi city and Bogor City. The initiative to use RDF from municipal solid waste reduce a huge GHG emission potential compare to the existing landfilling it at the final disposal Bantar Gebang. Considering key factors of the total emissions from collection and transportation of fresh waste to the final disposal, emission generated from the RDF production facility and emission from transportation of RDF to the receiving facilities at the of taker cement companies, the decentralised medium size capacity would give maximum benefit. However, installing the facility nearby the oftaker of cement industry is the best among others. The initiative for developing RDF from municipal solid waste management provide potential synergy on reducing waste going for landfilling which will contribute to the zero waste 2050 program of the ministry of environment Indonesia and decarbonization roadmap to achieve net-zero 2060 of cement industry in Indonesia.
