Popis: A techno-economic assessment of the implementation of waste to energy (WTE) technology in Indonesia was performed by simulating the business model of a 1000 ton-per-day WTE facility that satisfied a set of economic parameters. Two types of municipal solid waste (MSW) quality were selected for the case study: (1) Low calorific value MSW, 6860 KJ/Kg-as received, taken from the municipal temporary waste collection station in South Tangerang city; and (2) High calorific value MSW, 8970 MJ/kg-as received, taken from a temporary waste collection point in a residential apartment in Jakarta city. For the low calorific value MSW, the base pricing set of IDR 500,000/tons for the tipping fee and IDR 1500/kwh as the electricity selling price was not economically feasible as it resulted in a negative Net Present Value (NPV), a lower Internal Rate of Return (IRR) than the applied Discount Rate (13%), and a Payback Period (PP) of over five years. It is compulsory to set pricing of either IDR 600,000/tons for the tipping fee or IDR 1750 as the electricity price. In the case of the high calorific value MSW, the base pricing set could be economically feasible as it resulted in an NPV, IRR, and PP of IDR 209.7 billion, 16.38%, and 4.8 years, respectively. Moreover, a reduction in the pricing to either IDR 400,000/tons for the tipping fee or IDR 1350 for electricity may still satisfy the minimum limits of the parameters sets. The results of this study are expected to provide a clearer picture of both the potential and challenges of bringing WTE technology to commercial application, especially in Indonesia.
