The Jakarta Environment Agency started testing the refused-derived fuel (RDF) plant in Rorotan, North Jakarta ahead of its reopening in September, after the site was closed following complaints from local residents about thick and smelly smoke.
A local group representing thousands of residents has put up stiff opposition against the plan to reopen the refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plant in Rorotan, North Jakarta, in the next few months given its apparent impact on residents’ health.
The Jakarta administration and the operator of the refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plant in Rorotan, North Jakarta, will install facilities such as deodorizers and air quality monitoring stations to prevent foul odors coming from the plant.
Yuliot said that plastic waste will be processed using pyrolysis technology to produce fuel oil. Meanwhile, organic waste will be used to produce bioenergy “in the form of either biogas or biomass.”
Thick, foul-smelling smoke reportedly rose from a newly built refuse-derived fuel (RDF) plant in Rorotan, North Jakarta, last week during a test run of the facility, which is slated to process thousands of tonnes of waste every day when it begins full operations.
The waste crisis in Indonesia has yet to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Garbage continues to pile up in landfills, while waste plant projects are resisted for environmental and financial drawbacks.
