“…The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation of seven emirates, and Abu Dhabi city is the capital of the country. The per capita MSW generation rate in UAE is between 1.76 and 2.3 kg/day which is reasonably higher and comparable to average American citizen with about 2.1 kg of waste/day 50,51 . In UAE, Abu Dhabi Emirate is the largest emirate by area and has population of approximately 2.8 million 52 .…”

This study proposes a multiperiod mixed integer linear programming model for the management of a single municipal solid waste (MSW) treatment plant with sustainability as the objective. Discrete and continuous variables define the capacity selections for diverse MSW technologies, and the operation of the MSW network, respectively. The economic target is considered to maximize the net present value. The environmental impact is the minimization of a normalized environmental objective function (NEOF).The social target is the maximization of jobs. An interesting feature about the research work is the requirement of biodrying technologies for MSW moisture content control.Due to the conflicted nature among the sustainability components, a multiobjective optimization (MO) is carried out to find the Pareto optimal solutions. The MO results show that the Pareto optimal solutions vary around profit range of $4.9-8.5 billion, NEOF impact range of 3.2-3.6 units, and social benefit range of 2700-4828 jobs.

“…Akan tetapi, insinerasi yang dibangun di dekat permukiman perkotaan banyak mendapat tentangan publik (Mubeen & Buekens, 2019) karena proses pembakaran dalam kebanyakan teknologi insinerasi menghasilkan emisi GRK seperti carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxide, organic carbon, dan logam berat radikal (Ashworth, Elliot, & Toledano, 2014). PLTSa dengan insinerasi merupakan solusi instan untuk kota yang tidak lagi mempunyai lahan untuk menampung sampahnya, seperti di Bangladesh (Hossain, Hossain, Mounir, & Ahmed, 2014) dan Uni Emirat Arab (Paleologos, Caratelli, & Amrousi, 2016). Teknologi pirolisis juga efektif untuk mengurangi volume sampah hingga 90%, namun teknologi ini sangat rumit, membutuhkan sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang terampil, dan paling tidak efisien untuk menghasilkan energi listrik.…”

The government is trying to encourage the use of renewable energy, one of which is from waste to energy power plant. Efforts to accelerate the development of the plant are carried out through Presidential Regulation Number 35 of 2018. However, only one plant has been operating commercially since May 6th, 2021. This study aims to describe the development, the obstacles, and whether the plant is a solution to meet electricity needs or environmental problems. Through qualitative research, we found that the plant in Surabaya has been operating commercially; the plants in Surakarta and DKI Jakarta are in the construction stage; the plants in Palembang and Tangerang are in the stage of confirming the developer, and the rest are still on auction stage, Pre- Feasibility Study, Outline Business Case, or Final Business Case. The high tipping fee, limited local government budget, overestimation of potential for waste as electricity, limited competent human resources, the high selling price of the plant electricity, and no bankable guarantee for investment are obstacles to the plant development. The thermal plant is an instant solution for cities with above 1.000 ton/day waste and limited land for landfills. In the future, there should be regulatory support through the Renewable Energy Bill to overcome the obstacles. In addition, there should be a careful calculation of the energy potential of waste, a minimum budget allocation of 2–3% for waste management and preparing capable human resources, providing adequate waste collection and transportation infrastructure, and educating the public on sorting waste. AbstrakPemerintah berupaya mendorong pemanfaatan energi terbarukan, salah satunya dengan membangun Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Sampah (PLTSa). Upaya mempercepat pembangunan PLTSa dilakukan melalui Peraturan Presiden Nomor 35 Tahun 2018. Namun, hingga 6 Mei 2021 hanya satu PLTSa telah beroperasi secara komersial. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan perkembangan pembangunan PLTSa, kendala-kendala dan permasalahan pengembangannya, dan apakah PLTSa solusi pemenuhan kebutuhan listrik atau mengatasi masalah lingkungan. Melalui penelitian kualitatif, diketahui 1 PLTSa sudah beroperasi secara komersial (di Surabaya), 2 PLTSa dalam tahap konstruksi (di Surakarta dan DKI Jakarta), 2 PLTSa dalam tahap sudah ada pengembang (di Palembang dan Tangerang), dan sisanya masih dalam tahap lelang, Pre-Feasibility Study, Outline Business Case, atau Final Business Case. Lambatnya pembangunan PLTSa terjadi karena tingginya tipping fee, anggaran pemerintah daerah terbatas, over estimasi potensi listrik dari sampah, keterbatasan sumber daya manusia yang kapabel, tingginya harga jual listrik PLTSa, tidak adanya insentif bagi pengembang, dan tidak adanya jaminan bankable untuk investasi. PLTSa termal merupakan solusi instan mengatasi permasalahan lingkungan untuk kota dengan produksi sampah di atas 1.000 ton/hari dan keterbatasan lahan untuk TPA. Untuk itu, perlu ada dukungan regulasi melalui RUU EBT mengenai harga jual listrik PLTSa yang bersaing, insentif bagi pengembang PLTSa, dan jaminan bankable untuk investasi PLTSa. Selain itu, perlu ada perhitungan secara cermat potensi energi dari sampah, alokasi APBD minimal 2–3% untuk pengelolaan sampah, dan menyiapkan sumber daya manusia yang kapabel, menyediakan sarana prasarana pengumpulan dan pengangkutan sampah yang memadai, dan mengedukasi masyarakat untuk memilah sampah.

“…The focus of environmental treatment is to control pollution produced directly from the sources, rather than removing it from soil, water and other such polluted bodies. Taking SWSs as the objects of environmental management and control, the challenge of ecological protection must involve promoting the reduction, harm neutralization, resource utilization and value utilization of solid waste [38]. The major SWSs that produce solid waste in Shengzhou are the landfill, sewage treatment plants, industrial production sites, urban settlements, rural settlements and livestock farms, and these should be the key objects of the at-source control of solid waste produced.…”

The focus of waste management is to control pollution produced directly from the sources, rather than removing it from soil, water and other such polluted bodies. This study defined solid waste source (SWS) as a space where solid waste is directly produced and proposed a method for measuring the solid waste generated by SWSs. Then, taking Shengzhou, China, as an example, empirical research was conducted on the spatial classification and treatment protocol of SWSs. The results show that (1) A hierarchical spatial system of SWSs can be constructed, which consists of 3 classes, 3 subclasses and 14 types. (2) The main forms of solid waste in Shengzhou are domestic waste, industrial solid waste and agricultural solid waste. According to the total amount of solid waste produced, all SWSs can be divided into five levels: maximum, large, medium, low and none produced. (3) In view of the main SWSs with a large amount of solid waste produced, three methods—combining energy-saving, emission reduction and resource utilization; multiple steps of classification, transportation, storage and treatment; and the use of piggeries with waste-absorbing land—are proposed to realize the control of solid waste pollution at-source.
