Bogor, Indonesia

This project aims to apply hydro-pyrolysis technology to improve solid waste management in community level and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the waste sector. The technology can quickly processes household waste into marketable goods, and reduces both the amount of waste transported to landfill and accumulated waste in landfill. Indeed, the project will reduce CO2 from fuel combustion and methane from decaying waste. The technology could reduce organic waste up to 9.6 ton (5.83%) per year and GHG emissions up to 1.99 tCO2e (20.28%) in 2030.
The proposed project also promotes circular economy through the production of valuable products from the waste i.e. solid and liquid fertilizers, with potential profit for community is up to USD 1,631 per year. The business community will provide job opportunities for the community and source of livelihood from the production and selling of marketable products from the community’s wastes.

The objective of this proposed activity is to utilize the methane gas from the decomposition process of domestic wastewater in the communal wastewater treatment plant at Sindang Sari Village. The projected qualitative impact is to support Bogor greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target (which is being compiled) by utilization of methane gas production for cooking purposes. While for quantitative impact is to reduce the GHG emissions from LPG consumption of approximately 10 kg/month at 5 households or equivalent to 50 kg/month by replacing it with the methane gas production from the communal wastewater treatment plant.
