Techno-Economic Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste Gasification System for Electric Generation, Case Study: City at Central Java

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) management is a problem in Indonesia because of the rapidly increasing volume and limited land. The Waste to Energy (WTE) concept is a concept that will be carried out for municipal solid waste management where the solid waste will be managed into electrical energy and reduce the volume of solid waste significantly by building a Gasification-engine system, one of which in Surakarta Central Java. MSW management infrastructure in one of the infrastructures that can be cooperated with the scheme of Public Private Partnership (PPP) in the form of investment project with a 20-years concession period and the BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer) method. Downdraft Fixed bed gasification from Ankur scientific Energy Technologies Pvt, Ltd used for electric generation. Around 300 tons/day new municipal solid waste and 700 tons/day old waste as fuel resources. Potential power generating capacity of 8 MW (Gross) with an investment cost of Rp. 367.622.450.000. Techno economic analysis used the Capital Budgeting method. Result calculations obtained NPV is positive, IRR on project of 14,5%. Operation of MSW gasification system can reduce CH4 emission with equivalent 85.126,86 tCO2/year.
