The potential of electrical power generation based on organic waste utilization at Tamangapa landfill Makassar

Abstract

Abstract Waste is one of environmental pollution contributor. Waste utilization for electrical generation is an alternative solution. Based on existing data, average amount of waste at Tamangapa landfill Makassar in 2010-2016 were 223,637 tons. The organic waste was approximately 50%, around to 111,818 tons. With rotary kiln incinerator technology, the calculation result showed that existing organic waste (2010-2016) could to generate 29.678 MW of electrical power or 259,978.345 MWh of electrical energy. The prediction by trend analysis method states that in 2026, the amount of organic waste can reach 176,230,390 tons. It can generate 46.773 MW of electrical power or 409,735.657 MWh of electrical energy. This value is equivalent with construction of two distributed generation (DG) units with 2x30 MW capacities.
