waste-to-energy pilot that is aimed at converting the organic fraction of
municipal solid waste into biogas through the process of anaerobic digestion.

UCLG-ASPAC have shortlisted four cities in Indonesia for hosting a
waste-to-energy pilot that is aimed at converting the organic fraction of
municipal solid waste into biogas through the process of anaerobic digestion.
Key success factors for implementing the pilot will be the identification of sources
of relatively clean organic municipal waste (e.g. waste from vegetables markets
or slaughterhouses), the choice of an appropriate location for the plant, and
the existence of a reliable source of demand for the biogas generated from the
project or its products.
To
this end, a consultant (or team of consultants) will be engaged to conduct a survey
in Malang Regency to identify characteristic of agriculture waste. The study
