Indonesia: The Jakarta administration has commenced the construction of the Rorotan refuse derived fuel (RDF) plant on a 7.8-hectare site in North Jakarta, aiming to process 2,500t/day of waste. The US$75m project is funded from the 2024 regional budget and is expected to be completed by December 2024 and start operations in early 2025. The city of Jakarta produces nearly 8,000t/day of waste, the majority of which goes to the Bantar Gebang landfill in West Java. The facility will convert 35-40% of the waste processed into about 875t/day of alternative fuels.

The Rorotan facility is the second RDF plant initiated by the Jakarta administration, following the Bantar Gebang facility, which began operations in 2023. This new facility marks a shift from the planned waste-to-energy incinerator in Sunter, which was cancelled due to high costs and bureaucratic delays.

Acting Jakarta governor Heru Budi Hartono said "This technology is still a very small part of our larger efforts to address the city's waste problem."

Head of the Jakarta Environment Agency Asep Kuswanto said "The RDF can become another source of revenue for the city, as we can sell the alternative fuel from the facility to industry."

Indonesia: Loesche has set up a full service hub in Jakarta, Indonesia. The office has been in full operation since January 2014 and focuses on plant modernisation and spare part supply, as well as on site support with all kinds of services for audits, maintenance, installation and commissioning activities in the entire Indonesian region.

Loesche has been present in the Indonesian market for more than 40 years and can now focus on closer client relationships and faster reaction times for the benefit of the local market. A one-day seminar took place in the Le Meridien Hotel in Jakarta on the 27 March 2014, introducing the Group's portfolio and activities. Apart from Indonesian cement producers, a wide audience from the coal mining sector attended. In addition to well-known technology for the cement sector, Loesche also introduced the newly patented coal enhancement process, which attracted much interest, especially as Indonesian miners are looking for a professional solution for coal upgrading.
