Consultant, Business and Financial Plan, Plastic to Fuel Initiative
Landscape Indonesia, through its Circularity Program and its Landscape Incubation Facility for the Environment (LIFE) is developing a project that is considered as a social green business. This is an initiative to turn plastic waste into liquid energy utilizing pyrolysis technology, contributing to reducing plastic waste in Indonesia. Landscape Indonesia wishes to scale up the utilization of pyrolysis devices throughout the country. As such, Landscape Indonesia is seeking a Consultant to assist with the development of the business plan, especially of the financial plan, to scale up throughout the country.
Landscape Indonesia, in collaboration with Yayasan Rumah Literasi Hijau (Rumah Hijau) and Yayasan Get Plastic (Get Plastic), has successfully carried out a pilot project in utilizing two pyrolysis devices in Pulau Pramuka, Kepulauan Seribu, DKI Jakarta. The pyrolysis devices were developed and built by Get Plastic, while Rumah Hijau hosts and utilizes the devices in its already well-managed waste bank in Pulau Pramuka. It has managed to reduce a significant amount of plastic waste and produced liquid fuel that is tested to be at the same standard with regular diesel fuel, through three laboratory testing and two field testing. The fuel produced has been used by the fishing boats locally.
The scaling up process will be staged. First, the pilot project will be extended towards the whole Kepulauan Seribu’s 11 populated islands, and a handful of other areas in Jawa, Bali, and Lombok. Second, the country-wide scaling up will be executed alongside the expansion of the pilot projects.
