Indonesia’s Lampung province has entered into a strategic partnership with a Malaysian company to convert waste into renewable energy, marking a significant push toward building a green industrial ecosystem.
The Lampung Provincial Government signed a memorandum of understanding with Citaglobal Berhad to develop projects that will transform urban and industrial waste into power. The initiative is part of a broader effort to shift the region toward sustainable and circular economy practices, Marketscreener reported.
The collaboration focuses on setting up a waste-to-energy facility that will use advanced German technology to process municipal waste and generate electricity. The project aims to address growing waste volumes while reducing reliance on landfills and supporting the local power grid.
Lampung has been identified by the central government as a priority region for such integrated environmental solutions, given its proximity to the national capital and strong logistics network.
In addition to municipal waste, the partnership will explore the use of agricultural residues. Plans include converting Palm Oil Mill Effluent and other biomass into biogas that can be used to fuel industrial power plants.
The agreement also includes feasibility studies for floating solar projects on three dams in the province, each with a potential capacity of 150 to 200 megawatts, along with a mangrove restoration programme aimed at generating carbon credits.
