Abstract: Converting waste to electrical energy is an effective waste management method because it can reduce the volume of municipal solid waste disposed of at the Final Disposal Site, and the electricity generated can be used as a commodity to be sold to the utility company, reducing waste management costs. However, sustainability depends on the technology chosen to process waste into electrical energy. This study explores the development of waste-to-electrical energy installations in Semarang City, Indonesia. It examines the effectiveness of gasification landfill and incinerator technologies, highlighting the challenges encountered and the lessons learned from their implementation.
