Proposed scenario of low carbon development from waste sector in West Papua

Abstract

The increasing of population and economic growth, urbanization, development progress and living standard has accelerated the rate and amount of waste generation. Waste is a serious problem of a worldwide concern because of its impact on environmental pollution, health and flood disasters in some drainages and rivers. Proper waste management is needed to reduce or prevent its negative impacts. For this reason, it is necessary to identify the types of waste and their potential to produce greenhouse gas emissions in order to obtain an accurate picture in an effort to formulate policies and strategies for reducing GHG emissions. The method used was thinking system and dynamic system by looking at the BAU scenario, 29%, 41% and 44% emission reduction. Based on the model of the dynamics system, a new scenario is needed through the intervention of waste processing by 3R at TPS and TPA, applying aerobic composting, methane capture and incineration
