Combustion Characteristics of Chlorine-free Solid Fuel Production from Municipal Solid Waste by Hydrothermal Process Journal of Energies ISSN 1996-1073 http://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies (October, 2012)
An experimental study on converting municipal solid waste (MSW) into chlorine-free solid fuel using the combination of the hydrothermal process and the water-washing has been performed. After the product was extracted from the reactor, water-washing experiments were then conducted to obtain chlorine-free products with less than 3,000 ppm total chlorine content. A series of combustion experiments were then performed for the products before and after the washing process to determine the chlorine content in the exhaust gas and those left in the ash after the combustion process at a certain temperature.

The energy supply is one of things that continually required by human, but due to the fossil energys nature as a non-renewable energy resource, it can be ascertained that its supply is increasingly diminished. In the other side, many developing countries including Indonesia have been facing with a complex problem on how to appropriately handle municipal solid wastes (MSW). This circumstance stimulates human to search for the other alternative energy as a solution which should also environmentally friendly. In this paper, the research of converting MSW into chlorine-free solid fuel using the combination of hydrothermal process and water- washing has been performed.

Conversion of Municipal Solid Waste into Fuel in Indonesia Inovasi Online (in Bahasa Indonesia) ISSN: 2085-871X - Vol.15/XXI http://io.ppijepang.org (November, 2009)
Treating municipal solid wastes (MSW) not only solves the problem associated with the waste disposal in Indonesia but also creates environmental friendly renewable energy to utilize it in boilers, and this helps in reducing the amount of national usage of coal which is one of main sources of the global warming. In this context, a technology to convert MSW into a useful form of energy as a part-substitute for coal, will gain a greater importance at the present Indonesian scenario especially for power industries.

Indonesia Energy and Environment Book as Author http://bayu.in (February, 2008 - in progress)
Energy and Environment Book in collaborate with Prof. Rinaldy Dalimi, PhD (expertise in Power Energy). While energy has long been an important topic, concerns about humans environmental footprint, such as that due to carbon dioxide, and concerns about security and rapid global development, have recently brought this field to the forefront. These include technological innovations for fossil fuel systems with primary emphasis on carbon dioxide mitigation, and control of fine particle and other pollutant emissions. Our vision for the Energy and Environment area is to hire strategically in high impact areas that compliment existing strengths, with the goal to address nationally recognized basic research needs that will spark the innovations necessary to close the enormous gap that exists between state-of-the-art technology and the staggering requirements for a future of renewable energy.

Research Interests
Renewable and Alternative Energy The study will address the technical, management, economics and analytical challenges that need to be tackled in order to enable high penetration levels of solar, wind, biomass (including waste) and other renewable energy technologies. By examining how renewable technologies can be combined with storage, controls and other appropriate technologies, expects to build the foundation for realizing a high penetration renewable energy future while enhancing its supply to the global energy. In addition, by directly engaging utilities and other stakeholders in this study, expects to build the confidence of regulators and utilities with respect to maximizing the use of renewable energy technologies.
Waste to Energy Technology How to reduce the effects of municipal solid waste (MSW) on health, environment or aesthetics was a never ending problem, both in developing and developed countries. But nowadays as the technology is being advanced and improved, the view on waste is also consequently changed. Many people today realize that wastes have advantages and should be considered to have important economical values due to its capability to be recycled and recovery as high value- added material such as fuel or fertilizer. In addition, appropriate waste management also needs to be concerned considering its implementation has unique characteristics in different places even in developing or developed countries.
Energy and Environmental Economics Energy is central to social and economic well-being. It provides personal comfort and mobility, and is essential to most industrial and commercial wealth generation. However, energy production and consumption place considerable pressures on the environment, including contributing to climate change, damaging natural ecosystems, tarnishing the built environment and causing adverse effects to human health. While these areas may be considered separately, they are strongly interrelated. For example, improvements in energy efficiency both benefit security of supply by reducing the amount of energy consumed and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants by reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. On the other hand, energy market liberalization and more price competition benefit competitiveness through reduced costs, but unless external costs are fully internalized and energy demand management improves, the reduction of costs may bring price reductions that are likely to act as a disincentive to energy saving and even encourage energy consumption.
