Dynamic Governance: Utilization of Waste Methane Gas as Renewable Energy (Case Study at Puuwatu Kendari Landfill)

Abstract

The use of new renewable energy (EBT) sources to meet the needs of electricity and gas in Indonesia is increasing but has not been optimally realized. Therefore, government support is needed in the use of NRE to help the community in the availability of electricity and gas. This study aims to find out the existing conditions and dynamic governance in the use of methane gas with waste energy sources at the Puuwatu Final Processing Site (TPA) Kendari City. The problem in utilizing methane gas from waste has not been optimal, so researchers want to know the existing conditions at the Puuwatu Kendari Landfill. This research uses Neo and Chen 2007 theory, that there are three capabilities in dynamic governance, namely: thinking ahead, thinking again and thinking across. This study uses post-positivist paradigm and qualitative method with data collection, namely observation, interview, and documentation. The results of this study show that the Kendari City government has been thinking long-term by preparing the Final Processing Site (TPA) land in Puuwatu, Kendari City. In addition, the government has also taken action by providing housing for waste pickers and the use of methane gas for people living in landfill areas. Not only that, the Kendari City Government has thought across borders by adopting ideas from other regions that have succeeded in synergizing with the private sector.
