JAKARTA (Indonesia Today) – Carbon Friendly Solutions Inc. (CFS) has received written confirmation from PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali (PT PJB PLN) that its bid to design and install a MicroCoal facility at the 400MW coal-fired power plant in Paiton, East Java meets all regulatory standards and requirements and can now be advanced to the first qualification stage.
“CFS is currently working closely with the an experienced Indonesian government contractor, PT Citicon Adinugraha to start analyzing data specific to the Paiton Plant and to prepare a more comprehensive construction and installation proposal,” the company said.
Currently, there are only 10 other companies whose bids for the Paiton Plant project have been cleared to the qualification stage. Based on information provided by PT PJB, CFS is the only company among the cleared bidders that utilizes microwave technology as opposed to conventional steam and other thermal drying systems. CFS views this as a significant advantage and optimistically looks forward to the next round in the Paiton Plant bidding process.
CFS, through its subsidiaries Denver-based MicroCoal Inc, Vancouver-based Global CO2 Reduction Inc., and Polish Carbiopel S.A., is focused on the development of clean energy technology, renewable energy and forestry projects. (bintang@theindonesiatoday.com)
