As a co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Ailesh Power, Fano Alfian has a strong vision to pursue circular economy with PT Ailesh Indo Energi, PT Aisindo Global Energi, PT Ailesh Green Consulting, PT Biogen Energi Semesta, and Ailesh Global Teknologi as part of Ailesh Power

The big idea to establish AIlesh Power started from a concern about the gap between researcher and industry in Indonesia so he and Cahaya Prautama found a research team named Green Energy UGM. They have the same spirit and enthusiasm in project development bioenergy including his experience as researcher and project manager of waste-to-energy sector for 3 years proven with any research that can be recognized and published in conference and won some competition. After covering 2 projects, Green Energy had transformed into AIlesh Power on March 15th, 2018. By establishing AIlesh Power, it can boost the dream of Fano for bridging the gap between Academicians and industry. Now, his main focus is growing biogas, waste management platform, waste-to-energy solution, and other affordable clean energy.

In addition, Fano is currently catalyzing a startup and small-medium enterprise ecosystem as a business development assistant.

Indonesia has a lot of environmental issues in terms of waste management and carbon emission. In terms of waste management, Indonesia produces 64 million ton of household waste annually, with almost 60% organic waste, 14% plastic waste, and the rest is residual. In other sectors, Indonesia also produces 200 million tons of biomass residue that has 32 GW potential yet the utilization is just 6%. All the waste problem is not only contributed from downstream as its utilization, but also from upstream as waste producers. IN terms of household waste, almost 81% people in Indonesia can't separate their waste based on type of waste. So our solution is to propose an end-to-end waste management system by providing a digitalization system on waste's inventory database, waste collection system, waste utilization into usable and renewable resources, and its market development. Our services will be digitized to create a sustainable waste management ecosystem

The main strength of our services is creating a digital waste management ecosystem. We connect small-scale waste management in rural communities to large-scale use in global markets. The use of digitization also supports the Indonesian government's program of national co-firing and the development of sustainable innovation by companies.

We are targeting to cover 1,000 local communities or governmental bodies from Central Java, East Java, and Bali, with 25% is our serviceable obtained communities as an optimistic target. From that, we focus on 10% of that number is to partnering with village-owned enterprises helped by the local governmental body and also This is 12%-15% increasing on job creation. To achieve that target, we are conducting any forum with the local government, and a 3-month free pilot project. We are currently partnering with the Village and community services agency of Gianyar Government, in Bali in order to invite 50 small farmer organizations and village-owned enterprises to join the partnership mode. In the clause, we will cover 3,000 pigs to utilize its dung into biogas by a 50 m3-biogas plant. The partnership has been formalized and we partner with taro’s village government to build this ecosystem. Technical feasibility and life cycle study is on progress and a local partner has held in cooperation. Our team also joined training certification to upgrade skill and competency in environmental impact assessment and consulting.
