鑒於台灣行政院環保署為因應全球暖化的國際議題，進而積極推動「溫室氣體減量法」，其中包含了產業部門、運輸部門及民生部門進行溫室氣體盤查調查，而在此研究中將針對環保部門的掩埋場及焚化爐此類固體廢棄物處理廠做溫室氣清冊的建立，以及掩埋場的減量策略分析。
其中的清冊的建立，是以根據IPCC的方法論來計算評估其排放量，且進而對於排放的不確定性做分析，以了解排放清冊中的準確性及各個參數影響的相關性，而其中分別利用了Monte Carlo simulation 及Error Propagation方法來分析建立不確定性，且進而比較其結果的差異跟優缺點。
為了建立掩埋場的溫室氣體減量策略，我們比較調查了各國提交給「聯合國氣候變化綱要公約(UNFCCC)」的溫室氣體清冊報告，從了解各國的垃圾排放潛勢(CO2-eq/噸垃圾)而進一步得知相關的設備應用(FUKUOKA method)；且也對於國內各掩埋場的設備做了調查，發現掩埋甲烷廢氣回收管線的有無設置及設置優劣的發生，而也針對這點做為減量策略的考量。

Base on the information of solid waste treatment (i.e., incineration and landfills) in Taiwan, we estimate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission associated with municipal solid waste (MSW). Meanwhile, we identified three different variations of allocation methods in national inventory reports submitted to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In order to illustrate the uncertainty of results propagated by input variables, Monte Carlo simulation and Error propagation are both considered in this case study, besides the uncertainty of result, the sensitivity between inputs and output variables could be recognized in Chapter 4.
In terms of the GHG emission potential in various counties, we depicted four countries data and compared with Taiwan to show the discrepancy of GHG emission potential. Therewith the result of comparison, Japan has the lowest emission potential among the other countries. Thus, the technology (i.e. Fukuoka method) have been utilizing in Japan are considered as the scenario of GHG reduction to Taiwan, besides, landfill gas collection system are also considered as the scenario of GHG reduction to effect of GHG emission from landfill.
