GREENHOUSE GASES INVENTORY AND UNCERTAINTY ASSESSMENT FOR SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ACTIVITY IN 2014

Abstract

This paper presents the application of 2006 IPCC Guideline for National Greenhouse Gases Inventory for calculating greenhouse gases emissions from solid waste disposal activity in Viet Nam in 2014; and the application of IPCC Good Practice Guidances for assessing uncertainty of emission results. As a results, green house gases emissions from landfills in 2014 is approximately 9.2 million ton of CO₂ equivalent. Emission trend from this sector is increasing rapidly compared to the period before 2005. The uncertainty of greenhouse gases emissions result is around 59.6% which is mainly due to the use of default emission factors.
