    Based on "PAS2050 Standards" guidance, combined with life cycle assessment tools and LandGEM models, carbon footprint of the whole life cycle process of the Landfill and incineration in Suzhou were calculated for a function unit one ton household solid waste. Through a detailed list of every possible greenhouse gas emissions sources, the individual sources of electricity consumption and other energy consumptions were calculated, multiplied by the coefficient of greenhouse gas emissions, at last, they were conversed to CO, equivalents greenhouse gas emissions for the city of Suzhou. The reduction of CO, emissions from electricity generation in disposal of solid waste was also taken into account.
