Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is largely associated with the municipal solid waste (MSW) management. In order to analyze the MSW management practices, and their influences on greenhouse gas emission in Chongqing city, China, the waste reduction model(WARM); a specialized model by US EPA, was used to quantify the GHG reduction potentials of various MSW treatment options. Based on the Master Planning for the MSW Treatment Facilities in Chongqing (2005-2020), 2006 plan, 2010 plan and 2020 plan were constructed as the three scenarios of MSW treatment in Chongqing city. These three scenarios work as the baseline scenarios in the corresponding years and as alternative scenarios in the other two planning years. The results show that for the year of 2006, 2010 and 2020, the optimal MSW treatment options in Chongqing city could be 2020 plan, 2010 plan and 2020 plan respectively in terms of GHG emission reduction. As a whole 2020 plan has the largest average. of GHG emission reduction capacity, and the reduction capacity of 2006 plan is the lowest among the three.
