Abstract
In recent years, the issue of global warming caused by carbon emissions has attracted the attention of scholars from all walks of life. The amount of carbon emissions caused by urban activities has also been increasing. Especially, the contribution of urban household waste to carbon emissions is very high. It is the second largest global greenhouse gas. Adults are sources of emissions. The research object of this article is Shanghai Municipal Solid Waste, which simplifies the life cycle of domestic waste into two parts: transportation part and treatment part. It uses the provincial GHG inventory production method recommended by IPCC (2006) for the life of Shanghai from 2005 to 2015. Rubbish carries out carbon emission accounting and observes the changing trend of carbon emissions year by year. The results show that the production of domestic garbage in Shanghai has basically stabilized, and the proportion of household garbage disposed by sanitary landfills accounts for the most. The main carbon emissions in the transportation process are automobile vehicle tail gas emissions. The main carbon emissions in the waste treatment process are carbon emissions from sanitary landfills. The carbon emissions from landfill disposal are at a minimum, and the generation of household waste when incinerated and generated can be reduced. For Shanghai, the optimization of transportation routes and the reduction of sanitary landfill disposal of the amount of domestic waste is the most important emission reduction measure.
