The purpose of this research is to estimate a quantity of methane emission generated from solid waste disposal site at Saen Suk landfill, Chonburi, Thailand.  The composition of the waste is characterized and the leachate is tested.  The methane emission from solid waste is estimated by using IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Chamge) models, i.e. (i) zero-order mass balance model and (ii) first-order decay model.  The methane emission from leachate is estimated by IPCC default model.  The coments and applicability of the obtained results are discussed.
