英文摘要	The increasing amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) is not only a challenge to our society, but also an opportunity for regional sustainable development. In this paper, we estimate the energy potential of waste through two different waste disposal methods, landfills and incineration, by the years 2030 and 2060, using the Greater Bay Area of China as an example. Also, we estimate the carbon dioxide emission reductions by energy recovery through the two disposal methods. In this paper, a waste generation model and the IPCC default method are used. Our results show that the maximum potential of electricity production from MSW for the GBA could reach 31,346 GWh by 2030 and 77,748 GWh by 2060. Based on these results, we discuss the differences in energy generation efficiency among cities and offer advice to policy makers to mitigate the gap. We suggest that incineration is preferrable compared to landfill from both aspects of energy recovery and climate concern. Furthermore, municipal governments should accelerate waste classification to lower the heating value of MSW in order to increase efficiency. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
