A chemical compounds called greenhouse-gas is defined and limited at operating incinerator to make energy from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Despite the diversity of the greenhouse gases that real exist to environment, many countries used a few chemical compounds as greenhouse-gas to make their policy rule, therefore, it need to analysis to another compounds that could led to increase temperate on planet. In study, we aimed to calculate GWP of H2S as odorous that IPCC didn’t focused, from that result we prepare to enhanced greenhouse gas ranges upcoming and research MSW treatment capacity in incinerator at Jeollabuk-do and finally estimated that greenhouse effect of H2S. First using FT-IR, we obtained radiative forcing and H2S GWP from Elrod’s spreadsheet. After performing, we made equations related with functions to GWP, chemical H2S characteristics, throughput by waste statistics of government. As a result, CO2 emissions (ton/year) converted from H2S is shown to range of 0.001 ~ 1.583 tCO2eq at Jeollabuk-do. According to estimation, it is considered that greenhouse-gas effect as H2S to be small compared with total CO2 emissions from Jeonju-si (201,298 tCO2eq) and Iksan-si (48,959 tCO2eq) incinerator through “greenhouse gas inventory & research center of Korea”.
