This paper presents greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission of refuse-derived fuel-5 (RDF-5) production from municipal waste and palm kernel. There are two cases considered in this study. Case no. I, RDF-5 was produced from municipal waste mixed with palm kernel and case no. II, RDF-5 was produced from municipal waste only or without mixing with palm kernel. Life cycle inventory (LCI) of both types of RDFs production was analyzed. Results showed that the production of 1kg of the RDF-5 contributed the GHGs emission for case no. I of 1.696kg CO2-eq, and for case no. II of 1.423kg CO2-eq. For both cases, the highest GHGs emission derived from plastic, which was one of the major material components
