Landfill is a place where waste reaches the final stage. The piles of waste can generate greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming the potential of climate change. The greenhouse gas emission generates from the piles of waste is CH 4 emission. The research purpose is to count CH 4 emission in the waste landfill in Medan city located in Terjun, projection CH 4 emission for ten years later is 2020-2029 and decisive the effort reduction of CH 4 emission. The scenarios of reducing CH 4 emission in Terjun waste landfill reduce the potential CH 4 emission for ten years later. The calculation of CH 4 emission from the piles of waste in Terjun waste landfill using FOD method (First Orde Decay) by IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) in 2006. In 2019, CH 4 emission in Terjun waste landfill was 12,350.750-ton CH 4 and had an uplift in 2029 can reach 17,143.087-ton CH 4 . There are two scenarios for reducing CH 4 emission in the Terjun waste landfill; the first is the processing of waste in the source (composting), and the second is reducing the waste by using incineration technology Terjun landfill. The first scenario (composting) can reduce CH 4 emission by 14.80%. The second scenario can reduce by 63.37% the CH 4 emission in Terjun waste landfill. The chosen alternative scenario for reducing CH 4 in the Terjun waste landfill is the first scenario, the processing of waste in the source (composting).
