The objective of this study was to estimate the potential for greenhouse gas reduction from the implementation of 'Clean Development Mechanism' in the swine farms in Thailand. The 'Clean Development Mechanism' is compatible with anaerobic system. Thus, the farms that treated wastewater by anaerobic systems were evaluated for the potential and valve of greenhouse gas reduction. In addition, biogas production and electricity generation were assessed. The swine farms treated wastewater by an anaerobic system have the annual potential in methane reduction was 7.8 million tons or the equivalent of 164.8 million tons of carbon dioxide. This was worth about 84,838.2 million baht. For biogas production, 577,733 livestock units were able to produce 179.2 million/cu m. The estimated annual potential electricity generation was 215.1 million units and valued about 494.7 million baht.
