A significant amount of fugitive methane emission is generated from Municipal Solid Waste which is quantifiable amount in the overall methane emission. Relatively several models are proposed to quantify the amount of emission in the landfill. These models are based on two methods 1. Using analytical emission 2. Measurements. In this paper, the estimation of source positions and the emissions rates of the methane emission sources are done along with the fusion of Gaussian dispersion model. The bio inspired optimization model namely reinforced cuckoo search optimization algorithm is imposed on the estimation of methane emission source positions and their emission rates. Two different case studies are carried out to prove the significance of the proposed model. Also, the Briggs model is employed to analyse the performance of proposed model when the choice of parameter differs from the actual …
