According to tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases containing methane, in
case of enclosed flares and use of the default value for the flare efficiency, the flare efficiency
in the hour h (qflare,h) is 90%, if the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare (Tflare) is
above 500 for more than 40 minutes during the hour h and the manufacturers
specifications on proper operation of the flare are met continuously during the hour h.
According to the technical specifications provided by the manufacture of the flare equipment,
the combustion temperature of the flare ranges from 600 to 1200 , which is above 500
. Hence, the default value of 90% is selected. The quantity of methane flow rate in the
residual gas flowing into the flare is calculated as following:

disposal site. The tool estimates methane generation adjusted for, using
adjustment factor (f) any landfill gas in the baseline that would have been
captured and destroyed to comply with relevant regulations or
contractual requirements, or to address safety and odor concerns. As this
is already accounted for in equation 2, f in the tool shall be assigned a
value 0
Furthermore the following guidance should be taken into account:
In the tool x will refer to the year since the landfill started receiving wastes [x
runs from the first year of landfill operation (x=1) to the year for which
emissions are calculated (x=y)];
Sampling to determine the different waste types is not necessary, the waste
composition can be obtained from previous studies.
The efficiency of the degassing system which will be installed in the project activity should
be taken into account while estimating the ex-ante estimation.
The landfill gas collection system will not collect 100% of the gas from the landfill site.
According to the FSR, 40% of the landfill gas will be collected when the landfill is open and
50% when it is closed. Therefore, as a conservative measure we will use this collection
efficiency for the emission reduction estimations.
The amount of methane that would in the absence of the project activity be generated from
disposal of waste at the solid waste disposal site (BE
CH4,SWDS,y
) is calculated with a multi-phase
model. The calculation is based on a first order decay (FOD) model recommended by the
Revised 2006 IPCC Guideline for National Greenhouse Gas Inventory. The model
differentiates between the different types of waste j with respectively different decay rates k
j
and different fractions of degradable organic carbon (DOC
j
). The model calculates the
methane generation based on the actual waste streams W
j,x
disposed in each year x, starting
with the first year after the start of the project activity until the end of the year y, for which
baseline emissions are calculated (years x with x = 1 to x = y).
According to the Tool to determine methane emissions avoided from disposal of waste at a

emission factor for the displacement of electricity
generated by power plants in an electricity system, by calculating the operating margin
(OM) and build margin (BM) as well as the combined margin (CM). The operating
margin refers to a cohort of power plants that reflect the existing power plants whose
electricity generation would be affected by the proposed CDM project activity. The build
margin refers to a cohort of power units that reflect the type of power units whose
construction would be affected by the proposed CDM project activity.

system in year y
The following seven steps are applied to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system:
STEP 1: Identify the relevant electricity system.
STEP 2: Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system
(optional)
STEP 3: Select a method to determine the operating margin (OM).
STEP 4: Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method.
STEP 5: Identify the group of power units to be included in the build margin (BM).
STEP 6: Calculate the build margin emission factor.
STEP 7: Calculate the combined margin (CM) emissions factor.
Step 1: Identify the relevant electricity system
The DNA of the host country has published a delineation of the project electricity system and
connected electricity systems, this delineation is used. Following the DNA delineation, the
project electricity system is the China Southern Power Grid (SCPG), which consists of
Guangdong Province, Guangxi Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province
Power Grids.
For the purpose of determining the operating margin emission factor, use one of the following
options to determine the CO
2
emission factor(s) for net electricity imports (EF
grid,import,y
) from
a connected electricity system within the same host country(ies):
(a) 0 tCO
2
/MWh, or
(b) The weighted average operating margin (OM) emission rate of the exporting
grid, determined as described in step 4 (d) below; or
(c) The simple operating margin emission rate of the exporting grid, determined
as described in step 4 (a), if the conditions for this method, as described in
step 3 below, apply to the exporting grid; or
(d) The simple adjusted operating margin emission rate of the exporting grid,
determined as described in step 4 (b) below.
The option (c) is selected to calculate the CO
2
emission factor for net electricity imports
(EF
grid,import,y
) from other power grid.
Step 2. Choose whether to include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system
(optional)
According to the Approval of electricity connection to China Southern Power Grid, all the
power generated by the project activity will be supplied to the power grid company. Thus, the
proposed project does not include off-grid power plants in the project electricity system
referred in apply to Tool to calculate the emission factor for an electricity system.
Step 3. Select a method to determine the operating margin (OM)
The calculation of the operating margin emission factor (EF
grid,OM,y
) is based on the
following methods:
(a) Simple OM, or
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03
CDM Executive Board
page 29
(b) Simple adjusted OM, or
(c) Dispatch Data Analysis OM, or
(d) Average OM.
Any of the four methods can be used, however, the simple OM method (option a) can only be
used if low-cost/must-run resources constitute less than 50% of total grid generation in: 1)
average of the five most recent years, or 2) based on long-term averages for hydroelectricity
production.
SCPG only possesses 26.726% of its total electricity generation that comes from renewable
energy sources in 2007, 26.292% in 2006, 30.938% in 2005, 29.912% in 2004, 41.752% in
2003, 32.938% in 2002 and 33.705% in 2001
35
. Hence, the low operating cost/must run
sources is much less than 50% of the total grid generation, which accords with the defined
condition of Option (a), but not Option (d). Consequently, Option (a) is selected to calculate
the operating margin emission factor of the proposed project.
For the simple OM, the simple adjusted OM and the average OM, the emissions factor can be
calculated using either of the two following data vintages:
Ex ante option: If the ex ante option is chosen, the emission factor is determined
once at the validation stage, thus no monitoring and recalculation of the
emissions factor during the crediting period is required. For grid power plants,
use a 3-year generation-weighted average, based on the most recent data
available at the time of submission of the CDM-PDD to the DOE for validation.
For off-grid power plants, use a single calendar year within the 5 most recent
calendar years prior to the time of submission of the CDM-PDD for validation
Ex post option: If the ex post option is chosen, the emission factor is determined
for the year in which the project activity displaces grid electricity, requiring the
emissions factor to be updated annually during monitoring. If the data required to
calculate the emission factor for year y is usually only available later than six
months after the end of year y, alternatively the emission factor of the previous
year (y-1) may be used. If the data is usually only available 18 months after the
end of year y, the emission factor of the year proceeding the previous year (y-2)
may be used. The same data vintage (y, y-1 or y-2) should be used throughout all
crediting periods.
The data vintage chosen should be documented in the CDM-PDD and not be changed during
the crediting periods.
The ex-ante option is selected for the proposed project and the three most recent years
available at the time of submission of the CDM-PDD to the DOE for validation are 2005-
2007. EF
grid,OM,y
is fixed during the first crediting period.
Step 4. Calculate the operating margin emission factor according to the selected method
The Simple OM emission factor is calculated as the generation-weighted average CO
2
emissions per unit net electricity generation (tCO
2
/MWh) of all generating power plants

serving the system, not including low-cost / must-run power plants / units. The simple OM
may be calculated:
- Option A: Based on the net electricity generation and a CO
2
emission factor of each
power unit, or
- Option B: Based on the total net electricity generation of all power plants serving
the system and the fuel types and total fuel consumption of the project electricity
system.
For the proposed project activity, the required data for the exercise of Option A is not
available and those of Option B can be obtained from official sources, and off-grid power
plants are not included in the calculation, therefore, Option B is chosen to calculate the
operating margin emission factor:
For Option B, the Simple OM emission factor is calculated based on the net electricity
supplied to the grid by all power plants serving the system, not including low-cost / must-run
power plants / units, and based on the fuel type(s) and total fuel consumption of the project
electricity system.
Option B Calculation based on total fuel consumption and electricity generation of the
system
Under this option, the simple OM emission factor is calculated based on the net electricity
supplied to the grid by all power plants serving the system, not including low-cost / must-run
power plants / units, and based on the fuel type(s) and total fuel consumption of the project
electricity system, as follows:

y = The relevant year as per the data vintage chosen in Step 3
Step 5. Identify the group of power units to be included in the build margin
The sample group of power units m used to calculate the build margin consists of either:
(a) The set of five power units that have been built most recently, or
PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT FORM (CDM PDD) - Version 03
CDM Executive Board
page 31
(b) The set of power capacity additions in the electricity system that comprise 20%
of the system generation (in MWh) and that have been built most recently.
Project participants should use the set of power units that comprises the larger annual
generation.
However, it is very difficult to obtain the data of the five power plants built most recently
because these data are considered as confidential information by the company itself and the
Grid in China. Therefore, a deviation
36
approved by the EB is applied here in the calculation
that is to calculate the new capacity additions and the proportion of each technology of power
generation. Then the weighing of capacity additions of different technologies will be worked
out. Finally the emission factor will be calculated by employing the efficiency factor
representing the best technology commercially available.
In terms of vintage of data, project participants can choose between one of the following two
options:
Option 1. For the first crediting period, calculate the build margin emission factor ex-ante
based on the most recent information available on units already built for sample group m at
the time of CDM-PDD submission to the DOE for validation. For the second crediting period,
the build margin emission factor should be updated based on the most recent information
available on units already built at the time of submission of the request for renewal of the
crediting period to the DOE. For the third crediting period, the build margin emission factor
calculated for the second crediting period should be used. This option does not require
monitoring the emission factor during the crediting period.
Option 2. For the first crediting period, the build margin emission factor shall be updated
annually, ex-post, including those units built up to the year of registration of the project
activity or, if information up to the year of registration is not yet available, including those
units built up to the latest year for which information is available. For the second crediting
period, the build margin emissions factor shall be calculated ex-ante, as described in option 1
above. For the third crediting period, the build margin emission factor calculated for the
second crediting period should be used.
For the proposed project, Option 1 is chosen to calculate build margin emission factor.
Step 6. Calculate the build margin emission factor
The build margin emission factor is the generation-weighted average emission factor
(tCO
2
/MWh) of all power units m during the most recent year y for which power generation
data is available, calculated as follows:

No matter which options for calculating BM factor mentioned in Step 5 was adopted for the
proposed project; the same issue on data availability must be addressed. Currently, it is very
difficult to get the capacity margin data of power plants in China, since these data as well as
net quantity of electricity generated and delivered to the grid and fuel consumption data in
power unit m are regarded as commercial secrets or only for internal usage. The following
deviation was adopted to calculate the Build Margin emission factor.

Project Emissions
Considering when electricity generators will be under regular maintenance and sometimes

Where:
PE

= Emissions from consumption of electricity in the project case. The project emissions
from electricity consumption (PE

) will be calculated following the latest version
of Tool to calculate baseline, project and/or leakage emissions from electricity
consumption. If in the baseline a part of LFG was captured then the electricity
quantity used in calculation is electricity used in project activity net of that
consumed in the baseline.
PE

= Emissions from consumption of heat in the project case. The project emissions from
fossil fuel combustion (PE

) will be calculated following the latest version of
Tool to calculate project or leakage CO

emissions from fossil fuel combustion.
For this purpose, the processes j in the tool corresponds to all fossil fuel combustion
in the landfill, as well as any other on-site fuel combustion for the purposes of the
project activity. If in the baseline part of a LFG was captured then the heat quantity
used in calculation is fossil fuel used in project activity net of that consumed in the
baseline.
In the project design stage, the electricity consumption of electricity in the proposed project
(PE
EC,j,y
) is very small and can be neglected, so it is set to be 0. But PE
EC,j,y
caused by
auxiliary consumption will be monitored during the crediting period and deducted form the
CERs if any.
The proposed project doesnt involve consumption of heat (PE

is set
as 0.

According to ACM0001, no leakage emission needs to be accounted.

Any comment: Oonk et el. (1994) have validated several landfill gas models based on 17
realized landfill gas projects. The mean relative error of multi-phase models
was assessed to be 18%. Given the uncertainties associated with the model and
in order to estimate emission reductions in a conservative manner, a discount
of 10% is applied to the model results.

Description: Methane correction factor
Source of data used: IPCC 2006 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories
Value applied: 1.0
Justification of the
choice of data or
description of
measurement methods
and procedures actually
applied :
Use the following values for MCF:
1.0 for anaerobic managed solid waste disposal sites. These must have
controlled placement of waste (i.e., waste directed to specific deposition
areas, a degree of control of scavenging and a degree of control of fires)
and will include at least one of the following: (i) cover material; (ii)
mechanical compacting; or (iii) leveling of the waste.
0.5 for semi-aerobic managed solid waste disposal sites. These must
have controlled placement of waste and will include all of the following
structures for introducing air to waste layer: (i) permeable cover material;
(ii) leachate drainage system; (iii) regulating pondage; and (iv) gas
ventilation system.
0.8 for unmanaged solid waste disposal sites deep and/or with high
water table. This comprises all SWDS not meeting the criteria of
managed SWDS and which have depths of greater than or equal to 5
meters and/or high water table at near ground level. Latter situation
corresponds to filling inland water, such as pond, river or wetland, by
waste.
0.4 for unmanaged-shallow solid waste disposal sites. This comprises all
SWDS not meeting the criteria of managed SWDS and which have depths
of less than 5 meters.
The proposed project involves controlled placement of waste and cover
material. Therefore, MCF is set as 1.0.
Any comment: The methane correction factor (MCF) accounts for the fact that unmanaged SWDS
produce less methane from a given amount of waste than managed SWDS,
because a larger fraction of waste decomposes aerobically in the top layers of
unmanaged SWDS.

B.7.2. Description of the monitoring plan:
>>
This Monitoring plan will set out a number of monitoring tasks in order to ensure the
complete, consistent, clear and accurate monitoring and the accurate calculation of the
emission reduction in the crediting period. This plan is mainly implemented by the project
owner with the cooperation of the grid company.
1. Monitoring data
According to the monitoring methodology of ACM0001, the parameters to be monitored are
listed in section B.7.1, mainly including the LFG flow rate captured as well as the LFG flow
rates to the flare and to power generation, the temperature and pressure of the LFG, methane
fraction of LFG, temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare, and the electricity supplied (net
generation) by the project activity. Humidity of the LFG will be monitored to convert the
LFG from wet basis to dry basis follow the standard approach
39
. Please refer to Annex 4 for
the detail calculation procedure of conversions from wet basis to dry basis.
2. Monitoring plan implementation
A CDM management team will be formed to manage all the CDM related business in the
Project Activity. The operational and monitoring manager of the plant, the Financial Chief
and the Technical Chief are responsible for collecting the information and data required by
the Monitoring Plan. When the operational manager collects and records the data, the
Financial Chief and the Technical Chief will cooperate with him to review and record the data
on the site. The internal audit will be carried on monthly. The collected information will be
documented and sent to the CDM manager or responsible staffs of the Company for the cross-
check monthly. The CDM manager will in charge of the implementation of the Monitoring
Plan and report to the General Manager of the company. The General Manager of the
Company will make the confirmations on monitoring, calculation data and reports.
The responsibilities for carrying out these tasks are illustrated in the table below:
39
According to ACM0001, methane fraction of the landfill gas and LFG flow have to be measured on
same basis (either wet or dry). In case the Tool to determine project emissions from flaring gases
containing methane is used, follow the standard approaches to convert the flow on wet basis to dry
basis. For example, refer to the procedures provided in the book Fundamentals of Classical
Thermodynamics; Gordon J. Van Wylen, Richard E. Sonntag and Claus Borgnakke; 4 Edition, 1994,
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

4. Data reporting
Since the proposed project adopts intelligent monitoring meters, the operation data could be
recorded and saved automatically. The CDM engineer is in charge of daily, weekly and
monthly management of the monitoring data, and submits a monthly monitoring report to
CDM management team.
5. QC/QA (Quality Control and Quality Assurance)
The proposed project will be implemented according to the manufactures recommended
maintenance procedures. The maintenance schedule given by the manufacture shall be
followed. The precision of the flow, the electricity and methane fraction measuring meters are
the key factors of monitoring quality.
The reliability of monitoring system is determined by precision and quality of measuring
meters, all the meters shall be purchased from professional manufacturers with national
metering certificates and QA qualified pass. The meters shall be calibrated periodically by
qualified metering instrument institutions, so as to assure the precision and steadiness of the
metering results.
The flow meters and gas analyzers will be subject to a regular maintenance and testing regime,
in accordance with the manufactures recommendations, to ensure accuracy. The gas analyzer
and the hygrometer will be calibrated once a year and the flow meters will be calibrated every
two years. The calibration frequency of power meter will be once a year, and the
thermocouple used to measuring the temperature in the exhaust gas of the flare will be
replaced or calibrated every year. All calibrations will be carried out by qualified calibration
entity(s).
Daily inspections of flow meters, gas analyzer and other devices will allow for controlling
equipment failure. If equipment fails, the supplier will be notified and repairs will be carried
out. If the damaged equipment cannot be repaired, it will be replaced at the earliest by the
same or an equivalent unit (standby tool), which has been calibrated and can be used for the
monitoring. In such case, this data will be recorded manually.
Emergency Procedure:
In case the electricity meter (M1) fails to work properly, the backup meter (M2) could be used.
The net electricity generated by the proposed project will be determined according to the
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) which will be signed between the project owner and the
grid company. The difference of power supply due to transmission loss etc. will be
determined according to the PPA.
For other meters, mostly the meter in malfunction will be replaced by standby tool until
repaired if possible. When standby tools are not enough, a backup method will be used to
achieve the readings. For example, if the flow meter F2 is in malfunction, then the readings of
F2 will be calculated as the difference of readings of F1 and F3. If there is no data recorded
during the emergency period, the project owner will not claim any emission reduction.

6. Data Management System
To keep safely the record of the data collected during monitoring, this project will set up a
complete data management system.
The project will perfect the whole monitoring procedure by developing the CDM manual,
tracking information from the primary source to the end-data calculations in paper document
format. It is the responsibility of the proposed project owner to provide additional necessary
data and information for validation and verification requirements of respective DOE. Physical
documentation such as paper-based maps, diagrams and environmental assessment will be
collated in a central place, together with this monitoring plan. All paper-based information
will be stored by the proposed project owner and kept at least one copy.
At the end of each month, the monitoring data will be filled in a spreadsheet and stored on a
hard disk or CD-ROM, and archiving of the printout of the spreadsheet is optional.
Furthermore, the project owner collects the sales receipts for the electricity supplied to the
grid as a cross-check, and compiles the monitoring report including the monitoring data and
relevant evidence at the end of each crediting year.
All the data will be kept for two years following the end of the last crediting period.
7. Monitoring Report
After the CDM project manager collects and sorts the monitored data, the monitoring report is
prepared by the project developer alone or with designated third party. The project developer
and/or the designated third party have to make sure that the format and content of the
monitoring report are consistent with the monitoring methodology in the PDD.

SECTION D. Environmental impacts
D.1. Documentation on the analysis of the environmental impacts, including
transboundary impacts:
>>
The environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the proposed project activity was conducted
by City Environmental Engineering, Science & Technology Center on October 14
th
, 2008,
considering the active national standard GB16889-2008 Solid Waste Landfill Pollution
Control Standard, and then was approved by Shenzhen Environmental protection on 17
th
August 2009. A summary of the report is listed below:
Air Quality - LFG flares or electricity generators can also produce nitrogen oxides emissions.
Emissions will be in compliance with host country legislation such as the Boiler Air
Pollutant Emissions Standards (GB13271-2001) set forth in the Chinese environmental
guidelines. However, these emissions are viewed as significantly less harmful than the
continued uncontrolled release of LFG. The Project will significantly reduce odor and
greenhouse gas emissions.
Water Quality Domestic water caused by the proposed project is fairly small and will be
merged into sewage pipe network of the Laohukeng Environmental Park and be properly
treated. The condensate mainly generated from the LFG transmission and pre-treatment
processes will be discharged into the existing leachate treatment system. Wastewater after
treated can meet the local standard DB44/27-2001. Therefore, the impact of the proposed
project to the local water quality is limited and mitigated.
Noise There will be some increase in noise from the site associated with energy recovery,
although the engines will be housed to reduce noise emissions. The impacts are likely to be
marginal given the noise typically associated with operations at the landfills. The proposed
project is fulfilling the Industry Company and Factory Noise Standards" (GB12348-90)
Level I noise standard.
Solid Waste The production process does not generate solid waste, only workers garbage
which will be sent to Laohukeng Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Center and
would not have impact on the environment.
Local land use The proposed project is located in Laohukeng Environmental Park. The
project owner signed a land use agreement with the Urban Administration Bureau of Baoan
District, Shenzhen City, in which stated that the implementation of the proposed project
would occupy the land from Laohukeng Environmetal Park for free during the agreed period.
The Laohukeng Environmental Park was owned by the local government, the land acquisition
was carried out by the government. The relevant compensation was settled before the
implementation of the proposed project. Hence, there is no requirement of compensation due
to land acquisition and resettlement.
Hence, the project has little impact on the environment.
D.2. If environmental impacts are considered significant by the project participants
or the host Party, please provide conclusions and all references to support
documentation of an environmental impact assessment undertaken in accordance with
the procedures as required by the host Party:

SECTION E. Stakeholders comments
E.1. Brief description how comments by local stakeholders have been invited and
compiled:
>>
In April 2009, staff from the project owner carried out a survey of the local residents (e.g.
Tangxiachong village) 6km away from the project location. The staff introduced the
background of the proposed project and then sent out 50 copies of questionnaire in a random
way, 50 pieces of reply were received. Among the interviewees, 8 of them are farmers, 15 are
workers, 6 is governmental official, 7 are students, 3 are teacher and 11 others. 26 of them
had junior high school education or below, 12 had high school level education, 9 had college
level education, 1 with master degree and 2 with other education level.
A consultation results discussion meeting for stakeholder comments was later issued by the
project developer, 15 representatives of local stakeholders, including governmental officials
of Local County and local residents, etc attended the meeting on Apr. 17 2009 to discuss the
questionnaires collected and further introduce the project. No negative opinion on
construction of the project is heard and environmental considerations expressed by
stakeholders are discussed on the meeting.
The questions regarding the proposed project were mainly as follows:

economic development, 19(38%) think it will contribute to the local economic
development, 19(38%) think it will has a little effect on the local economic
development, 2(4%) think it will not contribute the local economic development,
2(4%) of them are unsure and 2(4%) of them have no comment.
- 48(96%) of them support the implementation of the proposed project and 2(4%) of
them dont care;
The summary of local stakeholders meeting:
The local community possesses basically positive comments on the effects of the proposed
project. The interviewees considered that local social, economic and environmental
development would be beneficial from the proposed project. The response was overall
supportive to the project implementation.
E.3. Report on how due account was taken of any comments received:
>>
No negative comments have been received on the project. Moreover, the local community
possesses strong positive comments on the effects that the proposed project will make on the
local economy and infrastructure. During the survey some people express their concerns
about the environmental impacts of the project, such as LFG diffusion, groundwater pollution
and production safety. These concerns have been well analysed and treated in the EIA report,
and measures for mitigating the negative impacts on local bio-environment and domestic
living of local people have been well planned. With good implementation of the above-
mentioned measures, the proposed project will not have significant negative impact on the
local environment. There has, therefore, been no reason to modify the plans due to comments
received.

MONITORING PLAN
Please refer to B.7.2. in the PDD.
Calculation procedure of conversions from wet basis to dry basis
The approved methodology ACM0001 (Version 11) - Consolidated baseline and monitoring
methodology for landfill gas project activities- is applied to the Guangdong Shenzhen
Laohukeng Landfill Gas Utilization Project (hereinafter referred to as the proposed project).
The methodology states that: methane fraction of the landfill gas and LFG flow has to be
measured on same basis (either wet or dry). In case the Tool to determine project emissions
from flaring gases containing methane is used, follow the standard approaches to convert
the flow on wet basis to dry basis. For example, refer to the procedures provided in the book
Fundamentals of Classical Thermodynamics; Gordon J. Van Wylen, Richard E. Sonntag
and Claus Borgnakke; 4 Edition, 1994, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
This procedure provides procedures to measure the moisture content (MC) of the landfill gas
(LFG) and convert the LFG from wet basis to dry basis follow the procedures provided in the
book Fundamentals of Classical Thermodynamics; Gordon J. Van Wylen, Richard E.
Sonntag and Claus Borgnakke; 4 Edition, 1994, John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The relative humidity (RH) is measured by hygrometer and the temperature and pressure at
the same point are measured simultaneously. The partial pressure of vapor is determined by
multiplying the relative humidity with the saturation pressure of the vapor, which could be
read from a vapor pressure table at given temperature. The moisture content equals the ratio
of partial pressure of vapor and the absolute pressure of the LFG.
