Explore the modelling work behind project selection: material balances, net energy, product routes, commercial sensitivity and lifecycle carbon.
6 topics
Compare viable processing routes using representative material data and customer output specifications.
Account for utilities, internal electricity, gas conditioning, downstream conversion and usable products across the full boundary.
Test treatment income, product sales, operating costs and capital assumptions separately. Use the live illustrative calculator as a starting point.
Compare the complete project with a defined baseline and distinguish fossil from biogenic material.
Potential uses include organising technical literature, extracting assumptions and checking documentation consistency, with expert review.
Define the appropriate interface between engineering models, equipment suppliers and operating data during development.
The live calculator uses transparent arithmetic. This website does not run an AI engineering model, predict feedstock yields or provide an automated investment decision. Engineering results require a documented model and review.
Change treatment income, net energy sales, costs and capital. See the arithmetic update as you change each assumption.
Share your feedstock, site or product requirement for an initial technical and commercial discussion.
