Carbon Capture & CO₂ Compression Equipment worked example

Carbon Capture Quote Margin with quoted capture package price of 63 $: a worked example

Suppose quoted capture package price falls to 63 $. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate margin on a carbon capture or CO₂ compression equipment quote by comparing quoted price with required cost and a reference price basis.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Quoted capture package price: 63 $ (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 125)
  • Required delivered package cost: 100 $ (held at the documented default)
  • Reference quote price: 100 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Quote gross margin dollars = quoted capture package price - required delivered package cost.
  • Carbon capture quote margin works out to -37 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Quote gross margin dollars works out to -37 value at these inputs.
  • Quoted capture package price works out to 63 value at these inputs.
  • Required delivered package cost works out to 100 value at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where quoted capture package price sits at 125 $ and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 248% below the baseline at -37 %.
  • It computes gross margin as quote gross margin dollars divided by the reference quote price. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.
