Carbon Capture & CO₂ Compression Equipment worked example

Carbon Credit Revenue at 92% verified eligible share: a worked example

This scenario runs the carbon credit revenue calculation on the strong side: 92% verified eligible share, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when carbon credit revenue in carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment is being put through a carbon capture and co₂ compression equipment weighted-cost review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Eligible avoided or captured CO₂: 100 t CO₂ (unchanged)
  • Carbon credit price: 45 $ / t CO₂ (unchanged)
  • Verified eligible share: 92 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 80)
  • Fixed credit bonus revenue: 250 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Verified variable credit revenue = eligible avoided or captured CO₂ × carbon credit price × verified eligible share) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,390 $ for estimated carbon credit revenue, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 43.9 $ / piece for revenue per eligible tonne co₂.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,140 $ for verified variable credit revenue.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 250 $ for fixed credit bonus revenue.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where verified eligible share sits at 80% and the headline result is 3,850 $, this scenario comes in 14.03% above the baseline at 4,390 $.
  • Use it when sizing the revenue side of a capture project, comparing offtake offers, or stress-testing a business case against different credit prices. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
