An ancillary revenue stream worth pursuing, benchmarked against the incumbent supply.
Techno-economic case for a high-value byproduct produced alongside energy.
Client challenge
The developer wanted to know whether a high-value byproduct was worth the added capital, and how its economics would stack up against an established commercial competitor.
What we did
Built a standalone techno-economic model and market analysis for the byproduct line covering capital cost, operating cost, yield and price sensitivity, benchmarked its breakeven price against the incumbent facility economics, then layered in a second complementary product line.
Shape of the outcome
The platform shows a structural cost advantage over the incumbent, and the second product line improves returns materially. By identifying unique market characteristics, we were able to incorporate this business line into the overall roadmap in a way that will absorb a significant portion of first-of-a-kind cost and project risk.
