RV-CMP Public.

An indicative carbon-project economics calculator. Mass balance from IUPAC 2021 stoichiometry, revenue and opex on user-supplied inputs, IRR and NPV via Newton-Raphson on the annuity formula, with a strict no-double-counting audit on the CO₂ ledger. Calibrated Saudi reference scenarios remain in the internal RV-CMP engine.

Instrument 03 of the digital layer. It models the cost, price, and return behind each product the chain can make.

Public layer · what it shows

Stoichiometric mass balance, revenue stack, opex stack, IRR / NPV / payback, no-double-counting audit. Every input is user-supplied with industry-neutral defaults — no Renewable Vision Saudi calibration baked in.

Internal layer · scoped through engagement

Saudi-calibrated cost defaults, ten validated reference scenarios (Pilot 20 kt → 20-plant 4 Mt), royalty structure and engagement model, audit ledger with claim-holder map, 110-assertion Python-parity integrity tests.

Methodology and caveats

Output is indicative, intended for early-stage scenario exploration, not project decision-making. The calculator does no equipment sizing, no rigorous heat integration, and no capital cost estimation. A rigorous commercial process simulator or equivalent FEED engagement remains the next step for any specific project.

User-supplied indicative values · not for project decision-making. Every input below is generic industry-benchmark midpoint, not Renewable Vision's Saudi-calibrated assumptions. Override each value with your own scenario. Results are illustrative output of the public calculator; the calibrated reference scenarios are scoped through a separate engagement.

Calibrated reference scenarios · request access
This public calculator runs on neutral industry-benchmark inputs. The internal RV-CMP engine includes Saudi-calibrated cost defaults, ten validated reference scenarios (Pilot 20 kt → 20-plant 4 Mt), and a no-double-counting audit ledger. Access is scoped through engagement.
Move from indicative to calibrated.

The Saudi-calibrated reference scenarios, royalty structure and engagement model, and 110-assertion Python-parity integrity tests live in the internal RV-CMP engine. Access is scoped through engagement.
