About This Calculator

How the Calculator Works

1

Calorific Equivalence

We calculate the equivalent tonnage of PKS needed to produce the same energy as your current fuel, accounting for boiler efficiency differences.

2

Market Pricing

Enter the price you pay for your current fuel. PKS pricing is set by Thai Biomass and updated monthly to reflect current market rates.

3

CO₂ Calculation

Using IPCC emission factors for fossil fuels. PKS is treated as carbon-neutral per international biomass sustainability standards (ISCC/SBP).

4

Payback Period

Based on your estimated conversion investment divided by annual savings, assuming immediate full-volume operation after conversion.
