SSPLAXUnit Economics
Which production mix reaches commercial volume and product requirements at the lowest modeled unit cost?
Modeled unit cost
~$2,353/tonne
Internal production
450 of 1,000 tonnes
Qualified mix
Five production sources
Composition
Blend composition
What sets the blend
Internal production fills to its 450-tonne quarterly ceiling. The least-cost qualified mix uses all five sources rather than maximizing the cheapest bridge input.
Situation
The commercial contract is larger than internal capacity, and the cheapest bridge inputs cannot fill the gap without breaking product commitments.
Model logic
Builds one 1,000-tonne product slate from five production sources with different cost and property profiles.
Internal production fills to its 450-tonne quarterly ceiling.
The least-cost qualified mix uses all five sources rather than maximizing the cheapest bridge input.
Bio-based content, performance screening, and product carbon all bind in the solved mix.
Use the qualified five-source mix at about $2,353 per tonne; improve one binding product assumption before substituting more of the cheapest input.
