Existing-gas discount and total gas credit calculator
Existing-gas discount and total gas credit
The case adds bulk-price savings on existing gas use to recovered-heat savings. Apply the discount only when contractually supported.
Units
Sgas=Gexisting×Δcg+Sheat
Sgas=Gexisting×Δcg+Sheat
Calculator
Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.
Worked example
Given
- Gexisting = 28,000 Mcf/yr
- Δcg = 0.7 $/Mcf
- Sheat = 64,000 $/yr
Sgas=28,000×0.7+64,000=83,600
Given
- Gexisting = 800,000 m³/year
- Δcg = 0.025 $/m³
- Sheat = 60,000 $/yr
Sgas=800,000×0.025+60,000=80,000
