Project Credits Simulator

EEC & REC Project Credits Simulator v1.2.0

Scope note: This calculator models carbon project credit cashflows only (EEC/REC issuance, revenue, vesting). Equity, SAFE, and convertible offers are exit-driven and are not modelled here — use the Project Finance Calculator for those structures. Equity offers are mutually exclusive with the carbon-project instrument mix.

CCUS / Industrial CCS (VM0049)

Compliance: EU ETS

CCUS Projects & SDG Synergies

SDG 9: Industrial innovation — point-source capture at cement, steel, refining facilities.
SDG 13: Hard-to-abate sector decarbonisation; permanent geological storage.
SDG 11: Cleaner industrial zones, reduced local air pollutants alongside CO₂.

VM0049 (Verra, June 2024): modular CCS methodology covering geological storage, CO₂ utilisation, and transport pathways. 45Q tax credit provides a $60–85/t USD policy floor in the US.

EV Fleet Credits (VM0038)

Voluntary: REC (Med-Low)

EV Fleet Projects & SDG Synergies

SDG 7: Clean transport powered by renewable electricity.
SDG 11: Sustainable cities — reduced urban air pollution, quieter streets.
SDG 13: Transport decarbonisation; CORSIA-aligned fleet credits.

VM0038 (Verra): telematics-verified VKT reduction, smart charging, baseline grid displacement. Transport credits are the fastest-growing VCM segment (46.4% CAGR). DePIN sensor networks add verifiability premium.

Feeds & Endpoints

Primary endpoint: /wp-json/tenza/v1/prices (Auto tries relative; falls back to https://tenza.one/wp-json/tenza/v1/prices).

Project data: /wp-json/wp/v2/tenza_project (loads meta: emissions, funding, scores, stage, tech type).

Venues: ICE (EUA), CME (GEO / N-GEO), EEX (GO); I-REC registry (regional indications); EEC modeled.

FX: ECB euro reference (cached daily).

Methodology

Forecast outlook: Conservative/Base/Optimistic scale the 2035 multiplier path and apply a sale-realisation haircut; small discount-rate nudge reflects risk.

REC pricing: V-REC/GO/I-REC converted to selected units (MWh or tCO₂e-eq via EF) and currency; tier factor applies to REC/EEC classes.

Financials: All internal calculations in the selected currency. Annual net flow = (credit revenue × (1−haircut) + optional savings) − O&M. KPIs: IRR (Newton-Raphson), NPV and discounted payback at your rate.

Currency handling: Capex, O&M and savings are all in the selected currency. Credit prices are converted from their native currency via ECB rates.

Standards & Registries

Primary standards: Verra (VCS) & Gold Standard. Tool is Verra-first but surfaces Gold Standard context where relevant.

Market intel: See AlliedOffsets (market/registry analytics) and Gold Standard Dashboard for reference data and methodologies.

Demo Data

When LIVE is unavailable or Demo is selected, seeded baselines are used for tickers and trends so charts never render blank. Badges above clearly show DEMO.

Project selector fetches live data from the WordPress REST API. If the API is unreachable, the selector is hidden and manual inputs remain fully functional.
