Pea Coal Calculator

The pea coal calculator allows you to quickly estimate fuel consumption and energy cost — PLN/MWh for your installation. It takes into account batch parameters such as MJ/kg, moisture, ash and sulphur, as well as system efficiency, losses, logistics/JIT and fuel-related operating costs, including handling and waste management. The results are indicative — final values depend on the actual batch parameters confirmed in the COA and the agreed delivery terms.

Select the segment — consumer or industrial — and the fraction. The calculator estimates energy in fuel, useful energy, consumption and cost per MWh. Parameters are indicative — final values should be confirmed by the COA for each batch.

Installation parameters

Energy estimate from power (MWh/year)

Segment and fuel parameters

Price and operating costs (TCO)

The consumer segment assumes a smaller installation, shorter operating season, a higher share of bagged deliveries and higher handling costs per tonne. The industry / energy segment assumes larger volumes, more frequent bulk or big-bag deliveries and slot planning, including JIT.
