This model calculates the uplift in FCF and NPV for a fuel-retail station that offers CO2-offsets at the point of sale, alongside selling fuel. The rationale, and the different models that could be employed are outlined in our recent deep-dive research note.
In both models shown above, annual FCF can be uplifted by 15-30%, while fuel retail stations’ NPV can be uplifted by 15-25%, depending on the portion of consumer that purchase the carbon credits.
Gross profits from selling $50/ton carbon credits may be around 3x the typical EBIT margins of retail stations, hence we explore a particular sales model that can at least double fuel retail NPVs.
