How many modules, how many hours, how many trucks.
Enter the plant load and the autonomy you need. The calculator uses LNGVault's published basis: LNG at 82,644 Btu/gal (LHV), 40% net electric efficiency, about 103 gallons of LNG per MWh.
Estimates for budgeting only. Trailer count assumes about 10,000 gallons of LNG per delivery. Lease is $4,000–5,000 per tank per month, indicative, before fuel and EPC. Final sizing depends on generation heat rate, dispatch profile, site layout, and NFPA 59A siting.
Runtime per module by facility load
