Abstract
CatCost™ is a state-of-the-art cost estimation tool designed to reduce the cost uncertainty associated with pre-commercial catalyst materials. The tool combines industry-standard cost estimation methods and resources into an intuitive suite of tools to bring actionable cost insight to every step of catalyst research and development. CatCost™ allows the rapid development of comprehensive catalyst cost estimates. It incorporates detailed insight into manufacturing methods, especially for pre-commercial catalysts, without requiring any process design experience.
The tool has been designed from the ground up with a number of user-selectable estimation methods, pricing libraries, and ease-of-use features to tailor an estimate to a user's skill level and need for customization, empowering researchers of all skill-levels to make better R&D decisions throughout the catalyst development cycle. Our costing methods are fully transparent and enable power-users the ability to adjust any estimate to the economic realities of their operation.
