Every ton sent to disposal returns $0. Under a 30-year COA, the same ton generates a Circular Royalty of $120 — and that return grows every year for three decades.
Disposal spending has always been a one-way cost. Carbotura changes that equation — permanently.
The Circular Royalty = TMC Fee × 120% (escalating +1pp/year). The TMC Fee replaces what was previously lost disposal spending — and then returns more than it cost, 13 months later on a rolling monthly basis. Every $100 paid in Year 1 becomes $120 received in Month 13. Every $100 paid in Year 10 becomes $155.95 received 13 months later. At steady state, the Circular Royalty is designed to exceed the TMC Fee on a per-ton basis — turning a cost center into a revenue stream for 30 years.
