"disclaimer": "Indicative, preliminary estimate. Site-specific figures, not a CIMC quotation, tariff or fuel-saving guarantee. Diesel 0.30 L/kWh is a public-datasheet assumption, not a Brazil-tower measurement, and must be validated with the operator. The Brazil delivered-diesel default includes a last-mile placeholder. With an existing LNG source, delivered-LNG cost is a model build-up, not a supplier tariff. The new regional liquefaction plant CapEx is a public benchmark, not a CIMC quotation. The Africa telecom gas work is at pilot stage only; no pilot measurements are used in this calculator.",
