Making Technoeconomic Assessments Work for You
Technoeconomic assessment (TEA) is more than just a checkbox for investors. When used effectively, it becomes a strategic tool for shaping technology development. This webinar is designed for startups and R&D-stage companies looking to make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions using quantitative insight.
Rather than following a single technology through development, we’ll highlight examples across a range of emerging water treatment technologies to show how TEA can provide value at each stage, even when data is limited and uncertainty is high. Drawing on experience from evaluating dozens of novel treatment systems, we’ll cover how TEA can:
At early stages: Evaluate impact potential, project performance and cost ranges, identify promising applications, prioritize development targets, and explore design and operating scenarios
At demonstration and scale-up: Identify technical risks, suggest optimal configurations and design, interpret pilot data, and assess commercial readiness
The session will also include practical materials to help you assess your current TEA status and scope the next steps, whether you're starting from scratch or expanding an existing effort.
