RAPID Roadmap Workshop: Technology Valuation
May 14-15, 2024 | National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, CO
RAPID® will host a facilitated workshop on Technology Valuation supporting the roadmapping efforts for the new phase of RAPID. Over one and a half days, the event will feature invited speakers, panels and discussions that will set the stage for the facilitated roadmapping workshops each afternoon. The resulting roadmap aims to inform best practices and methodologies in process technology valuation (TEA, LCA, Tech2Market, readiness levels) and tools (simulation, optimization, data, AI/ML, etc.) to support the decarbonization of the chemicals and fuels industries. The roadmaps will be key to the development of the updated RAPID continued (re)evaluation to be used in technology projects to ensure they are (still) in line with the mission of the institute as we progress.
Stay tuned for announcements.
