Optimizing the economic performance of CMI technologies
John Sutherland at Purdue University leads the CMI project "Optimizing the economic performance of CMI technologies"
Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) is a technique that combines production cost modeling with customer/financial analysis to provide decision-making insight to research and development. Our commitments calls for: (1) performing TEAs in collaboration with CMI researchers at the earliest technology readiness level (TRL) stage possible; and (2) developing a TEA software tool for CMI scientists/engineers.
