This project is focused on assisting R&D teams of the Critical Materials Innovation Hub to advance the technology readiness level (TRL) of their technologies via Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and/or Design of Experiment (DOE) methods. This project involves collaborations with other CMI projects to improve economic and environmental performance of innovative technologies and processes. Advanced approaches/methods such as DOEs, sensitivity analysis, process simulation, risk analysis, and supply chain analysis will be utilized in support of the project.
