This fact sheet provides organizations with guidance to screen and prioritize a portfolio based on favorable project development criteria. The overview of screening approaches outlined include:
- Qualitative screening, which focuses on assessing project development criteria related to regional geographic, state and utility, facility-organization, and site-specific factors for favorable project outcomes.
- Data modeling, which focuses on using techno-economic analysis tools that can evaluate many facilities with limited input data and the results can help prioritize specific sites for further evaluation based on economic, renewable energy, or emissions reduction metrics.
- Favorable screening outcomes by technology, which focuses on screening project development criteria that are associated with positive feasibility outcomes by specific onsite technologies.
The outcomes from the application of these portfolio-screening principles intend to support improvements in identifying projects in early stages for targeted feasibility analysis and commissioning projects which are favorably positioned for successful financial performance.
