Industrial Technology Decarbonization Pathways

EAF, H₂ Boilers, CCUS; CAPEX/OPEX/IRR; Scenarios

Board-Level-Capital-Allocation-Models für Major-Technology-Transitions (Electrification, Hydrogen, CCUS). Jeder Pathway enthält TRL, Dependencies, Grid Impact, Downtime und IRR/NPV-Sensitivity zu Carbon Pricing.

Visualisiert

  • Current vs Target State per Asset Class (Steel, Boilers, Cement)
  • Stranded-Asset-Risk und Book Value Exposure
  • CAPEX/OPEX Deltas, IRR/NPV/Payback, Carbon Cost Avoided
  • Grid Reinforcement und Renewable PPA Requirements
  • Scenario Engine vergleicht Conservative vs Aggressive vs Net-Zero

Verwendet für

  • Board-Level-Capital-Allocation-Entscheidungen für Technology-Transitions
  • Validierung von Technology-Readiness und Dependencies
  • Optimierung von Pathway-Selection basierend auf Carbon-Pricing-Sensitivity
