Technology Scenarios and Portfolios

High-level decision makers are faced with uncertainty about the way that technology will affect future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels and the associated needs for research, development, and deployment (RD&D). Technology scenarios can help address this uncertainty. Well-constructed scenarios of GHG-reducing technologies provide credible backing for emissions estimates and input for investment decisions.

Energetics’ expertise in clean energy technology and economics helps clients generate informed climate technology scenarios, and our associated decision support capacity facilitates optimal portfolio allocations that meet GHG emissions goals. Our subject-matter experts understand the nature of climate technology innovation in areas such as wind, biomass, hydrogen, nuclear, industries, transportation, and buildings, and use that understanding to develop realistic technology scenarios and related needs for RD&D investment portfolios.
