decision-making tools that reduce the cost of pre-feasibility studies;
disseminating knowledge to help people make better decisions; and by
training people to better analyse the technical and financial viability
of possible projects.
The Software is a unique decision support
tool developed with the contribution of numerous experts from
government, industry, and academia. The software, provided
free-of-charge, can be used world-wide to evaluate the energy
production, life-cycle costs and greenhouse gas emission reductions for
various types of energy efficient and renewable energy technologies
