Course description
Students will assess energy and greenhouse gas abatement investment options through the application of a range of methodologies and tools, including cost benefit analysis, life cycle analysis, marginal abatement cost curves and portfolio analysis. Assessment criteria will encompass a range of factors, including those related to technology cost, carbon cost and project financing. Selection criteria and implementation strategies associated with infrastructure, network issues, maturity and scale, as well as social and environmental considerations, will also be explored. Importantly, emphasis is placed on the assessment tools rather than specific technology options.
