Unifying thermophotovoltaic performance metrics with technoeconomics: the relative importance of efficiency vs. power density

(2/3) Climate startups have to follow the same rules as anyone else:
- They need paying customers (n.b. “The Grid” is not a customer!)
- Customer lifetime value must exceed customer acquisition cost
- Awesome tech doesn't replace business discipline + sound technoeconomics

adding this to my internal heuristic database for energy storage technoeconomics

I'd like to do an RFB technoeconomics post eventually, so that people can play with the numbers themselves

BT’s CEO is right - UK telecoms costs are still too high.

Our techno-economic and network modelling expertise help operators and policymakers make smarter, data-driven investments.

They're cooking limestone to get the lime, thus releasing CO2 in the process. This makes me doubt the technoeconomics of this compared to say just grinding basalt or olivine.

They say it's half the energy input of DAC, but I want to see the comparison vs other ERW techniques.

pretty standard in energy technoeconomics & system models. But (ducks) learning curves & experience curves are a backward looking indicator

Hi Bluesky! I am a chemical engineering postdoc 🇦🇺 who looks at process models and technoeconomics of precision fermentation, and other bioproduction processes to support building the bioeconomy. Interested in multidisciplinary research, including various sectors working together to achieve goals.

At which point I said, approximately, “Not another fucking algae company!”

Because I had spend the previous 15 years, mostly with Bio-era, looking at the technoeconomics of algal-based chemical production and found it wanting.

I *want* that to work, but it just doesn’t. Yet, anyway.

Curtailed electricity is an opportunity to be exploited but it is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for poor technoeconomics. If your usage of curtailed electrons is inefficient, investors will fund someone who can exploit that cheap power more efficiently.

Need all the old skills plus a bunch of new ones to deal with rapid technological change, disinformation, & the climate crisis. Successful industrial strategy requires a deep partnership with communities, & deep understanding of technoeconomics. New skills & disciplines, & subject matter expertise.

Why is plastic recycling categorically different from metals recycling, which is highly successful, other than the technoeconomics involved, which can shift?
