De-risking technology adoption
The adoption of electric and hybrid process heating technologies faces significant hurdles due to a scarcity of comprehensive systems-level assessments. These assessments are critical for evaluating economic viability, lifecycle impacts, technology and market readiness, supply chain resilience and workforce development needs. To overcome these challenges, EPIXC employs meticulous data collection, advanced modeling and transparent, objective systems-level analysis to create technology and commercial indices that mitigate the risks associated with adopting these innovative heating solutions. Thorough analyses are applied to all EPIXC efforts.
Leveraging our extensive ecosystem of experts while using a portfolio of web-based decision support tools incorporating TEA, LCA, AI/M and other assessment tools, we provide systems-level analysis, simulations and validation. EPIXC’s comprehensive approach demonstrates the broader interconnectivity of technical and nontechnical factors involved in the manufacturing enterprise technology adoption decision-making, including:
- Technology upstream and downstream operational impact.
- Technology total costs-in-use for specific sectors.
- Infrastructure enhancements and manufacturing constraints.
- Supplier locations, capacity, scalability (national and regional), financial viability, reliability and overall weighted average risk index.
- Product and performance specifications and lead-time requirements.
- Barriers to entry.
- Estimates of future demand across sectors.
- Market and investment landscapes.
- National, state and local policy, regulatory and permitting landscape.
- Workforce readiness.
As part of our transparency, EPIXC incorporates a flow chart of information flows from various sources included in our sweeping outlooks. The resulting analysis reports further elucidate pathways for seamless electrified and hybrid heat process technology adoption and integration at scale for specific applications. Short summary briefs will be disseminated broadly, while exhaustive reports are available to EPIXC members only.
