 The current energy transition will require a significant expansion of the global supply chain for critical materials needed for future renewable energy production and will touch all dimensions of the ESG framework.  

  The CEO study is a three phase, data-driven analysis of local and global environmental impacts associated with electricity generation plants.  

· Life-cycle analyses of environmental impacts associated with supply chains of select materials necessary for developing gas-fired, wind and solar power plants and batteries. 

· Life-cycle analyses of generation portfolios and transmission necessary for a reliable electricity grid. 

· End-user cost of electricity and social cost of externalities under various scenarios  of generation portfolios.
