IEDO/AMMTO Strategic Analysis Team Led by Joe Cresko (DOE IEDO) Abstract OFFICE OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY & RENEWABLE ENERGY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY This poster presents examples of other areas of analysis, include project & portfolio impacts (Introspective Portfolio Assessment (IPA)), manufacturing environmental & social justice, and portfolio-level analysis (e.g., quantifying technology adoption levels & savings). Addressing environmental justice and energy equity is integral to meet manufacturing decarbonization goals and analysis. Portfolio-level analysis aims to inform the office on the overall impacts of funded R&D while striving to reduce risk & uncertainty . Introspective Portfolio Assessment (IPA) AMMTO & IEDO JOINT PEER REVIEW

TECHTEST is IPA’s integrated LCA/TEA-based spreadsheet tool, featuring an analysis flow tailored to IEDO/AMMTO projects and metrics EERE Environmental Justice Indicators Manufacturing Environmental & Social Justice The social vector of sustainable manufacturing is an under-researched area within technology driven programs. Through this analysis, the StA team is compiling quantitative and qualitative social and environmental data at U.S. county and census tract geographies to inform decarbonization studies. The goal is for manufacturers to operate below the “Environmental Ceiling” and above the “Social Foundation” (see figure below). This includes:
Energy: equitable access, reliability, affordability
Water: equitable access, quality, affordability
Food: equitable access, quality, affordability
Health: equitable access, community health, pollution, affordability
Education: equitable access, affordability, employment readiness
Jobs: access to work, health & safety, living wage, freedom to organize
Gender equality: diversity and inclusion, pay equity
Social equity: energy, environmental, and climate justice
Resilience: poverty, housing (affordability, shelter adequacy) Other related ongoing analysis:
Examining economic, social, and environmental characteristics of cement plant locations to determine possible decarbonization effects & inform a just transition. (Other sectors will also be considered later)
Building on critical material analysis & data to include social justice & environmental implications for scale-up of U.S. critical material recycling.
Quantifying environmental justice implications from facilities that receive & treat manufacturing wastewater. Introspective Portfolio Assessment (IPA) frameworks are designed to help track technical progress and relate that progress to quantifiable impacts at project and portfolio levels. Portfolio-Level Analysis The StA team has previously conducted analysis related to technology adoption & savings (see below) and is considering future portfolio-level analysis on technology investment portfolio strategies in alignment with other offices/programs (summarized in 2020 report on Methods for R&D Portfolio Analysis and Evaluation (https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy20osti/75314.pdf)
This analysis aims to answer questions like:
Where should the next dollar of R&D be invested to increase returns at the project and portfolio levels?
How should the portfolio be balanced over risk, return, time, technologies, and markets? How does the analysis consider deep Uncertainties exist when evaluating R&D investment (budgets, technologies, markets, competition, policies, etc.)? Figure source https://doughnuteconomics.org/about-doughnut-economics Energy equity & environmental justice (EEEJ) is a key prioritization for EERE & its offices. EERE is broadening engagement, collecting more data, expanding funding opportunities, & developing equity-focused research areas.

Repository of resources (short training videos, tools, and examples) for assessing emerging technologies based on their potential cost and environmental impact in the commercial marketplace Designed to aid users in collecting key project data and estimating potential energy, carbon, and cost impacts for a new technology
Pilot-tested on a multiple R&D projects & technologies Quantifying Technology Adoption & Savings The StA team developed a method for estimating manufacturing technology adoption rates using quantitative technology characteristics including energetic, economic, and technical criteria that capture both incentives (such as energy and cost savings) and disincentives (such as increased process complexity) for technology adoption. This helps to realistically estimate the impacts of specific technologies.
Future analysis work will take this framework and focus further on industrial decarbonization, to determine both energy/emissions impacts and adoption barriers (including those related to costs) to decarbonization-focused technologies.
