What we do
The core approach of STEER is to connect technology supply chains all the way to technology adoption. Leveraging this technology-centric focus and our understanding of development and deployment roadmaps, we forecast future economic competitiveness of various technology offerings based upon upstream inputs and downstream impacts. This enables quantitative comparisons of technologies against one another to inform what to build, where to innovate, and how to invest.
The five key analytical horizontals (domains of expertise) of STEER are:
- Supply Chain — costs, flows, and innovations in materials mining, refining, to recycling
- Technology — design, manufacture, and development roadmaps of devices, reactors, & systems
- Deployment — engineering, procurement, and construction for micro- to mega- projects
- Economic Feasibility — costs and revenues informing commercial viability
Energy Systems — cross-technology systems analysis to inform deployment decisions
STEER's analytical horizontals cut across various technology verticals. Learn more about the verticals below.
Batteries
From electric mobility to stationary storage, batteries are at the heart of any future electricity system
Nuclear
A promise of clean firm power but with decades of poor economics—what can we do differently this time?
