Technoeconomic analysis (TEA) is an approach for conducting process design and simulation, informed by empirical data, to estimate capital costs, operating costs, mass balances, and energy balances for a commercial scale biorefinery. TEA serves as a useful method to screen potential research priorities, identify cost bottlenecks at the earliest stages of research, and provide the mass and energy data needed to conduct life-cycle environmental assessments. Recent studies have produced new tools and methods to enable faster iteration on potential designs, more robust uncertainty analysis, and greater accessibility through the use of open-source platforms. There is also a trend toward more expansive system boundaries to incorporate the impact of policy incentives, use-phase performance differences, and potential impacts on global market supply.
技术经济分析（TEA）是一种通过经验数据进行工艺设计和模拟的方法，用于估算商业规模生物炼制厂的资本成本、运营成本、质量平衡和能量平衡。TEA 是一种有用的方法，可以筛选潜在的研究重点，在研究的早期阶段识别成本瓶颈，并提供进行生命周期环境评估所需的质量和能量数据。最近的研究提出了新的工具和方法，以实现潜在设计的更快迭代、更强大的不确定性分析以及通过使用开源平台提高可访问性。也有一种趋势是扩大系统边界，以纳入政策激励、使用阶段性能差异以及对全球市场供应的潜在影响。
