Project Risk Ratings

Project Risk Ratings are a standards-based-assessment of industrial projects. These ratings are based on independently-sourced, verified data — seventeen years of historical project data relating to financial, technical and carbon performance, industry studies collected by The Digest, proprietary surveys of Digest readers to determine how markets weigh risk factors, and data developed by Digest partners Boundless Impact (TEA, LCA) and Ecostrat (Feedstock Risk Ratings).

Project Risk Ratings offers a simple way to assess the initial risk of announced projects with a straight forward score of 0-100, using four weighted elemental factors: Feedstock Reliability, Carbon Incentive Security, Market Forces Adaptability and Economic Resilience.

Project Risk Ratings provide investors, policymakers, regulators, R&D professionals, analysts, traders, economic development officers, growers, off-takers, and process developers with a means to prioritize and focus their own due diligence and development efforts.

Project Risk Ratings are available to subscribers for $1,895 per year for up to 300 projects, all updates on existing ratings, and new rating issuances that occur in the subscription year.
