As these technologies mature, they must demonstrate not only their environmental benefits but also their economic competitiveness. The relative costs and benefits of each potential project, whether large or small, must be systematically modelled and assessed before they can be financed and implemented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRenewable Energy and Energy Efficiency: Assessment of Projects and Policies\u003c\/i\u003e deals with the appraisal of such projects against financial and non-financial criteria, illustrating the assessment tools necessary to make appropriate, evidence-based decisions as efficiently as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important technologies are first described, stressing their economic and performance characteristics.

Evaluation criteria usually include the economic, environmental, and social contexts of a project, as well as the engineering challenges, so engineers must be familiar with the processes and tools used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second edition of \u003ci\u003eEngineering Project Appraisal\u003c\/i\u003e equips students with the understanding and analytical tools to carry out effective appraisals of alternative development schemes, using both economic and non-economic criteria. The building blocks of economic appraisal are covered early, leading to techniques such as net present worth, internal rate of return, and annual worth.
