Risk Assessment Services
Risk Quantification
Black & Veatch works with clients to assess potential cost impacts and uncertainty
of current and future levels of CO2 production assuming various mandatory GHG reduction
requirements/regime. This critical information can be used in:
- shareholder reports;
- integrated resource plans;
- acquisition due diligence/asset valuations; and
- strategic planning for future risk management and business opportunities.
Diversification Analysis
Black & Veatch’s diversification analysis covers a thorough review of
a client’s current portfolio and/or planned acquired assets. In performing
the detailed analysis, considerations include:
- physical locations and dependency on water and fuel supplies;
- produced carbon from the portfolio;
- competitor comparisons; and/or
- currently available and emerging technologies used in the same industry sector.
Regulatory Market Assessments
Black & Veatch relies on its experience and analysis to identify the potential
effects of various regulatory cap-and-trade or carbon tax scenarios on the current
and future compliance costs on a company’s short- and long-term business plans.
These assessments factor the:
- direct (tax or cap-and-trade) and indirect (fuel price adjustment due to different
dispatch or load profile);
- loss of load from conversion; and
- industry moving to more economically favorable CO2 environments.
