Validated industrial data for every climate vertical.

We're building the industrial data repository for entrepreneurial climate scientists evaluating commercial viability — expert-validated economic and process data, covering every climate vertical, organized around how TEAs are actually built. Free and open as a public good.

~500 reference classes · ~25 industry verticals

The economic anatomy of an industrial process.

The repository is organized by reference class — the established and emerging industrial processes that breakthrough technologies slot into, displace, or recombine. Every reference class includes raw material costs, capex benchmarks, performance ranges, and carbon intensity data — anchored to a validated process flow diagram.

The data repository is the foundation for the AI-enabled TEA tooling. → Learn about the tooling

Process flow diagram

Drag nodes, pan, and zoom to explore.

Example reference class: a bioethanol-from-cellulose process, with feedstocks, unit operations, product streams, and energy flows.

Computing layout…

Data collected per reference class

System Definition

Process flow diagram, functional unit & system boundary, mass & energy balances

Process & Performance

Efficiency & yield, operating conditions, capacity factor, equipment lifetime

Capital Costs

System installed cost (CAPEX), equipment costs (uninstalled), scaling exponents

Operating Costs

Feedstock & raw materials, utilities, labor & overhead, maintenance rates

Market & Product

Product specifications & purity, price benchmarks

Derived Economics

LCOE / LCOH / LCOX benchmarks, sensitivity & cost drivers

Metadata

TRL classification, source citations with confidence ratings, validation status

A hybrid AI and expert validation pipeline.

Each reference class is built and validated through a four-stage process combining AI-assisted data collection with domain expert review.

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Generation

Orchestration of tailor-built agents for baseline flow

Automated iteration to mimic expert-level judgement

"Best AI can do" evaluation & iteration

Reference class complete

Continuous integration of expert feedback

Validation

Comparison against known examples and curated data

Panel of agents using expert-defined sector heuristics

Each review refines heuristics to improve the automated pipeline

Manual expert validation (5–20 experts per class)

Each expert review refines the heuristics that improve the automated pipeline — so the system gets better with every class we build.
