Pre-feasibility Stage

You can complete a pre-feasibility study by using the Encofor Decision Support System (Encofor Design DSS and Encofor Financial DSS). Set the Encofor Design DSS to ‘pre-feasibility mode’ and only a sub-set of issues will be dealt with. Use the Encofor Financial DSS by using lump sum data or less accurate information.

The procedure is supported by the following modules:

These modules include tools and manuals. The Economic, Environmental, Social and Institutional tools can be set to ‘pre-feasibility mode’. Use these modules together with Encofor Design DSS and Encofor Financial DSS. The assessments provided in the modules listed here will combine to produce the pre-feasibility study.

For an introduction on baseline and with-project scenarios we refer to www.cdmguide.org, Module 14.

In addition, a Project Idea Module and a Project Size Optimisation Module are provided to assist with project idea development and site pre-selection, if needed. The Project Idea Module provides guidance on an assessment of the state-of-the-art, project idea development (what?), project site pre-selection (where?), and project idea evaluation.
