Harness the power of an accessible, purpose-built techno-economic analysis.
Techno-economic analyses (TEAs) provide a systematic and rigorous evaluation of the economic viability of a technology. TEAs are key resources that help businesses inform decision making to maximize upside and minimize potential costs and risks. Despite their importance, robust TEAs remain out of reach for many companies because they require specialized expertise and are costly to build.
Scaler™ by Synonym is a free, next-gen techno-economic modeling tool designed specifically for the bioeconomy. It can simulate the economic performance of many fermentation processes in industrial scale settings and help you build a realistic commercialization roadmap.
