Woody Biomass Companion Markets Model (WOODCOM)

The objective of this work is to analyze the dynamics of biomass resource distribution across multiple industries under different conditions. To this end, we developed a simulation model that projects the volume and price dynamics between the biomass resource base (supply) and different demand industries including intermediate processing (i.e., mobilization) and end-use markets (traditional, companion, and biofuels).

Cobalt Copper Nickel Supply Chains Model (CoCuNi)

The CoCuNi (pronounced kokanee) model links global demand and supply of three intertwined materials: cobalt (Co), copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni), in a simulation market model with explicit consideration of electric vehicle (EV) and battery scenarios. By incorporating feedback between supply, demand, prices and capacity expansion, we quantify realistic production scenarios for both primary (mining) and secondary (recycling)​ sources.

Lithium Supply Analysis Model (LISA)

This model was developed to assess the viability of U.S. lithium supply from geothermal brine and the potential supply chain impact of extracting lithium from this source. This model links global lithium demand and supply considering different electric vehicle (EV) demand scenarios.

Commercial Routing Assistance (CRA)

The Commercial Routing Assistance (CRA) tool merges coordinated and vetted data streams, plots multiple automated or custom routing options, and visualizes the wide variety of state regulations and actions that a driver would encounter along a route. With the CRA, commercial operators can plan vehicle movements across multiple states quickly, particularly during emergencies.
