FinancialROIisoneofseveralkeyfactorsinprioritizingprojectsanddeterminingthe abilitytoimplementtheseprojects(especiallyfordirectappropriationproposals).In additiontothecomponentsofROI,DOEmayconsider(althoughisnotlimitedto)the followingcriteriawhenassessingprojects: CostperunitcontributiontotheSSPPenergyandenvironmentalgoals Program/siteprioritiesandfutureplansinsupportofitsmissions Localandregionalplanningfactors Currentsiteinfrastructureandplannednewconstruction Siteenergyorwaterconsumptionandcosttrends Publicvisibility(DOEplacesvalueonshowcasingtechnologiesdeveloped throughitsresearchefforts) Riskmanagementconsideration(e.g.,environmentalremediationfrom unplannedspillsandreleases) Safetyandhealth Continuityofoperations Socialcostofcarbon(SCC) a.EconomicLifecycleCost/ReturnonInvestment Whenevaluatingproposedprojects,DOEwillusearigorouscostbenefitanalysisfor selectingprojectsandinitiatives.ReturnonInvestmentandNetPresentValue (NPV)willbecalculatedperOMBCircularA94GuidelinesandDiscountRatesfor BenefitsCostAnalysisofFederalPrograms.Otherfinancialcalculationsmaybe performedtodeterminepaybackperiod,internalrateofreturn(IRR),andproject costeffectivenesswithregardtoGHG,energyandwatersavingsovertime. b.SocialCosts&Benefits BeyondafinancialROI,theDepartmentwillconsiderthesocialcostsofGHG emissionsandthebenefitsofabatement.ThesesocialcostswillfactorintotheROI analysisthroughtheuseofanominalSCCasprovidedinSocialCostofCarbonfor
