Description
The project will require that the Proponent develop a model to forecast the Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credit price through to 2030 and beyond (to at least 2040). The model will employ an advanced statistical forecasting methodology such as regression analysis or machine learning, and have the ability to conduct scenario analysis so that key assumptions can be varied, tested, and compared. The model will be able to identify the key factors that most significantly affect the credit price.
The successful Proponent will work with Low Carbon Fuels Branch (LCFB) staff to develop the model and provide oversight on key assumptions in the model design.
Key evaluation metrics for the project include:
The model should be designed to be responsive to changes in underlying data to ensure that results are updated when independent variables are changed. Results should be presented using one or more formats: excel, online model, R script, PPT and/or others.
Further details as to the scope of this opportunity and the requirements can be found within this RFP.
