Discounted Cash Flow - isn’t that something for the finance team? Or the investors?

The webinar shows that Discounted Cash Flow analysis is a powerful technique to maximize project success from a financial perspective and hence should be understood by all project professionals.

The technique is not new as it was applied in the Coal industry dating back to the 1700’s.

Thus, it’s very appropriate that when we apply the same principles to consider CO2 emissions (under the name of “Discounted Carbon Flow”) we get a powerful tool that helps project professionals to deliver the targets of the Paris Agreement (absolute maximum 2 degree Celsius temperature rise this century and preferably limited to 1.5 degree Celsius).

The author has published a series of 6 articles via the PMI Standards+ platform on Discounted Cash / Carbon flow.

This webinar aims to bring these articles to life for the audience so that they understand the power of Discounted Carbon Flow and how to apply it to maximize project success in support of tackling the Climate Crisis.

Discounted Cash Flow analysis is a great tool to quantify the value of financial benefits delivered by a project and the rate at which that benefit is delivered. Discounted Carbon Flow analysis follows an identical set of principles and calculations but applies these to the carbon emission cost of executing a project and the carbon emission (reduction) benefit of the project outcome. To deliver the Paris Agreement targets we need to urgently and massively reduce global CO2 emissions, and Discounted Carbon Flow is a great tool to support this as the principles are already understood from the equivalent financial analysis.
