Solution A
Advanced Energy and Resource Assessment
Make the decision before making the investment.
The Advanced Energy and Resource Assessment provides a structured review of an industrial energy or resource challenge. It establishes the operating baseline, examines available resources and technologies, tests preliminary economics, identifies material risks and recommends a documented next-step decision. It is a paid advisory engagement, not a guarantee of financing, project approval or performance.
Our primary paid engagement. Pricing is proposal-based, after scoping.
The problem
You need to know what is worth building before committing capital.
For industrial operators, resource owners, developers.
Potential benefit: A clear, evidence-based decision before capital is committed.
A potential benefit, not an achieved result. Results depend on site, resource and contract.
The proposed engagement
How we would work with you
Scoping call and written proposal
Site visit and data request
Analysis across the first four stages
Findings workshop and written recommendation
The assessment covers stages 1 to 4 (Problem, Resource, Architecture, Economics) and ends at the Economics gate with one of the five decisions.
What is delivered
Deliverables
An assessment may include:
- An operating and demand baseline
- A site and resource evidence review
- A technology-neutral options comparison
- Preliminary commercial sensitivities
- A regulatory and delivery risk summary
- A written decision recommendation with conditions and next steps
Final scope, fee and timetable are agreed before commencement.
The assessment in practice
Explore a worked infrastructure assessment
Explore a fictional industrial heat-recovery assessment showing how OceanBlocks frames an operating challenge, compares options and tests the assumptions behind an infrastructure decision. The sample includes an evidence register, transparent calculations, downside scenarios and conditions for advancing to feasibility. All site details and figures in this sample are invented for illustration. It does not describe a live OceanBlocks project, a client result or a promise of technical or commercial performance.

How the evidence is assessed
Describes how we work. No results are claimed.
When we take this on: We take on an assessment when there is a defined site or resource, a decision-maker, and access to the operating data needed.
An assessment supports a decision. It does not authorise construction, commit finance, establish bankability or validate a technology.
