Abstract

In this paper, we conceptualize an updatable, detailed, and holistic technology radar compatible with all stages of the energy value chain. We formulate six different criteria that encompass all significant aspects of evaluating important game-changing technologies. In addition, a new criterion - the surprise factor - is developed to balance the potentially biased perspectives of experts on technologies and trends. Additionally, a new concept, called sector impact analysis, is added to the in-depth stage of the energy value chain analysis to assess the influence of dynamic trends and technological inter-relatedness. The proposed tool, constructed from a combination of quantitative and qualitative assessments, can help decision-makers to dynamically assess upcoming game-changer technologies and trends in their business domains
