The decarbonisation of the energy sector can be a key contributor in the transition to a low-carbon economy. New low-CO₂ energy production technologies are becoming available in the international market, contributing to building diversified portfolios of projects with very different features. Apart from technology-related features, the deployment of an energy production plant also depends on the availability of resources of the country/installation site, socio-economic implications, environmental impact and integration with the existing power grid. Decision makers should take all these factors into consideration when determining which project is more likely to move forward. Several studies have proposed the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to facilitate the decision-making process when selecting viable and sustainable energy projects. However, fewer studies exist that provide a detailed assessment of these KPIs. The scope of this paper is to critically review and investigate a set of multi-disciplinary KPIs, allowing a holistic comparison across different types of energy projects. The identified KPIs were classified as physical, economic, environmental and social. They were subsequently analysed to assess their limitations, determine inter-connections and identify the need for additional indicators to capture risks and opportunities within a mixed energy market. This paper can be the basis for the development of an integrated framework, allowing a fairer assessment of competing energy projects by relevant stakeholders.

能源行业的脱碳可能是向低碳经济过渡的关键因素。新低CO ₂能源生产技术正在国际市场上获得使用，从而为建设功能迥异的项目组合做出了贡献。除了与技术相关的功能外，能源生产工厂的部署还取决于国家/安装地点的资源可用性，社会经济影响，环境影响以及与现有电网的集成。在确定哪个项目更可能向前发展时，决策者应考虑所有这些因素。几项研究提出了在选择可行和可持续的能源项目时使用关键绩效指标（KPI）来促进决策过程。但是，很少有研究提供对这些KPI的详细评估。本文的范围是批判性地审查和研究一组多学科的KPI，以便对不同类型的能源项目进行整体比较。确定的KPI分为物理，经济，环境和社会。随后对其进行了分析，以评估其局限性，确定相互联系并确定需要其他指标来捕捉混合能源市场中的风险和机遇。本文可以作为制定综合框架的基础，从而使相关利益相关者可以更公平地评估竞争的能源项目。随后对其进行了分析，以评估其局限性，确定相互联系并确定需要其他指标来捕捉混合能源市场中的风险和机遇。本文可以作为制定综合框架的基础，从而使相关利益相关者可以更公平地评估竞争的能源项目。随后对其进行了分析，以评估其局限性，确定相互联系并确定需要其他指标来捕捉混合能源市场中的风险和机遇。本文可以作为制定综合框架的基础，从而使相关利益相关者可以更公平地评估竞争的能源项目。
