“…For more elaborate analyses, we apply two very (most) common dynamic capital budgeting methods for each focus project and calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) for each project respectively. Since the IRR method alone is not entirely [44] suited to always leading to sound investment decisions, the net present value method was primarily used to decide which project would be most profitable from an investor's perspective.…”

Economical Feasibility of Rare Earth Mining outside China

Although rare earth deposits are found on all continents, China produces more than 90% of all globally used rare earth metals. Besides its economic dominance, China has also gained a monopolistic know how position in Rare Earth Elements process technologies. Based on China’s dominant position in rare earth markets, other countries such as the USA, Australia, Europe and Japan are increasingly concerned about a stable rare earth supply and their increasing dependence on China. In 2019 the new trade conflict blazed up between China and the U.S., and the threat of China to decrease or even stop rare earth supply to the U.S. is a new chapter in the trade war which shows that new means of supply must be found. The main focus of this paper is to evaluate and compare advanced rare earth projects outside China with a new holistic and objective method to get a detailed picture of possible rare earth mining outside China. In addition to the exclusively economic investigation, specific countries’ risk und price development scenarios are considered. This leads to an objective picture of rare earth mining outside of China, which is needed as a basis for discussions of secure rare earth supply for the western world. Building on this objective economic analysis, we can also add new supply risk due to new political situations. To this end, data is compiled on 14 selected focus projects with regard to the required investments, operating costs, and the potential revenues for each case. These data are used to develop a discounted cash flow model (with analogous assumptions and methods) for each project. This model enables the achievable net present value (NPV), the internal interest rate, and the static amortization period for each project to be determined.

“…where, C 0 is the cash value, C t is the sum of payments, t is the current time, T is the viewing horizon, and i is the calculation interest rate. With regard to the calculation of the net present value, as presented in Equation 2, all deposits and withdrawals are considered as the present value at the time of the investment [49]. Therefore, the net present value is the basis for various applications in the real estate market.…”

This paper proposes an extended comparative evaluation model framework (ECEMF) that highlights two objectives: (1) a specific economic evaluation method for the cost-optimisation of prefabricated lightweight system envelopes to achieve a greater value of the building, and (2) a comparative evaluation model framework usable by different profiles of stakeholders, when adopting the decision on the most optimal envelope type in the early design phase. Based on the proposed framework, the analysis was conducted for the case study building representing a small single-family house located in Slovenia. The methodology applied is based on the life cycle cost (LCC) including construction, operation, maintenance, and refurbishment costs, but excluding dismantling, disposal, and reuse, for the period of 50 years’ lifetime of the building which combines the Building Information Modelling (BIM) with Value for Money (VfM) assessment. To exploit the automated evaluation process in the computing environment, several tools were used, including Archicad for BIM in combination with Legep software for LCC. On one hand, the model confirms the assumption that the optimal value parameters of a building do not only depend on the typical costs related to high-performance buildings. On the other hand, from the stakeholders’ view, the model enables the choice of the optimal solution regarding the envelope type to be made in the early design phase. In this view, the model could function as an important decision tool, with a direct economic impact on the value.

“…Additionally, it contains the methods to assess the cost advantages of integrating more sustainable alternatives into built property. 14 The LCC represents one of the modifications in project cost management in the evaluation of financial feasibility including the value of different technological systems. 15 In recent studies, there are efforts to include the energy costs in operational phase; however, they did not holistically combine the LCC evaluation when assessing alternative building systems.…”

U okviru održivog arhitektonskog projektiranja, problematika energetske učinkovitosti u središtu je interesa svih sudionika u procesu njihovog odlučivanja o optimalnom investiranju u građevinskom sektoru. Ovaj rad predstavlja rezultate studije o procjeni troškova životnog ciklusa [LCC assessment] na temelju informacijskog modeliranja građevine [BIM] koja je dokazala da je metoda primjenjiva u ranim fazama procesa projektiranja.
