47 BPEO assessment is a method used to identify the option that provides the ‘most environmental benefit’ or ‘least environmental damage’. It assesses the ‘performance’ of different options in a range of criteria such as environmental impact, safety risk, technical feasibility and cost. It uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative assessments of the performance in each criterion, and a weighing of the relative influence or importance of the criteria in order to derive an overall score or ranking of options.
