Even with the conservative approach followed in the impact assessment, the firm SGA concludes that RETScreen has had a significant impact on all indicators in the short time that the software and related tools have been available, including:
- Saving stakeholders an estimated $240 million in Canada and $600 million worldwide through the use of the RETScreen software and related tools;
- Facilitating the implementation of roughly 320 megawatts (MW) of projects in Canada worth $750 million and 1,000 MW of projects worldwide worth approximately $1.8 billion; and
- Helping Canadian and international stakeholders take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the order of 630 kilotonnes (kt) of CO2 per year to date and a projected 20 megatonnes (Mt) of CO2 per year by 2012.
SGA goes on to conclude that the RETScreen Software will have a substantial influence on the global clean energy industry in the years to come and an exponential rise in the impacts of RETScreen International can be expected.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
