ADI developed a market assessment and forecast for biofuel production and trade in North America for a global commodities trader. Key deliverables included:
- Supply and demand balances: Developed historical and projected supply/demand balances for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and ethanol in Canada and the US (2015-2040), analyzing trade flows between the countries and imports/exports into North America.
- Renewable fuel production facilities: Provided an overview of RD, BD, SAF, and ethanol plants across North America, including details like capacity, location, configuration, operational status, major feedstocks used, average carbon intensity (CI) of plants and products, and major investment projects.
- Policy and demand drivers: Analyzed policy-driven renewable fuel blend rates and demand drivers for non-mandated biofuels like SAF (e.g., airline sustainability goals).
- Regional outlooks: Presented separate outlooks for Canadian and US renewable fuel markets, including supply, demand, and trade projections, as well as potential logistics constraints.
