ADI leveraged proprietary demand models to project hydrogen consumption across heavy-duty trucking and bus segments in North America, East Asia, and Europe. The study evaluated pump-price parity across regions and the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on green hydrogen adoption over a 10-year period.
The client
Clean technology provider
The situation
Ambiguity regarding the growth trajectory and market value of hydrogen fuel for heavy-duty transportation across three regions.
ADI’s contributions
Regional demand modeling
ADI estimated hydrogen demand surges over a 10-year period, isolating heavy-duty trucking as the primary growth driver.
Hydrogen pricing analytics
Comparative analysis of regional hydrogen prices at the pump, benchmarking North America against East Asian markets.
Regulatory impact analysis
Evaluation of state-specific ZEV targets and federal tax credits, including IRA 45V impact on fuel cost competitiveness.
Sector-specific segmentation
Granular forecasting of vehicle fleet counts and refueling station requirements across trucks, buses, and garbage fleets.
Key outcomes
- Enabled strategic prioritization of regional markets based on total addressable volume and maturity of policy support.

Utility capital projects & 2026 energy trends
Utility capital projects are facing mounting delays and cost pressures in 2026, even as AI-driven demand fuels record capex. Meanwhile, the upstream oil and gas market is stabilizing around a normalizing shale cost curve, bulk liquid storage operators are shifting toward capability-driven growth, and the energy transition is exposing critical minerals bottlenecks that are pushing […]

U.S. refining capacity is gradually consolidating into larger, more complex facilities
U.S. refining capacity shows limited overall growth, but the structure of the system is shifting. Expansions at large, complex refineries are driving changes on the supply side, while smaller plants face cost and operational constraints that are forcing exits. This is steadily concentrating capacity in fewer, more sophisticated facilities. Key drivers capacity consolidation: Geographic concentration […]

Record utility spending meets project reality
U.S. utilities are entering the largest capital deployment cycle in their history, with total spending projected to reach roughly $1.4 trillion through 2030 and annual capex growing at double-digit rates. The single biggest driver behind this surge is the rapid growth in AI and data centers. Hyperscale facilities are significantly increasing load demand, often on […]
