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.

How will the 2026 mid-term elections impact energy markets?
Democrats won control of the House and the Senate on November 3 and flipped the governorships of Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Nevada, and Iowa. Energy was a central issue in many of these races, particularly the cost of electricity and the growth of data centers. Power prices have risen in many states in recent years. Data […]

Permian’s next bottleneck is basin connectivity
As ADI discussed recently in Trends shaping the U.S. midstream outlook, rising LNG exports, growing power demand from AI data centers, and continued oil and gas production growth are driving a new wave of midstream investment. Much of the industry’s recent focus has been on relieving Permian gas takeaway constraints through projects such as Kinder Morgan’s […]
