Chemical process commercialization strategy

To aid in commercialization, ADI Analytics conducted a technology and strategy assessment for an early-stage chemical company’s proprietary process.

An early-stage chemical company with a proprietary production process seeking to validate its technology and develop a path to commercialization.

The client needed an independent evaluation of its novel chemical process, including cost benchmarking, technology validation, and guidance on commercialization strategy.

Contribution icon 1

Assessed the client’s proprietary chemical process, leveraging ADI’s chemical engineering expertise to highlight key strengths and weaknesses.

Contribution icon 2

Modeled the costs and economics of the client’s proposed process against comparable existing technologies.

Contribution icon 3

Identified potential partners for technology development, commercialization, product offtake, and marketing.

Contribution icon 4

Developed a process commercialization strategy and roadmap, including identification of key stakeholders and vendors.

  • ADI’s analysis provided the client with a clear understanding of its process competitiveness and a strategic roadmap for commercialization.
Client Results
ADI is very effective in doing the market assessment for a new technology. With deep knowledge of the market and existing technologies, they helped us identify the value our new technology was going to bring.

Ammonia and CCUS technology market assessment

This study examined the global ammonia (NH3) value chain and CO2​ conversion landscape, evaluating the technical maturity of steam methane reforming (SMR), autothermal reforming (ATR), and electrolysis-based production. ADI analyzed the economics of NH3​ as a hydrogen carrier versus liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), including the energy-intensive decomposition steps required for re-conversion. The work profiled […]

Catalysts and process technology intelligence

ADI provided ongoing market intelligence on catalyst innovations and licensing trends across the petrochemical value chain. The analysis focused on technology scale-up for sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), renewable diesel, and advanced plastics recycling. Strategic risks, including the impact of IMO 2020 on refinery configurations and the growth of crude-to-chemicals (COTC) projects, were evaluated. The client […]

CO2 conversion pathways techno-economic assessment

ADI prioritized nine CO2​-to-value pathways, ranging from carbon mineralization for cement to electrochemical routes for circular fuels. The work assessed the energy intensity and technology readiness of photocatalysis and chemo-enzymatic conversion. Analytical modeling of breakeven costs was conducted to identify the most commercially attractive products in the near-term. The client Global investment firm The situation […]

CBAM puts a new price tag on emissions

On April 7, 2026, the European Commission announced the first official Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) certificate price for Q1 2026 at €75.36 per tonne of CO2 equivalent (~$88/t CO2e), marking the EU’s first explicit carbon price applied to imported goods. This rate will be applied to the embedded emissions in CBAM-covered imports and is […]

Cooling fluids are becoming a constraint in AI data centers

Immersion cooling fluids are taking on more importance as data‑center operators deploy higher‑power artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Rack densities are increasing faster than traditional air systems can accommodate, and liquid cooling is now part of the design discussion for many new builds and retrofits. In that context, fluid properties affect reliability, […]

Implications of UAE’s exit from OPEC

Part of ADI Analytics’ ongoing coverage of the implications of the Iran conflict across oil & gas, LNG, refined products, and chemicals. The UAE’s exit from OPEC (see our prior blog) in late April 2026 reflects a decisive shift toward a volume‑driven strategy focused on monetizing its hydrocarbon resource base ahead of the global energy […]
