Energy transition: 2026 mid-year trends and supply chain impacts
The energy transition in 1H 2026 has advanced from a sustainability-driven narrative to one centered on energy security, reliability, and grid resilience driven by geopolitical disruptions (e.g., Strait of Hormuz tensions) and surging AI-driven electricity demand. While early-stage climate tech is facing a funding pullback, large-scale, asset-backed infrastructure is entering a deployment upcycle across power, fuels, and industrial decarbonization. ADI reviewed first-half 2026 […]

Record RFS mandates strain biofuel supplies
The EPA’s recently finalized Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) for 2026–2027 raise Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates to record levels, marking a step-change in required blending volumes. This shift increases demand across the system and leaves less buffer between required volumes and available supply, tightening overall market conditions. Key dynamics shaping supply requirements: These dynamics suggest […]
