ADI Analytics supported a scenario planning effort to help a client understand and prepare for evolving transportation energy trends and their long-term business implications.
The client
A leading chemical major serving the automotive and fuel markets and seeking to anticipate shifts in transportation energy.
The situation
The client wanted to explore how changes in transportation energy—driven by electrification, policy, and consumer behavior—might evolve over time and affect its core business units.
ADI’s contributions
Trend identification
Analyzed key transportation energy trends across the near-, mid-, and long-term horizon.
Scenario development
Built four plausible scenarios based on varying rates of adoption for major energy trends.
Impact quantification
Assessed potential impacts of each scenario across a range of business and market metrics.
Strategic implications
Identified implications across the client’s portfolio and formulated no-regret strategies for each scenario.

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 […]

Bulk liquid storage is shifting from capacity to capability
Liquid bulk storage operators are entering a more selective growth cycle. Demand remains resilient across fuels, chemicals, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas liquids (NGLs), biofuels, ammonia, and methanol. Increasingly, value is shifting toward terminals that can handle a broader range of products, connect to major trade routes, and generate higher returns from existing assets. […]

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 […]
