Energy transition strategy for offshore services

ADI screened over 20 energy transition opportunities to identify growth areas that leverage the client’s existing subsea engineering and offshore logistics capabilities. Opportunity profiling included a deep dive into the fixed and floating offshore wind segments, specifically targeting substructures and dynamic cable systems.

Offshore engineering provider

Client needed to diversify into renewable energy markets while leveraging legacy oil and gas subsea expertise.

Contribution icon 1

Ranked 20+ opportunities using a structured model based on capability fit, IP potential, and aftermarket value.

Contribution icon 2

Estimated addressable market sizes and CAGRs for offshore wind substructures and subsea cabling over a 10-year period.

Contribution icon 3

Matched legacy subsea umbilical and fabrication know-how to requirements for all-electric production systems.

Contribution icon 4

Developed recommendations focused on European near-term growth and long-term expansion in North America and Asia.

  • Prioritized nine segments and four wind-specific opportunities for near-term entry and long-term capital allocation.
Client Results
ADI helped us quantify our target market size in a very methodical manner. They got up to speed very quickly on what we do, spending time with our team, technology, and markets to perform a thorough evaluation themselves.

Industry experience

Global energy transition digital spend outlook

ADI assessed a global energy transition capital spend and outlook through 2050, identifying the addressable market for digital technologies. The study analyzed how the shift toward fragmented, low-carbon infrastructure will impact the need for digital integration across intermittent renewables and energy storage systems. Modeling surfaced critical factors that will dictate the pace of digital adoption. […]

Environmental performance of green building systems

ADI conducted parameterized life‑cycle assessments of major green building assessment systems using hybrid life‑cycle inventory methods and EPA TRACI impact categories. The analysis explicitly modeled construction materials, energy use, and system boundaries to compare LEED, ASHRAE, and IgCC pathways against a baseline commercial building. Sensitivity and uncertainty analyses were used to isolate which building features […]

Building efficiency assessment methodology

ADI developed a vendor‑independent Building Efficiency Assessment Methodology (BEAM) to quantify energy savings, emissions reductions, and retrofit economics across existing building portfolios. The work combined inductive benchmarking from comparable buildings, scenario‑based modeling, and conversion‑rate analysis to move retrofit decisions upstream without costly on‑site audits. Emphasis was placed on translating engineering outputs into CFO‑relevant metrics such […]

Lifecycle economics of engineered geothermal systems

ADI independently assessed engineered geothermal system economics using expert elicitation and lifecycle cost modeling. Drilling depth, well productivity, stimulation costs, and surface plant design were treated explicitly to capture uncertainty ranges in LCOE outcomes. Results highlighted where cost reduction efforts would have the greatest impact on commercial viability. The client U.S. Department of Energy The […]

Sustainability assessment for electric utilities

ADI assessed how sustainability priorities are influencing actual capital allocation across electric utilities, with a focus on transmission, distribution, and grid digitalization. The work drew on utility‑level benchmarks covering decarbonization targets, resilience investments, and governance structures, supplemented by interviews with sustainability and planning leaders. Emphasis was placed on distinguishing aspirational ESG commitments from areas driving […]

What will it take to scale geothermal?

Geothermal is attracting more attention than at any point in recent decades. Fervo’s IPO brought public-market attention to enhanced geothermal systems, and Quaise’s recent $134 million Series B first close showed continued investor appetite for superhot geothermal and millimeter-wave drilling. Developers are improving drilling performance, stimulation design, reservoir modeling, subsurface monitoring, and project execution. Oil […]

Grid realities: Power emissions are up

U.S. power sector CO₂ emissions rose 4% in 2025 based on the latest findings from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). This increase was driven by a 3% increase in net electric power generation, including a substantial 13% increase in coal-fired generation. More importantly, this increase points to a growing challenge facing the U.S. power […]
