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.

Ambiguity in sizing the digital transformation opportunity across multiple energy transition futures and emerging technology segments.

Contribution icon 1

ADI modeled three distinct energy futures—BAU, Rapid, and Net-Zero—to project capital shifts from fossil fuels to electrification.

Contribution icon 2

Digital spend was forecast across 15 energy segments, identifying power and utilities as the primary growth engine through 2050.

Contribution icon 3

The research quantified the cost parity challenges for CCUS and hydrogen, correlating these to the required digital optimization spend.

Contribution icon 4

ADI ranked the infrastructure limitations of EVs, DAC, and grid resilience to identify where digital twins offer the highest value.

  • Quantified digital spend forecasts by sector, enabling the client to prioritize cloud service investments in high-growth ET segments.
Client Results
ADI brings a senior level of technical expertise and deep industry contacts. They performed a technical feasibility study for our gas-to-liquids project that added actual value and helped us move toward commercialization faster than we could have on our own.

Industry experience

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. The client Offshore engineering provider The situation Client needed to diversify into […]

The growing challenge of industrial R&D

For much of the 20th century, R&D was viewed as a long-term investment in scientific discovery, often insulated from day-to-day operational pressures. Success was measured in patents, breakthrough technologies, and the promise of future growth. Today, that view no longer holds. Across energy, chemicals, and broader industrial sectors, R&D has been reshaped by a combination […]

IMO’s safety guidelines pave the way for ammonia-fueled ships

Ammonia has increasingly emerged as a potential low-carbon marine fuel to support decarbonization in the maritime sector due to its carbon-free combustion profile. However, compared to methanol, ammonia has lagged behind in commercial adoption as a low-carbon marine fuel. This is primarily due to its toxicity, which requires more complex storage and handling systems, as […]
