SCR catalyst technology and competitive landscape

ADI assessed SCR catalyst technologies by comparing plate, honeycomb, and other designs across power and industrial applications. The work combined proprietary datasets with interviews spanning utilities, OEMs, and catalyst suppliers to evaluate performance trade‑offs and competitive positioning. Emphasis was placed on lifecycle cost, replacement cycles, and application‑specific constraints rather than headline capacity alone.

Industry experience

Distributed power and storage strategy assessment

ADI evaluated distributed power and grid‑edge storage opportunities by linking customer economics, reliability requirements, and technology performance across industrial and field‑based applications. The assessment combined voice‑of‑customer interviews with internal market sizing models to test where storage, power quality, or hybrid solutions materially improve outcomes. Findings differentiated scalable use cases from niche deployments where adoption is […]

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, […]
