To assess market entry potential for modular energy systems, ADI evaluated the deployment of small-scale LNG (ssLNG) for industrial and transportation applications. The research addressed infrastructure constraints in off-grid regions and evaluated the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of modular gas systems against traditional diesel power. Competitive analysis included a review of modular technology providers and the impact of carbon intensity regulations on gas-to-power economics.

EU methane rule delay: A tactical retreat or climate setback?
The European Union (EU) Methane Regulation is known for its strict methane emissions transparency requirements for foreign oil and gas imports, and has driven methane emissions monitoring and reporting efforts, especially among oil and gas players serving the EU market. Under Article 28 of the EU Methane Regulation, importers are required to demonstrate that fossil […]

Notes from the Gas to Grid Summit
Gas-to-grid infrastructure has received limited attention amid rapid growth in data-center power demand. Pipelines, storage, fuel delivery, generation, and grid connections determine when new load can receive reliable power. ADI Analytics and Energy Conference Network launched the inaugural Gas to Grid Summit to examine this part of the value chain. Participants included midstream operators Williams […]

Post-auto growth in lubricants
HF Sinclair plans to separate its Lubricants & Specialties business, retire its 15,600-barrel-per-day Ontario base oil refinery, and replace internal production with long-term supply agreements. Similar portfolio activity is visible across the industry: BP sold a controlling interest in Castrol, Saudi Aramco acquired Valvoline’s global products business, and private-equity-backed distributors continue to add local businesses.
