This study analyzed the global demand for Claus, liquid redox, and scavenger units over a five-year period, driven by IMO 2020 marine fuel regulations and fuel demand growth. ADI segmented the global market by region and capacity. The work emphasized the factors that impact growth. The client Global refining technology provider The situation Uncertainty regarding […]

ADI evaluated global hydrogen demand across high-volume refining and ammonia sectors alongside emerging small-volume applications in semiconductors and glass. The study utilized technical benchmarks for SMR and electrolysis to identify segments where on-site reliability and high purity levels (99.9999%+) justify compact reactor adoption over traditional tube trailer delivery. The client Industrial technology provider The situation […]

ADI conducted a technical scan of non-hydroprocessing routes for upgrading biomass-derived pyrolysis oil, focusing on solvent extraction and membrane-based fractionation. The assessment identified high-value chemical pathways for light olefin streams, benchmarking potential products like acrylic acid and lube additives against minimum economic scale (MES) requirements. The client Biomass conversion technology developer The situation Uncertainty regarding […]

ADI benchmarked the sustainability disclosures of U.S. oil majors and independents to identify competitive gaps in ESG reporting maturity. The study evaluated dimensions such as greenhouse gas emissions, water management, and critical incident risk to determine how refiners are navigating the transition to net-zero. The analysis highlighted that pure-play refining independents often provide more granular […]

ADI analyzed the stackable tax credits provided by the Inflation Reduction Act to prioritize decarbonization projects at existing refining assets. The study mapped technical pathways for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), blue hydrogen, and carbon capture against regional infrastructure and environmental justice criteria. This effort identified how loan guarantees and transferability provisions can de-risk capital projects […]

ADI evaluated the global addressable market for an outsourced sulfur recovery business model, assuming complete operational responsibility for sulfur recovery units (SRUs) and downstream sulfur marketing. The work modeled adoption rates across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, specifically quantifying the recurring revenue potential of tapping high fertilizer demand. Analysis focused on the critical […]

ADI explored the recovery of global jet fuel demand post-COVID-19. The study analyzed seven ASTM-approved SAF pathways to identify the pathway that will dominate supply and/or offer the greatest decarbonization potential over the long term. Cost analysis was conducted to assess drivers of SAF costs compared to conventional jet fuel. The client Venture capital firm […]

ADI forecasted the growth of U.S. fuel exports to Latin America by analyzing regional macroeconomics, vehicle fleet dynamics, and biofuel blending mandates. The study identified structural supply gaps in Latin America and the analysis focused on evaluating the cost-competitiveness of U.S. refiners in meeting stringent new low-sulfur fuel regulations across the region. The client Multi-client […]

ADI performed technical and commercial due diligence for an integrated energy and chemicals park, evaluating asset configurations. The valuation involved rigorous DCF modeling of scenarios ranging from lube oil complex rejuvenation to asset shutdowns, factoring in terminal value sensitivities. The assessment specifically addressed market risks associated with Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) oversupply and regional demand recovery […]

ADI evaluated the water management value chain within U.S. refineries, focusing on sourcing constraints, pre-treatment needs, and wastewater reuse technologies. The assessment benchmarked the lifecycle costs of primary and secondary treatment while identifying technical barriers to advanced membrane and zero liquid discharge systems. The study highlighted the growing water stress in basins and the resulting […]
