With carbon capture becoming more prevalent in today’s world, CO2 conversion is becoming one of the popular utilization methods for the captured emissions.

Given the IMO’s ambitious goals to halve the shipping industry’s 2050 GHG emissions from 2008 GHG emission levels, shipowners and ship engine manufacturers must carefully consider a broader range of marine fuels for the world’s future fleet, such as ammonia and methanol.

Companies are buying carbon offsets to become “net-zero.” What are the risks and challenges with carbon offsets and do they mitigate climate change?

At the 2022 ADI Forum, David Hatrick, VP of Innovation at Huntsman, and Trevor Best, CEO of Syzygy Plasmonics, Inc., discussed the power of partnerships in advancing the hydrogen industry. They highlighted how collaboration had driven innovations in reactor technology and carbon capture, emphasizing Huntsman’s efforts to refine reactor designs, select optimal locations, and maximize […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Leslie Beyer, CEO, Energy Workforce & Technology Council and industry leaders discussed carbon capture challenges, emphasizing lengthy permitting delays, which had stalled private investment. Companies noted that international markets had faster deployment pathways, while U.S. regulatory hurdles had slowed progress. The discussion underscored the urgent need for infrastructure investment, particularly […]

At the 2022 FlexPO+ (now incorporated into the ADI Forum), Richard Thomas, Sr. Manager, Strategy and Business Development, TotalEnergies US, joined moderator Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics, for the PE and PP markets panel. Key topics included various industrial decarbonization strategies. These involved the exploration of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to reduce […]

Energy is evolving daily. From commercial construction to infrastructure and industrial applications, every sector is putting in place Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria and working toward Net-Zero carbon emissions goals. In this first episode of the Energy Evolution Miniseries, Victaulic’s Elliott Smith sits down with Uday Turaga of ADI Analytics to discuss the energy […]

Energy transition advanced rapidly through the collective public consciousness in the past two years although starting this past summer, it has run into significant challenges.  To a large extent though, both energy transition’s progress in 2020 and the challenges of 2021 were more conceptual than rooted in concrete form.  Investor-led demand for a greater focus […]

While 2020 presented unprecedented challenges for global petroleum refiners due to pandemic-induced demand destruction, 2021 proved unexpectedly frustrating. Despite progress towards normalcy, persistent COVID-19 variants hindered the anticipated full recovery of oil and gas markets.

Despite anticipated slower growth and reduced capital spending in the U.S. midstream sector in 2022, driven by factors including policy changes and shifting capacity needs, international markets and energy transition initiatives like carbon capture and hydrogen offer growth opportunities, while Europe’s gas shortage may spur storage capacity increases.

We wrote in an earlier blog that the Paris Agreement’s goal to limit global warming to well below 2 °C compared to pre-industrial levels will be challenged by decarbonization of several hard-to-abate sectors. The chemical industry is both one of the largest consumers of energy globally and a hard-to-abate sector. A large portion of carbon […]

Identifying and evaluating new initiatives for energy transition is challenging, and an idea of “green premiums” can help better understand the costs associated with moving towards zero-carbon technologies.
