Industry: CCUS

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.

How are refiners addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) pressures from investors and stakeholders?

We continue our blog series on decarbonizing steel exploring new production pathways and the role of hydrogen.

ExxonMobil is proposing a massive carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) project on the Gulf Coast.

In the April 2021 edition of the ADI newsletter, we explored how ESG pressures are reshaping the refining sector, as companies respond to growing investor and stakeholder demands. We also examined the complex challenge of decarbonizing the chemical industry and highlighted emerging strategies. Our primer on CCUS reviewed ExxonMobil’s major Gulf Coast project proposal. Finally, […]

LNG exports have grown rapidly due to the surplus of cheap natural gas, coal-to-gas switching, and decarbonization incentives. While the potential of LNG is promising, its outlook is uncertain as its value proposition of low emissions is increasingly being challenged.
