Industry: Energy Transition

I recently spoke at the Adhesive and Sealant Council’s 2024 Annual Convention and EXPO in Louisville, Kentucky, where much attention was placed on the value proposition of adhesives and sealants in the realm of energy transition. Discussions revolved around bio-based and low-carbon products, as well as the applications of adhesives and sealants in emerging sectors […]

Although electric vehicle (EV) sales are slowing, they have surpassed expectations in the past few years. While an average EV still remains more expensive than an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle today, prices have fallen significantly in recent years. As shown in exhibit 1, the decline in lithium-ion battery pack prices since 2015 is particularly […]

Electricity demand is rapidly growing across the globe. We see that global investment in electric utilities is increasing with almost 7% annual growth to ~$1,500 billion in 2030. These investments in electricity sector worldwide, particularly the push for greener energy, stands out as a crucial driver behind the demand for smart grid infrastructure. Green power […]

Global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) developments in April 2024 were marked by increased airline adoption, new technology collaborations, and government policy support. Boeing and Croatia Airlines advanced SAF use through large-scale purchases and inaugural flights, while Japan Airlines launched a pilot program to convert used cooking oil into SAF. Refinery development and policy support expanded […]

Watch the highlights from 2024 ADI Forum, ADI Analytics’ annual oil & gas, energy transition, and chemicals conference. We had 45+ speakers and panelists participate in a conversation on strategic issues across the entire oil & gas, energy transition, and chemicals value chain.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) initiatives in April 2024 gained traction through new airline agreements, refinery expansions, and public–private partnerships. Air New Zealand, Modetour, and Desert Jet broadened SAF adoption across aviation operations, while the U.K. Ministry of Defense expanded procurement to support low-emission flight programs. Production capacity and innovation efforts accelerated with major projects underway. […]

Global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) initiatives in March 2024 progressed through airline acquisitions, supply partnerships, and new production developments. Southwest Airlines, Ryanair, and Emirates advanced SAF adoption through large-scale purchase and supply agreements, while ABB and Cap Clean Energy collaborated on facility development across Canada. Production and investment activity also accelerated globally. LanzaTech secured approval […]

Global Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) developments in March 2024 were driven by new funding, certifications, and partnerships across airlines and technology providers. The Canadian Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources announced federal funding for clean fuel projects, while Jet2.com and Kintetsu World Express advanced early SAF adoption in the U.K. and Japan. Collaboration and project […]

While conventional chemical uses of methanol persist, its burgeoning application as a low-carbon marine fuel, driven by the global energy transition and the IMO’s decarbonization targets, is projected to be the primary catalyst for future methanol demand growth.

Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), cloud computing, and other technologies are leading to rapid implementation in various industries around the world. These developments have only been possible due to recent increases in computing power and availability of vast datasets needed to train AI programs. This along with improved algorithms for training […]

Ammonia is mainly used in fertilizer production which represents ~70% of global ammonia demand. A rising population is expected to support consistent ammonia-based fertilizer demand growth in the medium term. Traditionally, ammonia has been produced via steam methane reforming (SMR) or auto-thermal refining (ATR) of methane gas which can emit 1.9 to 2.6 tons of […]
