Industry: Energy Transition

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers tax credits to advance clean-energy initiatives and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While there are incentives for everything from carbon capture through electric vehicles to renewable energy and hydrogen production, there are some penalties. The federal government’s first-ever greenhouse gas (GHG) emission fee is part of the new law’s […]

We discussed the COVID-impact on aviation, regulatory drivers of decarbonization in aviation, and several commitments and investments made by airlines globally in the previous blog. In this blog, we will discuss how growing supply, techno-economic advancements, and feedstock supply will drive global sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) demand growth. There are several ways to manufacture SAF […]

Energy prices have soared throughout Europe since the beginning of the year. The crisis is particularly acute in the EU’s largest economy, Germany, which relies heavily on Russian gas for its economy. Recent events have exacerbated the problem and the German government is taking actions to combat the effects of the crisis on its people […]

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a complex value chain that requires progress in each segment to enable a global energy transition successfully. The four segments of the CCUS value chain, capture, transportation, storage, and use- are seeing varying level of progress. Capture should work more efficiently with power plants, and their CO-concentrated streams […]

On August 16 the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was signed into law by President Joe Biden, and is touted as the “largest federal investment” in clean energy and climate legislation history.  A key target for $369 billion of the IRA investment is reduction of CO2 emissions of 40% below 2005 levels by 2030. Although there […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Heath DePriest, VP of Emerging Energy at Phillips 66, outlined the company’s green energy vision during the Energy Transition panel, moderated by Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics. DePriest discussed Phillips 66’s strategic investments in both the molecule and electron sides of energy transition, including electrification, EV charging, battery technology, […]

The 2022 ADI Forum, ADI Analytics’ flagship oil and gas conference, featured over 30 expert speakers and panelists, sparking engaging discussions on key strategic issues across the entire oil and gas value chain. More than 100 attendees from leading oil and gas, energy, and chemicals companies participated in this insightful event, exchanging perspectives and industry […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Joe Gentry, VP of Licensing at GTC Vorro, discussed the differences between U.S. and European regulatory adoption during the Midstream and NGL panel. He challenged the overemphasis on CO2 as a pollutant, arguing that other emissions, such as H2S contributing to SO2 pollution, posed greater health risks. While many companies […]

New regulations allow the sale of higher ethanol blending gasoline this summer, but will this actually increase ethanol demand?

Amine-based solvents are the main technology for industrial CO2 capture, but alternatives exist. ADI is studying the development of these non-amine technologies as CCS grows, implying potential benefits over current methods.

Consumers weary from the pandemic are back traveling driving up jet fuel demand. Even so, sustainability is high on their minds leading aviation, a hard-to-abate segment of the global economy, to embrace sustainable fuels.

Leading operators such as Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Phillips 66 have announced CCS projects across the oil & gas value chain.
