Industry: Energy Transition

Last week, South Korea announced its new SAF roadmap after postponing the start of its mandate from 2025 to 2027. Exhibit 1 highlights several key elements, including (1) SAF qualification criteria, (2) SAF blending targets and timelines, (3) compliance requirements and penalties, and (4) policy incentives and support measures. It is a comprehensive approach that […]

In recent months, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) initiatives have gained momentum across Asia Pacific as governments, airlines, and industry players step up efforts to promote SAF adoption. Exhibit 1 highlights the SAF mandates announced in different countries, along with recent announcements of airlines securing offtake agreements and SAF plants coming online. Exhibit 1. SAF targets […]

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) development accelerated globally through September 2025, supported by new offtake agreements and partnerships. Airlines such as Delta Air Lines and Alaska Airlines expanded SAF use, while logistics players such as Belimo Automation and Swiss WorldCargo integrated SAF use to reduce Scope 3 emissions. The sector saw broader advancement in refinery conversions […]

This was an exciting week as ADI Analytics was honored to host U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum at our exhibit at Gastech 2025 in Milan. Secretary Wright showed keen interest when our conversation shifted from gas and LNG to produced water management—a topic likely close to his past life leading […]

Global LNG capacity grew by more than 20 million tons per annum (mtpa) from 2023 through mid-2025. North America, including the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, accounted for about 65% of this new capacity. Additionally, 2 mtpa of this capacity came from floating terminals and ~11 mtpa from terminals with small-scale, modular LNG trains (each less […]

In the September 2025 edition of the ADI Newsletter, we highlight new oil and gas exploration in Africa as a driving force behind reshaping the continent’s energy landscape. A long-term growth supercycle for natural gas and LNG has become central to global energy strategies, influenced by AI growth, energy security, and economic shifts. Additionally, the […]

Global adoption of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) gained traction in August 2025, supported by new offtake agreements and government initiatives. Airlines such as Air India signed long-term purchase agreements, while Japan and Australia progressed through new freight partnerships and pre-FEED project milestones. Rising investments and technology innovations continued across the sector. China National Aviation Fuel […]

The U.S. LNG export capacity growth stagnated over the past couple years due to delays caused by market volatility, labor shortages, and regulatory uncertainty. Now, the supportive stance of the Trump Administration and growing global gas demand are expected to bolster the U.S. LNG sector through 2030. U.S. LNG export capacity reached a little over […]

Jet fuel demand is taking off, a key finding from ADI’s recent long-term forecast. Other fuels face a turbulent market today as gasoline demand is weak and diesel shows modest growth. On the contrary, jet fuel is a bright spot in the energy sector. The aviation sector’s recovery is the primary driver behind this surge. Demand for jet […]

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) development advanced globally in August 2025, marked by new strategic partnerships and expanded adoption. Lufthansa Cargo and CEVA Logistics scaled up their SAF use to decarbonize air freight operations, while Finnair and CN Logistics formed a joint initiative to reduce Scope 3 emissions across their value chains. The sector saw continued […]

ADI Analytics has just published our global diesel demand forecast. While the long-term outlook for gasoline is characterized by significant regional divergence, it is clear that diesel is here to stay. After a period of relative stagnation since 2015, global diesel demand is projected to grow well through 2045. This resilient growth trajectory, faster than the pace […]

In the August 2025 edition of the ADI Newsletter, U.S. shale expertise is highlighted as a driving force behind global growth in unconventional oil and gas. Natural gas and LNG have become central to energy strategies worldwide, influenced by AI, data centers, energy security, and reshoring. Moreover, the plastics industry is rapidly evolving toward sustainability […]
