Why do data centers need better cooling? Data centers are the foundation of digitalization. These facilities are the physical locations that hold the servers used for AI processing and cloud computing. Skyrocketing demand for AI is resulting in a race to build new data center capacity. However, today’s data centers are an order of magnitude […]

ADI forecasts continued, yet moderated, growth and investment in shale, driven by gas demand, divestitures, and innovation.

Beginning with the 2016 Presidential election in the U.S., ADI has been publishing a summary of energy policy proposals by the leading candidates. Our summary has typically collected the positions of the two candidates on key energy issues, and we have tried to be objective by using their own words – made through statements reported […]

ADI has been reporting about struggling natural gas prices over the past year. U.S. natural gas prices have been on a rollercoaster again this year despite the country emerging as the top LNG exporter globally. Henry Hub benchmark prices started at $3.18 per MMBtu in the beginning of this year but fell to $1.49 per […]

Renewable electricity is becoming increasingly accessible for companies striving to meet their sustainability goals. They can either generate it themselves or procure it from third-party providers. There are seven options a chemical company can use to obtain renewable electricity, such as owned on-site generation, owned off-site generation, on-site Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) / operating leases, […]

In the September 2024 edition of the ADI newsletter, we analyzed the trends in U.S. natural gas prices and spotlighted emerging green electricity solutions for decarbonization. We shared highlights from the 2024 ADI Forum, featuring expert insights on LNG, CCUS, and private equity in chemicals. We explored how AI is transforming mining operations and why […]

Recent developments in AI and machine learning (ML) technologies are changing daily operations in the mining industry. With the ability to analyze large amounts of data and provide recommendations in real-time, AI is driving change in the mining industry by improving exploration, reducing waste and improving efficiency with automation, minimizing environmental impacts, and improving the […]

On November 5th Americans will vote for their next president. This election can feel like déjà vu, as the two main candidates are the same as in 2020. According to current polls and reports, the race is expected to be tight. The first debate is scheduled for June 27th and might help inform voters – […]

Recent decisions by governments and energy companies highlight a growing focus on energy security over energy transition. South Korea, a leading importer of fossil fuels and home to some of the largest chemical companies in Asia Pacific, recently commissioned geophysical exploration that showed likelihood of 14 billion barrels of oil and gas off the coast […]

Industrial manufacturers are utilizing the increased processing power of AI to improve and automate their operations.

AI is transforming electric utilities’ energy transition by optimizing grid management, renewable integration, asset maintenance, grid integrity, and smart building efficiency.

The clean energy revolution is upon us, and the U.S. grid is feeling the growing pains. A staggering 2,600 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy projects, primarily solar and wind, are lined up waiting to connect to the grid . This clean energy tsunami is more than double the existing generating capacity in the U.S., signifying […]
