Industry: Industrials & Digital

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 […]

The Biden Administration’s recent pause on permits for LNG exports to non-FTA countries has sparked industry-wide debate. While motivated by climate concerns, the pause could delay the retirement of coal-fired plants in emerging economies, paradoxically slowing greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. The U.S. has successfully cut its CO2 emissions by 18% since 2005, largely by switching […]

While the broader sentiment around energy transition turned more pessimistic in 2023, investments in clean energy and related technologies still increased by more than 20%. This included renewables, biofuels, and a wide range of low-carbon solutions. Despite this growth, we anticipate a more measured pace of progress in 2024, as reflected in the following themes: Overall, 2024 shapes up to be a […]

In 2024, the upstream oil and gas industry is expected to experience notable changes influenced by developments in 2023. From the ongoing wave of consolidation and the maturation of the U.S. shale sector to pivotal shifts in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, the industry is adapting to new dynamics. Technological advancements, particularly in digitalization and […]

Cement, a fundamental building block of modern construction, has long been integral to the development of infrastructure worldwide. Today, concrete made from cement is the most consumed material after water. However, its vital role comes at a significant environmental cost. The production of traditional cement, also known as Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is highly energy […]

In line with the Paris Agreement’s targets of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 45% by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050, companies across the world are looking for ways to reduce their emissions. There are some seeing this trend as an emerging market and are working to monetize other companies’ carbon emissions. […]

The U.S. energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation leading to an impressive increase in capital expenditure (capex) in the utility sector. This upsurge in investment is fundamentally changing how energy is generated, transmitted, and consumed throughout the country. Several tailwinds are propelling the growth of capital investments in the utility sector in the U.S.: […]
