Industry: Oil & Gas

ADI’s blog series examines Latin American refining and fuel demand, previously covering Brazil and Mexico. Today’s blog focuses on Chile’s import reliance, drawing from their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”

A key growth driver behind liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand has been environmental policy and regulatory pressure driven by decarbonization and air quality improvement goals. The Paris Agreement signed in 2016 aims to restrict greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and slow the global temperature rise to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. The Philippines committed to the […]

Several countries have laid out hydrogen strategies in the journey to energy transition. For example, South Korea is aiming to quadruple current annual demand for hydrogen to 2 million tons per year (MMTPA) by 2030 and grow to 5 MMTPA by 2050. Similarly, Japan is aiming to consume 3 MMTPA by 2030, rising to 20 MMTPA by 2050. However, […]

Natural gas markets and prices are boiling these days with European and Asian buyers falling over themselves to secure supplies The boil is roiling global markets through a domino effect that is impacting everything including power and heating bills, fertilizer and aluminum plants, carbonated sodas and turkeys for Christmas feasts, energy transition, and global economic […]

How will hydrogen by transported if Energy Transition picks up the pace? Can existing pipelines help meet growing hydrogen demand?

Primarily used for aluminum (90%), alumina also finds applications in abrasives, refractories, glass, and ceramics. Extracted from bauxite via the Bayer process, which yields alumina as a white powder, a significant challenge is the environmentally hazardous alkaline by-product, red mud.

We continue our coverage of refined product exports to Latin America with a profile of Mexican fuel imports.

In the September 2021 edition of the ADI newsletter, global natural gas prices were surging, triggering a widespread domino effect across markets—raising heating and electricity costs, disrupting industrial operations, and impacting everything from fertilizer production to holiday food supplies. In Latin America, Mexico remains a focal point for refined fuel imports, shaping regional trade dynamics. […]

The initial euphoria of a quick post-COVID recovery to jet fuel markets has now died. In addition to near-term challenges, jet fuel markets are also beset with long-term constraints. What is the future of jet fuel?

ADI Analytics was asked to provide an outlook on natural gas markets for CompressorTech2 magazine. Our article was featured in the August-September 2021 edition and provided insights from our research on the outlook of natural gas demand, supply pricing, projects, and implications on international trade. The article also covered the impact COVID-19 had on natural […]

In the August 2021 edition of the ADI newsletter, we examined the uncertain future of jet fuel markets amid both immediate setbacks and structural long-term shifts. We also spotlight the growing role of landfill-to-energy projects, particularly renewable natural gas, in the broader energy transition. Finally, we looked at the critical role of copper in supporting […]

With the burst of global economic demand, Brent crude oil reached a high of $75 earlier this month. There are several factors associated with this price rise but sustaining these price levels will be tricky.
