One of the biggest challenges to renewable energy projects is the intermittency of these resources; the sun doesn’t always shine, and the wind doesn’t always blow. These challenges have been made apparent around the world from wind droughts in Europe to winter storms in Texas. One solution to this challenge is expanding grid-scale energy storage […]

Following the pandemic-induced recession and drop in investments in 2020, global investments in energy have increased. Investments in both fossil fuels and renewables have steadily increased, with renewable energy gaining the most. In fact, investments in renewable energy (solar and wind) are set to surpass oil and gas for the first time ever, with $494 […]

At the 2023 ADI Forum, Allie Thurmond, Asset Manager, US GoM Exploration, Equinor, highlighted Equinor’s commitment to the energy transition, focusing on emissions reduction and renewable investments while maintaining oil and gas operations. The company allocated over 50% of its CapEx to renewables, balancing equity, sustainability, and security. Geoscientists played a key role in offshore […]

At the 2023 ADI Forum, Dustin Stolz, Senior Analyst, ADI Analytics, shared key insights on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and the decarbonization of oil and gas. He provided context on the global decarbonization landscape. Stolz highlighted the EU’s Green Deal Industrial Plan as a response to the U.S. IRA. This plan was aimed […]

At the 2023 ADI Forum, Brandon Schwertner, President, Priority Power Management, discussed the challenges of electrifying remote areas and managing an aging grid. As oil and gas companies integrated low-carbon energy, rising costs posed a key hurdle. Solutions such as PPAs, demand response, and behind-the-meter solar would optimize reliability and costs were highlighted. In Texas, […]

At the 2023 FlexPO+ (now incorporated into the ADI Forum), Carlos Villa, R&D Fellow, Dow Chemical, and Matthew Seabaugh, VP, Product Launch, Nexceris LLC, joined moderator Uday Turaga, CEO, ADI Analytics for the decarbonizing chemicals panel. Key topics included demand for renewable/low-carbon power, nuclear small modular reactors (SMRs), and the integration of high-temperature heat with […]

The global LNG market was influenced by some unprecedented factors in 2022. Europe significantly grew their LNG imports driving LNG prices to astounding highs. U.S. emerged as the top exporter in spite of an emergency shutdown at Freeport LNG. High shipping rates also plagued LNG markets along with limited supply and growing sustainability pressures. All […]

After nearly a decade of stagnant growth, geothermal energy may be poised for a period of growth again. New technologies, new investors, and technological innovations for geothermal systems including enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), supercritical geothermal, and advanced geothermal systems (AGS). A discussion of these systems can be found here. Changing Landscape One of the biggest […]

Deliverables include monthly briefs, quarterly and annual reports, data tools, and direct expert access—designed to help stakeholders assess projects, economics, risks, and strategic opportunities. The main areas of focus […]

While the energy crisis in Europe is well known, with much of the continent facing gas shortages due to the war in Ukraine and subsequent Russian sanctions and policies, less talked about is an energy crisis brewing in the U.S. Problems with natural gas infrastructure in New England have been mounting for years, and the […]

In the discussions of renewable energy, much of the conversation usually revolves around wind and solar. Often overlooked is the energy beneath our feet, geothermal, so much so that it is sometimes called the “forgotten renewable”. Geothermal, however, is a vast, largely untapped resource capable of supplying our power needs; in fact, it is estimated […]

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 […]
