Industry: Refining & fuels

Since 2017, the ADI Forum had been a vital event for oil and gas professionals seeking networking opportunities and fresh perspectives. Featuring insights from leaders such as Fabio Ribeiro, Director at CISTAR; Terry Shidner, Enterprise Account Executive at AlphaSense; Reinaldo Bermudez, Executive Director of Turbomachinery Sales at MAN Energy Solutions; Vincent Follaca, Senior Business Development […]

Energy transition advanced rapidly through the collective public consciousness in the past two years although starting this past summer, it has run into significant challenges.  To a large extent though, both energy transition’s progress in 2020 and the challenges of 2021 were more conceptual than rooted in concrete form.  Investor-led demand for a greater focus […]

Powered by rising support for decarbonization, hydrogen is being positioned as a key pillar to the energy transition. Through 2021, more than 200 hydrogen projects were announced, 30 countries had released their hydrogen roadmaps, and governments worldwide announced billions of dollars in capital spending towards hydrogen infrastructure. This momentum is expected to continue in 2022 […]

While 2020 presented unprecedented challenges for global petroleum refiners due to pandemic-induced demand destruction, 2021 proved unexpectedly frustrating. Despite progress towards normalcy, persistent COVID-19 variants hindered the anticipated full recovery of oil and gas markets.

The global chemical industry experienced a rapid, albeit unstable, recovery in 2021, with stabilization anticipated in 2022.

In the December 2021 edition of the ADI newsletter, we examined key developments in energy infrastructure, resource flows, and transition-critical materials. We took a closer look at the future of pipeline infrastructure in the Permian Basin as oil prices rebound and capital spending gradually returned. In the Bakken, midstream constraints were driving persistent flaring issues, […]

ADI’s blog series examines the refining industry in Latin American import-reliant nations, including Brazil, Mexico, Chile, and Ecuador. The latest installment focuses on Peru, drawing from their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”

ADI’s blog series analyzes Latin American refining, focusing on import-reliant nations. Previous blogs covered Brazil, Mexico, and Chile; today’s discusses Ecuador, based on their study, “Market Outlook for U.S. Refined Products Exports to Latin America.”

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.”

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.
