Industry: Renewable power

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 […]

The ripples in the global LNG markets induced by geopolitical conflict seemed to have died down and greater import and export capacity coupled with continued growth in the share of renewable energy will result in a relatively stable yet uncertain LNG market in 2024. Key trends to look out for include the following: Global LNG […]

One of the largest problems affecting the chemical industry in recent years has been the pressure to transition toward clean energy and reduce carbon emissions. More than 20 of the firms in the Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN) Global Top 50 have made investments recently in sustainability or currently have sustainability projects in development. At […]

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain momentum in reshaping the automotive landscape, it’s imperative to confront the practical challenges. The anticipated surge in EV adoption, projected to account for 33% to 50% of new car sales in the U.S. by 2030 (up from ~7% in 2022), raises critical concerns for the power grid. In 2022, EVs […]

Advancements in nuclear technology continue to shape the future of energy production, balancing the scales between safety, efficiency, and economic feasibility. In the previous blog post, we’ve delved into the realm of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Now, we turn our attention to one of the most promising innovations within this domain, the Stable Saltwater Reactors […]

As renewable energy capacity addition accelerates, the renewable energy credit (RECs) can play an important role. But what exactly is an REC and how does it work? RECs are tradable, non-tangible commodities or digital certificates that demonstrate that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from a renewable energy resource and then delivered to the […]

Over the past few decades, the buzz surrounding nuclear energy has subsided significantly. One of the primary reasons for this downturn is the public memory of catastrophic incidents like Fukushima and Chernobyl which have only further entrenched the perception that nuclear energy is risky. Additionally, the escalating total costs and construction schedule delays associated with […]

The aviation industry has faced significant obstacles in reducing its environmental impact, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. However, stakeholders across the aviation value chain are now committed to pursuing sustainability objectives. In both, the United States and Europe, policymakers and industry leaders have implemented supportive policies and incentives to promote the widespread adoption […]

From the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, we have seen global interest fragment across both energy transition and energy security. With several countries being overly reliant on Russian oil and gas, we saw a return to energy sources that the world had been weaning off. For example, Exhibit 1 shows how coal, oil, and nuclear […]

The transportation sector has the highest reliance on fossil fuels and accounted for 37% of CO2 emissions from end-use sectors in 2021. Various industries of the transportation sector have started researching hydrogen as an alternative fuel source, and in this blog, ADI will look at the technological progress that has been made and some of […]

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 […]
