At the 2022 ADI Forum, Kirsty McCormack, VP of Special Projects at BP, and Heath DePriest, VP of Emerging Energy at Phillips 66, emphasized the importance of setting intermediate milestones for emissions reduction during the Navigating the Energy Transition panel, moderated by Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics. McCormack outlined BP’s dual approach—reducing emissions from […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Trevor Best, CEO of Syzygy Plasmonics, Inc.; David Hatrick, VP of Innovation, Huntsman; and Muhammad Islam, SVP of Business Development and Technology, IHI E&C, discussed the key drivers accelerating green technology adoption. They emphasized that electricity had become a central force in powering emerging technologies, from LEDs to pyrolysis, making […]

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 […]

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

As more countries continue to plan for a carbon-neutral world, many companies are beginning to invest in hydrogen.  Hydrogen can support many decarbonization efforts by emerging as an alternative fuel in transportation, becoming a cleaner heat source in industrial applications.  While we expect the demand for hydrogen to grow significantly in several large-scale applications, there […]

Lithium mining, particularly in Argentina and Chile’s salt flats, faces scrutiny due to its water-intensive nature and potential link to increased droughts, raising environmental sustainability concerns. 1 To mitigate “dirty” lithium mining, electric vehicle battery manufacturers need to explore “clean” alternative sourcing methods.  

Concerns over potential supply shortages and price volatility, stemming from China’s significant control over rare earth metal exports (80% in 2019) and historical instances of export restrictions, are prompting governments and private entities to pursue new projects and diversify sourcing to reduce reliance on China. 1  

The projected surge in clean energy technologies (EVs, batteries, energy storage, and clean power) over the next decade will dramatically increase demand for critical minerals like copper, nickel, cobalt, lithium, manganese, graphite, and REEs, making their adequate supply crucial. The application and demand growth for these minerals will vary across technologies.

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 […]

Today, one of the largest infrastructure companies in North America Kinder Morgan has reached an agreement to acquire Kinetrex Energy, the largest supplier of liquified natural gas (LNG) in the midwestern region and a growing producer and supplier in the renewable natural gas (RNG) market. Kinder Morgan now joins a plethora of companies making their […]
