The European Union (EU) Methane Regulation is known for its strict methane emissions transparency requirements for foreign oil and gas imports, and has driven methane emissions monitoring and reporting efforts, especially among oil and gas players serving the EU market. Under Article 28 of the EU Methane Regulation, importers are required to demonstrate that fossil […]

Gas-to-grid infrastructure has received limited attention amid rapid growth in data-center power demand. Pipelines, storage, fuel delivery, generation, and grid connections determine when new load can receive reliable power.  ADI Analytics and Energy Conference Network launched the inaugural Gas to Grid Summit to examine this part of the value chain. Participants included midstream operators Williams […]

HF Sinclair plans to separate its Lubricants & Specialties business, retire its 15,600-barrel-per-day Ontario base oil refinery, and replace internal production with long-term supply agreements. Similar portfolio activity is visible across the industry: BP sold a controlling interest in Castrol, Saudi Aramco acquired Valvoline’s global products business, and private-equity-backed distributors continue to add local businesses. […]

Disruptions in Russia and the Middle East have removed up to 3 million barrels per day of refining capacity from global markets. Diesel prices have responded accordingly. U.S. diesel prices recently exceeded $6.50 per gallon, U.S. Gulf Coast LLS diesel crack spreads moved above $100 per barrel, and U.S. distillate inventories fell to approximately 107 […]

In a previous article, we discussed how rising electricity demand is forcing utilities to accelerate investments in generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure. Data centers have become one of the largest drivers of that growth, leading utilities across the country to propose billions of dollars in new projects to maintain reliability and serve future load. Most […]

Last week, we attended and presented ADI Analytics‘ perspectives at the U.S. – Middle East & North Africa Natural Gas Midstream Reverse Trade Mission in Houston.  Delegates from Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco discussed plans at the event sponsored by the U.S. Trade & Development Association for LNG imports, pipelines, gas storage, gas-to-power projects, and broader […]

Because most Permian natural gas is associated gas produced alongside oil, operators can often end up with more gas than local markets can absorb. With limited pipeline capacity to move those volumes out of the basin, producers may be forced to sell gas at steep discounts or even pay others to take it, resulting in […]

China’s sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) exports are growing rapidly, with the European Union serving as its primary destination. Total SAF exports from China reached ~138 million gallons in the first half of 2026, with Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain among the largest importers (see Exhibit 1). Exhibit 1. China’s SAF export volumes and destinations through […]

Here are the latest highlights from ADI’s SAF Tracker: The full newsletter along with archives and databases are available to SAF Tracker subscribers.

While diesel production in the Americas increased through the first half of 2026, output in Europe and Asia declined, increasing reliance on North American exports to help balance global supply. This comes at a time when middle distillate markets remain critical to freight, industrial, and commercial activity, making reliable diesel supply increasingly important for many […]

In September 2026 edition, chemical portfolio realignment continued to accelerate. Shell is exploring the sale of its U.S. chemicals business, while TotalEnergies acquired Shell’s European renewables unit and Lotte Chemical moves to divest its Southeast Asian petrochemical subsidiaries. Sika expanded its adhesives and sealants footprint in Turkey, and Mitsui increased its stake in Nutrinova to […]

SAF investment scaled across offtake, production, and technology. EVA Air signed an MoU with AIT Worldwide Logistics to provide SAF environmental attributes supporting Microsoft’s Scope 3 emissions reductions, while Shanghai Electric Group broke ground on the next phase of its green fuel complex in China. Sumitomo Heavy Industries began trial operations at a biomass gasification […]
