Despite abundant onshore gas, advancements in methane hydrate technology, exemplified by the Alaskan North Slope test, hold future resource potential.

Uday Turaga, Founder & CEO of ADI Analytics, delivered a compelling keynote at the Natural Gas Utilization Conference in Pittsburgh, PA, on September 7, 2012. His presentation explored innovative strategies for monetizing shale gas, offering key insights into market opportunities and industry trends.

Decreased gasoline demand and higher corn prices are causing ethanol plant shutdowns, with limited demand growth expected due to near-saturated E10 blending and concerns over E15’s potential vehicle damage and performance issues.

The 2009 U.S. stimulus package allocated funds across diverse energy sector programs.

Advocacy around natural gas vehicles has attracted interest but meaningful penetration of natural gas in the transportation sector is limited by a number of technological hurdles. Natural gas storage and compression are two of many such hurdles.

Was the debate about fracking defended correctly?

Despite recent reduced public attention, two new reports indicate continued expansion in renewable energy capacity, investment, geographic distribution, and decreasing energy costs.

Recent months have brought increasing optimism for refiners, particularly in the U.S. Gulf Coast, Rockies, and Midwest. Capitalizing on this potential upturn necessitates operational excellence, capital discipline, and favorable market conditions.

Geothermal energy, though under-publicized, provides reliable, low-cost, low-emission baseload power; its potential hinges on technological progress.

ADI Chemical Market Resources (ADI CMR) provides a comprehensive analysis of polyolefin catalyst technologies, covering catalysts used in the production of LLDPE, MDPE, HDPE, and PP in low-pressure reactors.

The North American success story has motivated a number of foreign countries and companies to initiate efforts toward developing their local shale gas resources. The potential is very promising. A study commissioned by the EIA concluded that nearly 6,000 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas reserves are available in 32 countries. This is far more […]

Süd-Chemie launches improved PDH catalyst for Catofin technology Süd-Chemie, a Clariant subsidiary, says that its “breakthrough” catalyst used in the Lummus Catofin propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technology has been successful in delivering a significant increase in propylene selectivity, while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. The new catalyst, introduced just more than a year ago, has delivered a […]
