Traditionally, hydrogen has been produced predominantly via steam methane reforming (SMR), a process in which methane in natural gas reacts with steam at high temperature, producing hydrogen, and carbon dioxide (CO2) as byproduct. Hydrogen produced via this method is commonly referred to as grey hydrogen. Although this method is cost-effective, it contributes significantly to greenhouse […]

The critical need for robust investment in power grid infrastructure has been underscored by recent electricity disruptions experienced in Spain and Portugal. In April 2025, a combination of extreme weather events and constraints on the existing transmission network led to widespread outages, impacting homes, businesses, and essential services across the Iberian Peninsula. Such incidents serve as […]

As the global push for low-carbon energy intensifies, demand for nuclear power is gaining momentum in the United States. At the heart of this resurgence is the rapidly expanding energy appetite of data centers, particularly those supporting artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing. The immense power needs of these facilities are prompting a shift toward […]

The U.S. SAF industry has faced significant uncertainty recently, with questions surrounding how government support, feedstock eligibility, and financial incentives might evolve during President Trump’s second administration. Our recent blog, “The Future of SAF Under Trump: Will Biofuels Thrive or Stall?” highlighted these concerns and emphasized the potential impacts on SAF investments and production strategies. The recent […]

In the April 2025 edition of the ADI chemicals newsletter, we discussed how the chemical industry is prioritizing sustainability, exploring seven renewable electricity options. Globally, there was a mix of plant expansions and closures from ExxonMobil, Dow, and Mitsubishi Chemicals.
