As U.S. shale plays mature, oil and gas operators face an intensification of a longstanding challenge: managing water efficiently. Given that produced water represents the largest by-product or waste stream associated with oil and gas production, coupled with the potentially costly treatment methods and environmental impacts, effectively handling produced water becomes a challenging task. The […]

Ammonia is mainly used in fertilizer production which represents ~70% of global ammonia demand. A rising population is expected to support consistent ammonia-based fertilizer demand growth in the medium term. Traditionally, ammonia has been produced via steam methane reforming (SMR) or auto-thermal refining (ATR) of methane gas which can emit 1.9 to 2.6 tons of […]

The Biden Administration’s recent pause on permits for LNG exports to non-FTA countries has sparked industry-wide debate. While motivated by climate concerns, the pause could delay the retirement of coal-fired plants in emerging economies, paradoxically slowing greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. The U.S. has successfully cut its CO2 emissions by 18% since 2005, largely by switching […]
ADI Analytics has launched a multi-client study analyzing the U.S. outlook for gasoline and octane. The study examines key near- and long-term drivers influencing gasoline and octane supply, demand, and value. Below are the key topics covered in the study: We welcome you to join this study. As a subscriber, you’ll have multiple options to […]
The global blue ammonia market is rapidly expanding, driven by increasingly stringent decarbonization policies and regulations that promote the production and adoption of low-carbon ammonia. Examples include the European Union’s (EU) Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which incentivizes low-carbon ammonia production by imposing a carbon cost on imports based on their embedded emissions. Besides, the […]
