Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Chemical Market Resources, sat down for a fireside chat with David Hatrick, VP of Innovation at Huntsman, during FlexPO+ 2022 (now incorporated into the ADI Forum)—ADI Chemical Market Resources’s annual plastics and polymers conference. How did a physics major end up shaping the future of the chemical industry? In this […]

Eagle Ford natural gas production is increasing, but what is driving the growth? Also, a look at what top operators are doing to reduce GHG emissions.

With carbon capture becoming more prevalent in today’s world, CO2 conversion is becoming one of the popular utilization methods for the captured emissions.

Given the IMO’s ambitious goals to halve the shipping industry’s 2050 GHG emissions from 2008 GHG emission levels, shipowners and ship engine manufacturers must carefully consider a broader range of marine fuels for the world’s future fleet, such as ammonia and methanol.

Since 2019, midstream companies have been lowering their capital spending annually. For example, Kinder Morgan expects to spend roughly $390 million less in capex in 2022 than they did in 2019, as seen in Exhibit 1. This trend for companies in the industry is due to a multitude of factors which were covered in depth […]

Companies are buying carbon offsets to become “net-zero.” What are the risks and challenges with carbon offsets and do they mitigate climate change?

Growing ESG pressure from investors, rise in public awareness towards climate change, and countries setting ambitious net-zero emission targets have motivated upstream operators to invest in technologies that can reduce their carbon footprint. What are the operators doing to reduce flaring?

ADI Analytics along with the U.S. Energy Association and Gas Technology Institute explored the opportunities for U.S.-based small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Central and Eastern Europe for the U.S. Department of Energy in 2020. While decarbonization, energy security, and supply diversification were identified as the key drivers of U.S.-based small-scale LNG adoption in the […]

Cheniere Energy’s SVP Christopher Smith opened the 2022 ADI Forum, which included 6 panels and over 25 speakers from Devon Energy, BP, Phillips 66, NextDecade, Huntsman, and Surge Energy. The agenda focused on upstream and midstream oil and gas, LNG, hydrogen, fuels, and innovation, with a strong emphasis on navigating the energy transition. FlexPO+ featured […]

At the 2022 ADI Forum, Uday Turaga, CEO of ADI Analytics, and Matt Jackson, VP at Crowley, discussed LNG’s rapid adoption in shipping, despite emerging alternatives like ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen. Supply chain and pricing challenges had delayed these fuels, while LNG‑powered vessels surged past 900, offering a 20–30% emissions reduction and a pathway to […]

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, joined the hydrogen and fuels panel. Key topics included technology scaling, photocatalysis, hydrogen production, carbon byproduct management, and customer education. They discussed the evolution of a […]
