Venture capital fuels innovation in oil & gas, energy, and chemicals

Venture capital firms are fueling innovation across energy, chemicals, and industrials. However, they must navigate technical uncertainty, market shifts, and regulatory complexity to succeed.

ADI Analytics supports venture capital firms with comprehensive consulting services across the entire investment lifecycle, including in-depth market research, critical technical insight, scale-up strategies, commercialization support, and robust commercial validation.

Venture capital drives new frontiers

Venture capital is vital for commercializing emerging technologies across energy transition, sustainable materials, specialty chemicals, and advanced manufacturing. Investments target early-stage companiesin areas like hydrogen, carbon capture, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), bioplastics, battery materials, and industrial decarbonization.

Navigating complex investment landscapes

Despite robust innovation, venture capital investors face challenges assessing technical feasibility, product-market fit, regulatory risk, and customer demand. Fast-moving timelines and evolving policies intensify the need for rigorous analysis, while shifting value chains demand agile, informed decisions in scouting, screening, and due diligence.

Scaling and commercializing innovation

Venture-backed companies are pressured to prove scalability, cost competitiveness, and alignment with decarbonization goals. Demonstrating both sustainability and commercial viability is crucial for attracting follow-on capital.

Expert insight for confident investment
