As one of the earliest adopters of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), the oil and gas industry has contributed significantly to the development of CCS processes over the last five decades. Recently, prominent oil and gas companies such as Chevron, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, and TotalEnergies have announced new CCS projects across the oil and gas […]
What goes into making a Techno-Economic Analysis
A techno-economic analysis (TEA) is a very useful tool to evaluate the economic performance of an industrial process or product. The TEA can be used to study the impacts of implementing a new technology into a current process, optimize existing processes, or to evaluate the economic feasibility of a process before an investment is made. […]
In memoriam: Dr. T. S. R. Prasada Rao
Dr. T. S. R. Prasada Rao, a passionate champion for ADI Analytics right from its inception in 2009, was officially Senior Executive Advisor but guided and mentored the firm like a Chairman. On his passing, Uday Turaga, Founder & CEO, ADI Analytics wrote this tribute to Dr. Prasada Rao that appeared in our newsletter for […]
Hydrothermal liquefaction for renewable fuels
Rapid growth in the adoption of alternatives to fossil fuels is driven by the lower lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of alternative fuels. Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), pyrolysis, photocatalysis, and gasification are some of the technologies to produce biofuels at various stages of technology advancement and commercialization today. HTL is one of the more promising technologies […]
Floating light: The potential of hydrogen as a marine fuel
The global shipping industry is one of the hard-to-abate industries when it comes to decarbonization. While it constitutes a small share of global CO2 emissions today, it may see astronomical amount of growth if left unchecked. Global shipping industry demand is expected to see a 275% increase by 2050 compared to 2020 levels. To address […]
Using Direct Lithium Extraction to secure battery materials in the U.S.
Last February, the U.S. Department of Energy announced plans to provide $2.91 billion toward advancing domestic battery production and securing domestic critical mineral supply, as directed by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to support the growing electric vehicle and energy storage demand. Funding opportunities are given to researchers and developers of cutting-edge mineral extraction technologies, and […]
Can U.S. Coal Survive in the ESG Era?
Coal is one of the oldest sources of energy. Originally, coal was used as a source of heat dating back to pre-historic eras. In the 1800s, coal was used to power steam engines making it the leader of large-scale energy creation. Over time, coal usage has begun to decline due to its high life cycle […]
Gas production takeoff: an outlook for the Eagle Ford shale
The effects of the pandemic were evident with a decline in natural gas production during 2020, just when it was expected to grow in 2019. The overall natural gas production from the five major regions in the U.S., namely Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Niobrara, and Anadarko, declined during 2020. Although the output from the Permian […]
The emergence of new CO2 conversion methods
As energy transition is still a prevalent topic in today’s world, many are looking for alternative energy fuels and sources to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. However, some are turning to look for solutions regarding the emissions themselves. Carbon capture has become an idea gaining major traction as companies and governments are beginning to heavily invest […]
Decarbonizing the shipping industry: Methanol and ammonia as marine fuels
On January 1, 2020, a new rule by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), known as “IMO 2020”, came into force and marked a significant milestone for the shipping industry. This rule limited the sulfur content in fuel oil used on board ships to 0.5% mass by mass, compared to the previous limit of 3.5%. Since […]
