Monetization of the abundant supply of natural gas from unconventional shale plays has been primarily focused on large-scale LNG export projects across North America. The aim of these projects is not to supply LNG for domestic markets, but to supply large markets abroad in Europe and Asia. Domestically, the largest use for LNG is for […]
Two Paths Forward for Natural Gas in Marine Applications
With tighter emissions regulations looming over the heads of marine vessel fleet owners, there is new interest in alternative fuels that are more environmentally friendly than diesel or heavy fuel oil. The expanded supply of North American shale gas is giving fleet owners two environmentally friendly options for alternative marine fuels: LNG and methanol. Both […]
Bloomberg Cites ADI Analytics on China
ADI Analytics was cited in Bloomberg’s story about Freeport LNG, which is set to start operations in 2018. ADI Analytics drew upon its database of all LNG projects in the United States to find that no Chinese customers have yet been disclosed on off-take agreements for LNG export projects. “Aside from Cheniere Energy Inc.’s Sabine […]
Advancing Natural Gas Use in Transportation
Nearly all heavy duty trucks in the Unites States run on diesel. However, with an abundant and cheap supply of natural gas from shale plays there is growing interest in replacing diesel fuel in heavy duty tucking, as we have discussed in our recent blogs and reports. LNG will likely be adopted at a regional level […]
Natural Gas Sourcing Strategies for LNG Export Projects
Thanks to the increase in shale gas production many LNG export projects have been announced, and a few have started construction, in the United States. During the third quarter of 2015, the first of these projects, Cheniere’s Sabine Pass terminal, will start exporting LNG around the world. Most attention has focused on these projects securing […]
Fertilizing Gas Monetization Options with Ammonia
The production of ammonia from natural gas is another option to monetize natural gas. Ammonia has been produced from natural gas since the early 20th century by way of the Haber-Bosch process. This is a proven and mature process that is widely practiced by many companies. Although natural gas is the most common feedstock, ammonia […]
ADI Analytics Presents at the GPA Annual Meeting
Uday Turaga of ADI Analytics recently spoke at the annual Gas Processors Association’s meeting. He spoke about natural gas monetization in North America drawing on research from ADI Analytics’ Gas Monetization Advisory discussing a wide range of topics including power generation, GTL technology, LNG projects, and natural gas in transportation. His presentation was recapped in an article by […]
Shell Creates a Stronger LNG Portfolio with BG
We spent this morning chatting with a couple news reporters about Shell’s decision to buy BG and figured a blog post around it may be interesting. Given our work in natural gas monetization, we believe that this transaction significantly strengthens Shell’s position in global LNG markets. First, it enhances the quality of Shell’s LNG supply […]
MTG: Too Much Risk to be Commercially Viable?
Earlier, we wrote about how methanol produced from natural gas can be used in many different processes. One of the processes in the methanol value chain is the methanol to gasoline (MTG) process. ExxonMobil and Haldor Topso are the only two companies who own the licensing rights to this technology. Mobil started the first commercial […]
Monetizing North American Shale with Methanol
As shale-led natural gas production increases in North America, companies around the world are exploring different monetization options. Producing methanol from natural gas has emerged as a popular option for several reasons. Natural gas is a cheap and abundant feedstock in North America, methanol is easy to transport, methanol has numerous uses, methanol prices tend […]
