Sustainability and ESG

Balancing environmental impact and capital growth across oil & gas, energy, and chemicals

Navigating complex environmental, social, and governance expectations across oil & gas, energy, and chemicals requires data-driven clarity. ADI Analytics designs, implements, and improves comprehensive performance frameworks to lower emissions while safeguarding long-term commercial value. We combine deep asset-level engineering insights with robust market data to translate evolving climate targets and stakeholder pressures into clear, economically viable corporate pathways.

Lower corporate footprints. Develop rigorous asset-level carbon abatement planning to optimize energy efficiency, exploit emerging clean technologies, and systematically reduce regulatory and social risks across complex industrial supply chains.

Quantify competitive positioning. Utilize extensive industry benchmarking and marginal abatement costs (MAC) curves to evaluate peer performance, refine your comprehensive ESG strategy, and capture high-value commercial opportunities within an actionable circular economy strategy.

Satisfy institutional stakeholders. Deploy transparent ESG reporting frameworks that simplify complex compliance tracking, enhance corporate governance, and satisfy the rigorous due diligence demands of public and private financial institutions.

Experience

Sustainability assessment for electric utilities

ADI assessed how sustainability priorities are influencing actual capital allocation across electric utilities, with a focus on transmission, distribution, and grid digitalization. The work drew on utility‑level benchmarks covering decarbonization targets, resilience investments, and governance structures, supplemented by interviews with sustainability and planning leaders. Emphasis was placed on distinguishing aspirational ESG commitments from areas driving […]

Transportation energy scenario planning

ADI Analytics supported a scenario planning effort to help a client understand and prepare for evolving transportation energy trends and their long-term business implications. The client A leading chemical major serving the automotive and fuel markets and seeking to anticipate shifts in transportation energy. The situation The client wanted to explore how changes in transportation […]

Competitive analysis for mobile emissions catalysts

ADI Analytics gathered competitive intelligence on the operational and commercial practices of key mobile emissions catalysts manufacturers. This effort included benchmarking their manufacturing processes and technology, as well as their sales and commercial strategies. The client A large European chemical producer sought to maximize margins and profitability for its mobile emissions catalysts business. The situation […]

Circularity strategy for EV batteries

ADI helped a global automotive battery supplier transform their costly EV battery disposal process into a profitable, sustainable business by creating a new battery circularity strategy. The client We partnered with a global automotive battery supplier with their strategy for a rapid transition toward electrified vehicles. The situation The client’s current process for handling old […]

Strategic assessment of IRA incentives for refiners

ADI analyzed the stackable tax credits provided by the Inflation Reduction Act to prioritize decarbonization projects at existing refining assets. The study mapped technical pathways for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), blue hydrogen, and carbon capture against regional infrastructure and environmental justice criteria. This effort identified how loan guarantees and transferability provisions can de-risk capital projects […]

Building efficiency assessment methodology

ADI developed a vendor‑independent Building Efficiency Assessment Methodology (BEAM) to quantify energy savings, emissions reductions, and retrofit economics across existing building portfolios. The work combined inductive benchmarking from comparable buildings, scenario‑based modeling, and conversion‑rate analysis to move retrofit decisions upstream without costly on‑site audits. Emphasis was placed on translating engineering outputs into CFO‑relevant metrics such […]

Client Results
ADI got up to speed very quickly in what we do, spent time with the team, the technology, and the markets and did the evaluation themselves.

Record RFS mandates strain biofuel supplies

The EPA’s recently finalized Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) for 2026–2027 raise Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates to record levels, marking a step-change in required blending volumes. This shift increases demand across the system and leaves less buffer between required volumes and available supply, tightening overall market conditions. Key dynamics shaping supply requirements: These dynamics suggest […]

Oil & gas midstream: 2026 mid-year trends and supply chain impacts

The midstream sector in the first half of 2026 is moving at a breakneck pace, driven by a strategic pivot toward “wellhead-to-water” natural gas liquid (NGL) integration, severe high-horsepower compression supply-chain constraints, and a massive power-generation super-cycle spurred by AI data center expansion. Rather than relying on speculative mega-projects, major pipeline operators are maximizing fee-based […]
