Traditionally, hydrogen has been produced predominantly via steam methane reforming (SMR), a process in which methane in natural gas reacts with steam at high temperature, producing hydrogen, and carbon dioxide (CO2) as byproduct. Hydrogen produced via this method is commonly referred to as grey hydrogen. Although this method is cost-effective, it contributes significantly to greenhouse […]
Capitalizing on the global natural gas and LNG supercycle
Natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG), once touted as a bridge fuel to a low-carbon renewable energy-powered future, are now increasingly seen as a permanently central part of the evolving global energy landscape. Factors such as explosive growth in AI and data centers in the U.S. and elsewhere, energy security concerns in Europe and […]
The flight forward: How 45Z guidance is reshaping the future of U.S. SAF
The U.S. SAF industry has faced significant uncertainty recently, with questions surrounding how government support, feedstock eligibility, and financial incentives might evolve during President Trump’s second administration. Our recent blog, “The Future of SAF Under Trump: Will Biofuels Thrive or Stall?” highlighted these concerns and emphasized the potential impacts on SAF investments and production strategies. […]
Green Fuels: Overcoming Barriers to Decarbonization
The global transition towards sustainable energy has placed green fuels at the forefront of efforts to decarbonize aviation, maritime, and heavy industries. These green fuels — renewable diesel (RD), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol — promise a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels. However, mainstream adoption requires overcoming significant barriers, including scalability, infrastructure […]
The future of SAF under Trump : Will biofuels thrive or stall?
The reelection of President Donald Trump has raised concerns regarding the future of biofuels in the United States, including SAF. With the U.S. expected to produce 40% of global SAF supply through 2028, the already turbulent road to SAF adoption could face increased challenges during President Trump’s second term. SAF stakeholders have four primary concerns, […]
Batteries of the cars go round and round!
Electric vehicles (EVs) demand continues to grow, albeit at a slightly slower pace, as ADI has reported previously. Policy support, falling battery pack and cell prices, rising consumer interest, and innovation by automotive OEMs are all driving this growth resulting in concerns on whether there is enough supply of various critical minerals including lithium, nickel, and other critical minerals. […]
The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election – Part 2: How will Harris and Trump impact U.S. energy policies?
Beginning with the 2016 Presidential election in the U.S., ADI has been publishing a summary of energy policy proposals by the leading candidates. Our summary has typically collected the positions of the two candidates on key energy issues, and we have tried to be objective by using their own words — made through statements reported […]
Finding the perfect spot to build your next project
Selecting the site for a new hydrogen project, chemicals plant, or renewable energy facility can be a long and rigorous process. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is driving investment into new energy transition projects, but location is often a critical factor in project’s success. Whether it’s the company’s first, second, or hundredth facility, finding the […]
Greener chemical operations – Part 2: Characteristics of renewable electricity options
Renewable electricity is becoming increasingly accessible for companies striving to meet their sustainability goals. They can either generate it themselves or procure it from third-party providers. There are seven options a chemical company can use to obtain renewable electricity such as owned on-site generation, owned off-site generation, on-site Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) / operating leases, […]
Greener chemical operations – Part 1: Renewable electricity options
The chemical industry, a hard-to-abate sector, is a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to its high energy consumption. This significant energy use is largely driven by the extensive operation of furnaces and boilers, particularly in producing products such as ethylene. To address this, the industry faces considerable pressure to decarbonize and one […]
