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 […]
Alcohol-to-jet: Fueling the future of SAF
As the world moves towards a more sustainable energy future, ethanol and methanol could play a key role in powering not just vehicles but also airplanes. With mandates in place in the U.S. and EU for the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and initiatives by organizations such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) […]
Back to the pavilion: Steady growth of investments in offshore oil and gas and LNG
Recent decisions by governments and energy companies highlight a growing focus on energy security over energy transition. South Korea, a leading importer of fossil fuels and home to some of the largest chemical companies in Asia Pacific, recently commissioned geophysical exploration that showed likelihood of 14 billion barrels of oil and gas off the coast […]
Creating a reliable and efficient grid with AI
Recent developments in AI are changing how the electric utilities sector approaches energy transition. The processing power of AI will be essential in managing the grid as renewables account for a larger share of energy supply and access to reliable power becomes even more important with growing demand from electrification. Specifically, AI is helping electric […]
