After nearly a decade of stagnant growth, geothermal energy may be poised for a period of growth again. New technologies, new investors, and technological innovations for geothermal systems including enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), supercritical geothermal, and advanced geothermal systems (AGS). A discussion of these systems can be found here. Changing Landscape One of the biggest […]
Going Blue: Advancing direct air capture
One of the biggest challenges to direct air capture (DAC) has been the costs, as discussed in our previous blog that can be found here. Notable interest in carbon capture and DAC from both the public and private sector are providing new funding and incentives to promote the advancement of these technologies. Numerous projects are […]
Going Blue: A review of direct air capture
As the world moves to a more sustainable future and is advancing ways to reduce greenhouse gases and limit the effects of climate change, direct air capture (DAC) is one process being developed and deployed to remove CO2 from the atmosphere along with other efforts to reduce emissions. This industry is still in its infancy […]
The forgotten renewable: A review of geothermal energy
In the discussions of renewable energy, much of the conversation usually revolves around wind and solar. Often overlooked is the energy beneath our feet, geothermal, so much so that it is sometimes called the “forgotten renewable”. Geothermal, however, is a vast, largely untapped resource capable of supplying our power needs; in fact, it is estimated […]
German energy markets: Between a rock and a hard place
Energy prices have soared throughout Europe since the beginning of the year. The crisis is particularly acute in the EU’s largest economy, Germany, which relies heavily on Russian gas for its economy. Recent events have exacerbated the problem and the German government is taking actions to combat the effects of the crisis on its people […]
April 2021: Role of Small-Scale LNG in the Energy Transition Conference
April 2021- As part of the UBS Energy Transition Series webinars, ADI Analytics presented on the “Role of Small-Scale LNG in the Energy Transition.” The conference call addressed key insights into energy transition including the role of natural gas, which helps with the goals of global decarbonization and air quality improvement across various scales. ADI continued to discuss the small-scale LNG segments that […]
Understanding the EV charger infrastructure ecosystem
Electrification of the transportation sector is one of the frontrunners of the energy transition. Electric vehicles (EV) adoption is driven by regulatory pressures and incentives, falling EV prices, technological advancements, and growing availability of EV models. The number of EVs in North America are expected to grow at 25-30% per year through 2030 and although […]
Energy transition: Faster and faster in 2021
Energy transition stood out for growth and opportunity in an otherwise difficult energy industry landscape in 2020. Consumer and investor appetite both grew voraciously in 2020 for a broad range of low-carbon, sustainable, resource-efficient, and environmentally-friendly offerings and technologies. Policy support also grew although most of it was in Europe and, to a certain extent, […]
Small-scale LNG: A catalyst for the energy transition
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is increasingly seen as one of several catalysts to the energy transition. As countries seek to reach their decarbonization goals, they will have to go beyond switching from coal- to natural gas-fired power generation, and explore carbon-efficient options across all energy demand segments. Many countries around the world are now seeing […]
