Description

Decarbonization, digital transformation, and technology innovation have accelerated significantly in the past 5 years. As the global energy industry undergoes an unprecedented transition, this change brings exciting new growth opportunities to the oil and gas (O&G) sector. However, shifting to a net-zero carbon-emissions future means that pricing, energy security, and industry disruption also pose challenges for many companies. The energy industry has scarcely been out of the news in the past few years, particularly regarding price fluctuations, supply challenges, security issues, environmental impact, and rising global demand. The transport industry accounts for 30% of the global energy demand, of which 90% comprises oil products. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the transport sector amount to about 8 gigatons (GT) a year, about one-seventh of global emissions. Governments worldwide are developing blending mandates for alternative fuels, with demand for biodiesel, renewable diesel, liquified natural gas (LNG), and synthetic fuels (eFuels) expected to double by 2030, driven by technological advancements. Cross-industry convergence is inevitable in the alternative fuels market, with many O&G companies collaborating with airline companies to develop the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market. This study evaluates the top 10 growth opportunities that Frost & Sullivan has identified for the alternative fuels market in 2026.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
