North America Energy Transition by Key Sectors and Companies Driving Development

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

North America’s energy transition is continuing to gather pace, with a  combination of technological development and favorable policy incentives driving substantial growth across renewables, hydrogen and CCUS sectors. Technologies such as electric vehicles and renewable fuels are also experiencing increasing adoption albeit at a slower rate.

Despite the current dominance of natural gas within North America’s generation mix, a rapid build-out of solar PV and wind capacity will boost renewable generation so that it will contribute 55% of total generation by 2035. Despite inflationary pressures causing project slowdowns, offshore wind will also remain the fastest growing technology, experiencing a CAGR of 67% between 2023 and 2035.
A combination of higher gasoline prices, growing environmental consciousness and improved battery performance will increase the demand for electric vehicles within the US and Canada. As a result, electric vehicles will exceed 75% of the light vehicle market in Canada and the US by 2035. Meanwhile, Mexico’s EV adoption will take place at a slower rate, with adoption rates of up to 18% by 2035 being forecast.
The US has long been a global leader in renewable fuel production, alone accounting for just over 50% of renewable diesel and SAF production capacity. The advance of renewable fuel technology and the shift to using other waste products will help propel further growth by increasing feedstock availability. SAF blending commitments within commercial aviation will also help to drive increasing demand for SAFs.
North America is also one of the world’s most active regions for CCUS, accounting for 63% of global capacity in 2021. 207 projects of varying size are in the pipeline and will add over 240mtpa of capacity to the region. Almost 80% of this capacity will be based in the United States.
North America has also seen plenty of activity in the low-carbon hydrogen space, including the announcement of the world’s two largest projects in Canada by Green Hydrogen International. The two projects will facilitate the further growth of the region’s hydrogen market by establishing hydrogen export trade relationships and prompting regional electrolyzer production capacity to rapidly scale.

Key Highlights

• Coal-fired generation will experience a strong decline of -6.1% between 2023 and 2035. Meanwhile, gas will still hold a presence in the region’s future generation mix, with an expected 27% generation share in 2035. Gas will experience a small decline of -1.3% in terms of absolute generation between 2023 and 2035, reflecting how countries in the region are expected to balance decarbonization and energy security concerns.

• Renewables are expected to hold a 55% generation share by 2035, with solar PV and onshore wind accounting for 24% and 17% respectively.

• Within North America, Canada currently has the highest proportion of renewable generation, largely due to its hydropower base, which accounted for 60% of overall generation in 2021. Hydropower will remain the largest source of renewable power, but solar, wind and biopower additions will boost renewable generation to 68% in 2035.

• CO2 storage, power and blue hydrogen remain the dominant facility sectors for CCUS, with these three industries accounting for 66% of CCUS capacity in 2030.

• Air Products and Chemicals Inc is expected to have 6 operational projects by 2030, with one already active and a further 5 in feasibility and construction phases that will come online from 2024 onwards. The company will be the second biggest contributor to low-carbon hydrogen capacity by the end of the decade, accounting for 770ktpa.

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
