Anticipating Change
in Energy Markets

Delivering actionable insights, quality data products, and leading energy analysis since 1984.

Since 1984, ESAI has been helping industry leaders and governments navigate critical transitions in the liquids energy markets. The analytical team, trained in quantitative analysis, economics, political science, finance, and industrial policy, tracks supply, demand, price, regulation, and policy to provide timely insight on developments impacting the legacy and emerging energy markets.

Our analysts collect known data and track new data sources to shed as much light as possible on the energy markets. These data are integrated with analysis of regulatory and policy developments to project how markets will unfold.

ESAI’s expertise has historically encompassed petroleum and natural gas liquids, but we have also applied our approach to renewable fuels, credit markets, and vehicle technologies in order to project the pace and scale of the handoff between legacy and emerging markets in transportation and industry.
