Examples of our dynamic models

Energy systems model

Models energy systems as an interconnected whole rather than a set of parallel markets. Where commodity-specific models treat oil, gas, power and low-carbon fuels in isolation, the energy systems model captures how a shift in one vector ripples through the others. A gas supply disruption tightens power markets. A carbon price change alters fuel switching across sectors. A demand shock in one region redistributes trade flows globally. This dynamic interdependency is what makes the model the foundation for system-level advisory questions that single-commodity analysis cannot answer.

Cross-vector impact analysis across oil, gas, power, etc.
Fuel switching dynamics under different price, policy and technology assumptions
Energy system responses to supply shocks, policy changes and demand shifts
Investment requirement analysis across the full energy system
Emissions trajectories implied by different system-level pathways

Case Study

Navigating clean fuel in complex shipping markets with Höegh Autoliners

Background

As regulatory timelines shifted and alternative fuels matured at different rates, Höegh Autoliners needed independent analysis to support a long-term fleet investment decision.

Solution

Rystad Energy Advisory conducted a structured assessment of alternative fuel economics, bunkering infrastructure maturity and long-horizon price scenarios, calibrated to Höegh's specific operating context.

Key Results

The deliverable gave Höegh the confidence to move. The company committed to ammonia dual-fuel engines for the final four vessels in its order book, among the first operators in its segment to do so.
