Energy Industry Consulting
Who we are
Kline Energy is an expert research and advisory group. We are passionate about B2B insights and are proud of our specialist positioning.
While we are open to talk to our clients about anything, we choose not to spread ourselves too thin, focusing instead on specific value chains where we can be best-in-class and the partner of choice.
We have global reach and coverage, but unlike our larger peers, we go out of our way to provide a flexible, attentive and personalised service to ensure that our insights and contributions answer the right questions in a relevant way for each client’s circumstances.
We are firmly “in the arena”: not as neutral observers, but as involved participants in the industries we serve, actively contributing to international trade bodies, associations, and communities.
Where We Play
End-to-end coverage of the Lubricants value chain
- Feedstocks (petrochemicals, bio-based, re-refining)
- Base oils (all groups)

- Fuel and lubricant additives
Industrial applications
Industrial applications which serve as end-uses for many fluids and lubricants as well as specialties.

- Industrial applications (from Manufacturing to Mining, Construction, Metals and many other niche areas like Textiles and Food manufacturing)
- Power generation
Digital Infrastructure and the specialty products that support its growth
- Immersion Coolants for data centers, battery storage and specialty molecules which will be essential to secure a sustainable digital infrastructure (both in terms of environment and supply security)
Sector Decarbonisation and Energy Transition => Emergent + Evolving value chains
