Combined heat and power (CHP) is an efficient and clean method in generating electric power and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source. Due to the rise in demand for electricity across the globe, coupled with the increase in concerns for environmental protection, has increased the demand for combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration technology. Instead of purchasing electricity from the distribution grid and burning fuel in an on-site furnace or boiler to produce thermal energy, an industrial or commercial facility can use CHP to provide both energy services in one energy-efficient step. Cost-effective performance coupled with easy installation will grow the demand over other technologies including boilers. The high maintenance & installation costs incurred are hampering the market. Also, complicated metering arrangements and network connections will hinder the growth for Global Combined Heat and Power Market (CHP).
The report includes the analysis of impact of COVID-19 lock-down on the revenue of market leaders, followers, and disrupters. Since lock down was implemented differently in different regions and countries, impact of same is also different by regions and segments. The report has covered the current short term and long term impact on the market, same will help decision makers to prepare the outline for short term and long term strategies for companies by region.
In terms of fuel, natural gas is anticipated to dominate the global Combined Heat and Power Market (CHP) in 2017, owing to its affordable price and low emission rate. As per, the U.S. Department of Energy, a share of natural gas production may expand to 56% by 2040 from 2012 level. Limited land availability for incinerators and landfills along with rising in consumer awareness towards waste management will further stimulate the biomass CHP market.
Based on Technology, gas turbine Combined Heat and Power held the highest market share driven by high energy efficiency coupled with low fuel consumption. Replacement of existing coal-fired power stations with modern gas-fired systems to reduce carbon footprint will positively influence the industry landscape. In 2017, two coal-fired units of Appalachian Power's Clinch River Power Plant in the U.S. were converted to natural gas.
On the basis of End-user, industrial combined heat and power market size is set to exceed USD 41.79 billion by 2029. Growing development of small-scale industrial sector coupled with high electricity demand will positively influence the business growth. The rise in demand for reliable and cost-effective technologies along with measures towards carbon footprints will propel the commercial CHP market.
In terms of region, North America held the highest market share in 2025. The market growth is coupled with low natural gas prices together with growing demand for high-efficiency power plants that will fuel North America combined heat and power market. Retrofitting and replacement of existing power stations with efficient systems may further boost the product demand. In 2014, Capstone Turbine installed 470 CHP systems in the country, with an aim to reduce carbon footprint.
Some of the key players in the Global Combined Heat and Power Market (CHP) are MAN Diesel & Turbo, ENER-G Rudox, Caterpillar, Mitsubishi, General Electric, and Kawasaki.
