Micro Combined Heat & Power Market to Observe Strong Development by 2025
Combined
heat and power (CHP) systems generate electricity along with
capturing the usable heat produced during the process. Micro combined
heat & power (MCHP) systems run on renewable and non-renewable
fuels such as coal, natural gas, biomass, wood, waste heat, and oil.
Heat produced during electricity generation is captured and used for
heating applications, thus increasing the overall efficiency of the
system by avoiding heat loss. Micro-cogeneration, also called micro
combined heat and power or residential cogeneration, is an emerging
technology with the potential to provide energy-efficient systems and
environmental benefits by minimizing energy loss and greenhouse gas
emission (GGE). Wide-scale adoption of MCHP can meet a number of
energy and social policy aims such as reduction of greenhouse gas
emission from energy supply, increase in decentralization of energy
supply, improvement in energy security, and energy loss from
electricity transmission and distribution networks, and possible
decrease in energy cost to consumers.

Report Overview @
Micro-cogeneration
systems have the potential to reduce energy demands of the
residential sector for space heating, domestic hot water heating, and
electricity. Furthermore, reduction in greenhouse gas emission and
curtailment in reliance on central electricity generation,
transmission, and distribution systems are the possible benefits. In
this article, a comparison has been made between MCHP technology and
other technologies such as prime mover, electrical and thermal power,
efficiency and emissions.
MCHPs
are used as heating and electricity generation systems in residential
and small commercial buildings and are ideal for buildings that have
heat sinks such as swimming pools. MCHPs are primarily used in
household and wastewater treatment, small office buildings, colleges,
universities, and military bases. The micro combined heat & power
market is in its nascent stage in majority of the regions across the
world; however, adoption of MCHP in the emerging markets is expected
to grow at a significant rate in the next few years. Factors
contributing to its growth are supportive government policies, lower
electricity costs, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and availability
of technologically advanced engines.
Government
institutions across the globe are introducing new policies and
providing feed-in-tariffs to boost the usage of CHP systems. Rise in
awareness regarding energy efficiency and benefits of CHPs are
expected to boost the market for micro, small-scale, and large-scale
CHP systems. Additionally, rise in focus toward renewable energy
sources is anticipated to surge the consumption of fuels such as
wood, biomass, and waste heat in MCHP systems. Thus, increase in
price of energy, coupled with strict regulations regarding energy
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, has resulted in a surge in
demand for MCHP systems. The best economics for CHP systems is found
in cold climates, wherein there exist high electricity rates, low
natural gas prices, and continuous requirement of heat. The only
restraint to the micro combined heat & power market is the
limitations in its usage in industrial applications.
Based
on technology, the micro combined heat & power market can be
segregated into rankine cycle engine, stirling engine, proton
exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), internal combustion engine
(ICE), and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). In terms application, the
micro combined heat & power market can be segmented into
residential and commercial. Requirement of space heating in cold
regions and space cooling in hot regions is projected to drive the
market for CHP systems for residential and commercial applications.
Europe
is expected to dominate the MCHP installation market owing to the
strong CHP network and the awareness regarding energy efficiency of
MCHP systems. Asia Pacific is estimated to become a rapidly
developing market for MCHP in the near future. North America and Asia
Pacific offer numerous opportunities for the growth of the CHP
installation market as the demand for energy-efficient technologies
is high in these regions. Usage of MCHP in residential applications
in the U.S. is not very popular at present, and therefore, the market
holds an insignificant share. However, the micro combined heat &
power market is projected to expand at a faster pace than the
large-scale CHP systems in the next few years.
SAsia
Pacific is the next leading global market regarding investments in
MCHPs, following Europe. In Asia Pacific, China, Japan, South Korea,
and Taiwan are the major markets for micro combined heat & power.
China, the leading CHP market, is followed by Japan and South Korea.
Rapid economic growth of countries such as China and India is
expected to attract further investments in MCHP, thereby boosting the
micro combined heat & power market in the region. In Japan, there
is high demand for micro-scale CHP systems due to their usage in
residential applications.
