North American Cogeneration Market

Description:

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled North American Cogeneration Market identifies drivers, restraints, and main industry challenges for the cogeneration market along with the price, unit and installed capacity forecasts. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following technologies: gas turbines, steam turbines, reciprocating engines, microturbines, and fuel cells.

Stricter Environmental Standards Promote the Use of Cogeneration

The North American power industry is all set for a change in power generation methods to combat its current challenges of increased electricity demand, aging equipment, and more stringent environmental standards. Increased use of cogeneration or combined heat and power production (CHP) will go a long way in alleviating most of these issues, as its environment-friendly profile and higher efficiencies make it attractive to industry stakeholders. Governments are rolling out numerous incentives, subsidies, favorable emissions legislation, and loan programs to promote CHP system installation. The market has also received a boost from the increasing prices of most fuels used in generating electricity, which, in turn, is inflating the costs of production and electricity. This situation has spawned a need for a technology that offers greater efficiency of fuel conversion. "The higher efficiencies and potential cost savings linked to cogeneration equipment encourage greater long-term investment in the market," says the analyst of this research.

However, the volatility in the price of natural gas and the resulting poor spark spread has caused several end users to withhold investments in cogeneration equipment such as gas turbines until a more favorable politico-economic climate is achieved. To offset this influence of price fluctuations, vendors can invest in R&D to develop cogeneration systems that can use biomass as the fuel without compromising efficiency levels. "In doing so, the vendors can enter the markets where there are plenty of biogas supply, high power demand, and government incentives," notes the analyst.

Technological advances in this market has allowed CHP equipment – depending on its size and design – to provide greater flexibility to a facility by switching fuels, shifting loads, and shaving peaks. If the facility has access to a reliable renewable or waste energy source, the system can further shield it from the fallout of price uncertainty. "Owing to these significant benefits, the North American cogeneration market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.7 percent from 2008 to 2015, reaching 134,022 MW in 2015, in terms of installed capacity," observes the analyst. "The gas turbine segment is expected to present higher growth compared to the steam turbine segment, as restrictions are likely to be imposed by federal global warming legislation."
