Market Overview
As stated by a report by P&S Intelligence, the gas engines market value will grow at a rate of 4% till the end of this decade to touch USD 6,334.7 million by 2030.
As economies shift in the direction of renewable energy and other conventional but clean energy solutions, natural gas is extensively put to use as a temporary fuel, for meeting energy requirements.
Power plants powered by natural gas are low-cost and easy to construct. Compared to oil and coal-fired plants, they make negligible CO, CO2, SO2, and NOx.
Hence, when natural gas is used over coal, the air quality improves. Moreover, these amenities have higher thermodynamical efficiencies. Consequently, the requirement for all gaseous fuels, for example landfill gas, biogas, and natural gas, has gone up.
Principally, the increasing requirement for electricity in both commercial and residential settings will power the industry, by the end of this decade.
Key Insights
The above 15 MW category will have the highest growth rate, of about 5%, over this decade. Marine sector and utilities make use of above-15-MW engines. By delivering a reliable and cleaner substitute to engines powered by coal and diesel, those consuming natural gas are crucial in supporting major economies in advancing a more environment-friendly system.
The mechanical drive category will grow the fastest, with a rate of 4%.
Gas engines are employed for directly running mechanical equipment, such as compressors, pumps, chillers, blowers, and other rotating apparatus. This is the reason the oil & gas and manufacturing industries use them widely. Within the oil & gas sector, chiefly LNG plants, gas engines power compressors throughout the gas gathering, dispensing, and transporting processes.
The power generation category is the market leader. Gas-based engines are important in the generation of power, as LPG, CNG and biogas are increasingly put to use in the powering of the turbines. The considerable increase in the electricity requirement because of the growing populace and load shedding is powering the industry.
Furthermore, the growing funding by governments in power generation an emphasis on the expansion of the related infrastructure is powering the requirement for these kinds of energy conversion systems.
The translation of coal-based plants to gas-based ones, under the initiatives for replacing the old power generation infrastructure, and the increasing requirement for efficient and clean fuels are powering the expansion of the APAC.
Europe will grow the fastest because of the rising requirement for gas-based engines in industries.
Furthermore, Europe is a prime biogas producer, which is why the technological progressions in gas engines will bring new opportunities.
