Driver
The power consumption in developing nations like China, India, Brazil, and Mexico has witnessed a significant surge in recent years, primarily due to robust economic growth, a thriving manufacturing industry, and an expanding population. As emerging economies continue to evolve and living standards improve, the demand for energy consumption is on the rise. For example, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the global energy consumption is expected to increase by approximately 50% by 2050, with a 65% rise in total energy consumption for residential and commercial buildings, from 91 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) to 139 quadrillion Btu. Consequently, various countries worldwide are boosting their power generation capacity to keep up with the growing electricity demand.
Restraint
Geopolitical uncertainties are affecting the supply and cost of natural gas, with major exporters including Australia, Qatar, Norway, Russia, and the United States. The ongoing conflict between Russia and the European Union (EU) over Ukraine has raised concerns about potential disruptions to Russia's gas supply, which accounts for a significant portion of the EU's imports. This has led to a reduction in the amount of natural gas supplied to the EU by Russia, despite increasing demand. The Nord Stream 2 pipeline project, which is scheduled to begin operations in June 2022, is also facing potential delays due to geopolitical tensions and threats of sanctions by the United States. Additionally, political tensions between the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and several European countries could have a significant impact on the economies of those countries.
Trend
The gas engines market has identified a significant trend towards the increasing preference for gas-fired power plants, which have become the second largest source of global electricity generation after coal. This was evident in 2020, with 23.4% of the world's electricity generation output of 6268.1 TWh coming from natural gas-fired power plants. The reason behind the growing deployment of gas-based engines is largely attributed to the need for decarbonization in the electricity sector, leading to the inclusion of more gas-to-power projects in the global power production mix. The advantages of gas-fired power plants, including lower carbon emissions and higher cost-effectiveness compared to coal-fired power plants, have made them a more viable option.
