The combined heat and power market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.17 billion in 2024 to $31.01 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to energy efficiency goals, industrial cogeneration, environmental regulations, increased combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) applications, district heating and cooling projects, waste heat recovery, decentralization of energy generation, increased awareness of CHP benefits.
The combined heat and power market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.61 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to transition to low-carbon energy systems, smart grid integration, resilience planning in critical infrastructure, urbanization and district energy networks, biogas and biomass CHP projects, support for micro-CHP in residential settings. Major trends in the forecast period include energy-as-a-service (EaaS) models, market consolidation and partnerships, remote monitoring and control, technological advancements, grid resilience and reliability, collaboration between utilities and CHP providers, advancements in fuel cell CHP systems.
The increasing adoption of biomass power is driving the growth of the combined heat and power (CHP) market. Biomass power refers to the energy produced from living or once-living organisms, such as plants, where the energy can be harnessed through burning to create heat or by converting it into electricity. Biomass plays a crucial role in CHP systems by generating energy through biomass gasification and contributing to the development of micro-CHPs and hydrogen energy systems, which utilize biomass feedstock to produce fuel cells. For example, in April 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a U.S. agency that collects and disseminates energy data, projected that renewables would account for 24% of electricity generation in the U.S., increasing to 25% by 2025. Within this renewable energy sector, biomass is expected to contribute approximately 2.27% to renewable electricity generation in 2024. Thus, the growing adoption of biomass power is anticipated to significantly boost the growth of the combined heat and power market in the coming years.
The rising emphasis on energy efficiency is anticipated to drive the growth of the combined heat and power (CHP) market in the future. Energy efficiency involves utilizing energy resources effectively to accomplish specific tasks or achieve desired outcomes while minimizing energy waste. Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, is a process that generates electricity and captures waste heat to provide both electrical and thermal energy. CHP systems are significantly more efficient than traditional power generation methods. For instance, in June 2023, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, highlighted that global improvements in energy efficiency must double by 2030 to meet climate objectives. The IEA emphasizes the need for an annual progress rate exceeding 4% to stay within the 1.5°C global warming threshold. Additionally, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating rapidly, with global EV sales reaching 2.3 million units in the first quarter of 2023, representing a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2022. This growth underscores the rising trend towards energy-efficient, digitally-enabled technologies that are essential for facilitating sustainable energy transitions. Therefore, the increase in energy efficiency is propelling the growth of the combined heat and power market.
