The combined heat and power market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $43.59 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing deployment of renewable-fueled chp plants, rising focus on decarbonization of industrial processes, growth in waste-to-energy and biomass cogeneration, adoption of advanced monitoring and control systems, expansion of residential and utility-scale cogeneration projects. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of natural gas-fired chp systems, increasing implementation of biomass-based chp solutions, expansion of combined cycle and gas turbine technologies, growing deployment of waste heat recovery systems, advancements in high-efficiency steam turbine and reciprocating engine chp units.
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.
Major companies operating in the combined heat and power market are developing innovative technological solutions, such as the Bloom Energy Server, to enhance profitability within the market. The Bloom Energy Server is a fuel cell-based power generation system. For instance, in February 2023, Bloom Energy, a US-based green energy company, launched the Bloom Energy Server. This advanced technology is capable of efficiently generating electricity to meet a wide range of energy demands while maintaining a compact and modular footprint. The Bloom Energy Server provides clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy solutions by delivering onsite power that is consistent, resilient, and dependable. Due to its scalability and flexibility in accommodating varying energy requirements, the platform can be deployed across diverse locations and industries. The technology is fuel-flexible, enabling energy generation from natural gas, blended hydrogen, biogas, and hydrogen, and is based on solid oxide technology that operates at high temperatures.
In November 2024, Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd., a Japan-based industrial and energy systems company, acquired TEDOM a.s. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Yanmar aims to expand its presence in the combined heat and power (CHP) market by incorporating TEDOM’s expertise in manufacturing and servicing cogeneration systems into its global energy solutions portfolio. TEDOM a.s. is a Czech Republic-based company that develops, manufactures, and sells combined heat and power (CHP) units and delivers related energy services worldwide.
