Market Overview
Increasing recognition of natural gas as a clean and dependable fuel, stricter emission requirements for hazardous pollutants, favorable government regulations, policies, and initiatives are the factors driving the gas generator market.In contrast to other fuels such as diesel or gasoline, a gas generator operates on natural gas. Power generation of this fuel type tends to be more cost-effective and efficient than other generators.
An internal combustion engine in a gas generator injects a combination of fuel and air into a combustion chamber. The compression of fuel and air, paired with a spark plug, ignites the fuel, which powers a crankshaft and spins the generator's rotor, creating an electrical current. Depending on the generator's size, the electric current can charge batteries, power appliances, or even run vast pieces of machinery.
Gas generators may be found in various commercial and industrial settings, including resorts, malls, high-rise office buildings, universities, data centers, and hospitals. Industrial plants, refineries, coal mines, agriculture and food processing, wastewater treatment plants, and greenhouse facilities utilize natural gas generators.
Natural gas generators have the advantage of running more quietly and smoothly than other types of generators. While not entirely renewable, natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fossil fuels and less expensive.
Natural gas generators benefit from not emitting a solid odor, common in generators powered by oil or diesel.
Market developments and trends
