Market Synopsis

A gas engine is a reciprocating internal combustion engine, which runs on gaseous fuels such as natural gas, biogas, landfill gas, and syngas. Gas engines are highly reliable and provide efficiency with low operating and maintenance costs. These gas engines are used for various applications, including power generation, cogeneration, trigeneration, mechanical drive, and others.

The factors driving the growth of the gas engines market are the shift towards gas-fired power generation and the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions. According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019, global natural gas production grew from 3,677.7 billion cubic meters (BCM) in 2017 to 3,867.9 BCM in 2018. Moreover, as per the data from the report mentioned above, the demand for natural gas as a fuel generation source increased from 5952.8 Terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2017 to 6182.8 TWh in 2018. The growth in the production of natural gas can be attributed to the increasing use of natural gas for power generation. Gas engines used in gas-fired power plants supply power to drive the generator to produce electricity and supply power to various utilities and end-use industries. Gas engines used in power plants also provide additional benefits such as quick start-up, high operational rate, and flexible load efficiency as per the power demand. Such factors are expected to increase the establishment of gas-fired power plants. Many countries across the world, including India and Germany, are focusing on the development of gas-fired power generation plants. In India, as per the National Electricity Plan, 2018, the Indian government is focusing on developing gas-fired power plants. For instance, it plans to construct 38 MW powered gas-based power plants and 34.88 MW gas-based power plants in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, respectively.

The rising awareness regarding greenhouse gas emissions and the introduction of environmental regulations, such as the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement, is expected to increase the focus on reducing carbon emissions worldwide. Several major countries, including India, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Japan, and China, aims to reduce the carbon emission to limit the impact of pollution and global warming on the environment. For instance, as per the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), Canada aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30% below the level of 2005 by 2030. As per Brazil’s INDC report 2015, by 2025, Brazil committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions 37% below the level of 2005. Moreover, Saudi Arabia aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by 130 million tons below business as usual (BAU) by 2030 from that of 2005. As per the Japan ministry of economy, trade and industry (METI), the country has set up a target to reduce CO2 emissions by 21.9% by 2030. Such factors lead to an increase in the installation of gas engines in power plants as these engines produce lower carbon emissions compared to coal and diesel engines. Stakeholders in the power generation industry aim to reduce their carbon footprint by increasing the share of various energy sources such as solar, wind, biogas, and natural gas in the total power generation mix. Gas-powered engines used in power plants emit lower amounts of carbon dioxide compared to thermal power plants. Therefore, the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions is expected to drive the growth of the global gas engines market during the forecast period.
