NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
http://www.reportlinker.com/p01098423/Natural-Gas-Generator-Sets---Distributed-Reciprocating-Engines-for-Portable-Standby-Prime-Continuous-and-Cogeneration-Applications.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Oil_and_Gas_energy
Natural gas generator sets (gensets) are distributed power generation units that use reciprocating internal combustion engines to produce useable energy from gaseous fuels. Distributed generation has the advantage of going online more quickly than traditional large centralized power stations, reducing demand pressure on the electrical grid, and reducing inefficiencies that are common in centralized power generation, transmission, and distribution. As a source of emergency standby, prime, or continuous power, natural gas-fueled gensets are poised for rapid growth, particularly in markets where inexpensive natural gas is widely available.
The number of specialized segments within the genset market spanning power classes, applications, and end-use customers offers a rich ecosystem of opportunities for market participants. As a whole, the market has experienced steady growth, but a boom in unconventional gas resources and tightening regulations targeting stationary generator emissions point to accelerated growth in the next decade. Pike Research forecasts that natural gas genset installations will reach 13.2 gigawatts per year by 2018 and produce nearly $45 billion in cumulative revenue between 2013 and 2018.
This Pike Research report analyzes the global market potential for natural gas gensets from less than 15 kW to 6 MW for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The study includes in-depth assessments of global regions for capacity installations, an analysis of global gas resource development, and profiles of the key industry players engaged in this market. Regional market forecasts are provided through 2018 for annual installations and revenue, segmented by power class as well as for power generation and CHP applications.
Key Questions Addressed:
• How will CHP adoption affect the natural gas genset market?
• How will the boom in unconventional gas resources and tightening emissions regulations for stationary generators affect the natural gas genset market?
• How are emissions regulations affecting demand for diesel and natural gas gensets?
• Which power classes of gensets are poised for the strongest growth?
• How do natural disasters affect demand for standby generators?
• How will the production of biogas and landfill gas affect the natural gas genset market?
