The global cogeneration equipment market exhibited strong growth during 2015-2020. Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) equipment is used to simultaneously produce thermal and electrical energy from a single fuel source. These fuel sources can be natural gas, biomass, wood, coal, waste heat and oil. Cogeneration equipment includes gas and steam turbines, electric generators and heat recovery systems that provide power to equipment and machines such as fans, pumps, refrigerators, dehumidifiers and steamers. This equipment works more efficiently and has a smaller carbon footprint than other conventional systems. For instance, in a rice mill that requires mechanical energy for milling and heat for paddy drying, a cogeneration system can use waste products such as rice husk in place of fuel to produce the needed energy output simultaneously, thereby significantly reducing fuel consumption. Looking forward, the publisher expects the global cogeneration equipment market to grow at a CAGR of 9.20% during 2021-2026.
