The energy scenario is changing throughout the world and governments globally, are making an attempt to make cost-effective use of existing resources along with, enabling the emergence of a low carbon economy. Micro CHP is a cost-effective and flexible low carbon solution that generates heat and electricity to potentially achieve lower carbon emissions as compared to any other conventional heating systems and grid electricity. This system can be used for both residential and commercial purposes. Domestic micro CHP is mainly powered by gas or LPG.
The major factors driving the micro CHP market include the need for low carbon emission technologies, its easy installation, and cost-effective performance over other low carbon emission technologies, and reducing electricity expenses along with, being an ideal product for boiler replacement.
Currently, residential micro CHP represents 76% of the total market share in terms of global micro CHP sales, followed by commercial at 24%. Among various regions of the micro CHP market, Asia-Pacific remains the dominant market.
Important technologies of micro CHP systems are as follows:
• Stirling engine
• Organic Rankine cycle engine
• Internal combustion engine
• Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC)
• Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC)
The increase in energy demand and the depletion of conventional sources of energy have raised the importance of renewable sources. Currently, governments are allocating funds to various leading micro CHP companies to incentivize the development of new technologies. Recently, various new small size heat engines have been developed to facilitate the progress to micro-CHP systems. A micro CHP system reduces demands on transmission and distribution systems, enhances the availability of electricity and heat for consumers, and encourages consumer engagement with energy efficient technologies, among others.
Previously, the internal combustion engine technology held the major market share as most micro CHP systems installed were based on this technology. However, currently, SOFC and PEMFC hold the maximum market share.
