Market Growth Factors

Technological Advances in Gas Engines
The market for gas engines is characterized by a rapid advancement in technology, which manifests in improved efficiencies, longer life spans, and reduced emissions of gases. Manufacturers are crafting engines that will deal with very high performance and meeting the rigorous environmental regulations. By virtue of these innovations, lean-burn technology and sophisticated control schemes, fuel consumption is presently greatly enhanced while greenhouse gas emissions have been significantly reduced. In the European countries, especially where strict emission standards form an incentive for adopting cleaner energy solutions, all these advancements become even more critical.

Need For Increasing Decentralized Energy Systems Demand
The increased demand for reliable sources of energy and efficiencies in the use of energy have raised the stakes in the strategy towards decentralized energy systems where gas engines are central. Gas engines are used widely in combined heat and power (CHP) systems, where electrical as well as thermal energy from gas-fired sources is used for industrial and residential applications. This is predominant in urban settings where energy demand is high and is accompanied by issues of grid unreliability. Gas engines offer the best choice for decentralized power generation due to their flexibility and scalability.

World Shift Towards Sustainable Energy
The global trend toward sustainable energy sources is a strong push factor for the gas engine market. Investment from every corner of the globe towards cleaner energy technology is aimed at reducing carbon footprint and climate change mitigation. As natural gas and renewable fuels such as biogas come by virtue of gas engines, this technology finds greater acceptance as a sustainable energy solution. Such a change in trend is also made better by the governments in terms of policy encouragement and incentives to adopt low-emission technologies.
