Combined Heat & Power Market by Product (Large Scale, Small & Micro Scale), Technology (Fuel Cells, Gas Turbine, Micro CHP), Fuel, Range, Utility, Application - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Combined Heat & Power Market size was estimated at USD 27.65 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 29.28 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 5.96% to reach USD 41.50 billion by 2030.

The combined heat & power (CHP) systems produce electricity and useful thermal energy in an integrated process. CHP installations provide more efficient fuel by capturing and utilizing heat typically wasted during electricity generation, turning it into thermal energy for heating or cooling applications. These systems substantially improve overall efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing excess heat generated during power production and utilizing it for heating. Micro CHP boilers create heat for spaces and hot water and produce electricity for residential use. Modern CHP systems can utilize a variety of fuels, including natural gas, biomass, biogas, coal, oil, and even solar or geothermal energy. Moreover, there is an increasing demand for energy efficiency, a rising emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and supportive government policies that enhance the adoption of CHP systems. However, high initial capital investment costs and lengthy payback periods due to fluctuating fuel prices significantly impede the adoption of combined heat & power systems. In addition, the growing trend toward distributed energy generation has opened up opportunities for smaller-scale CHP installations in commercial buildings, hospitals, universities, and residential complexes across the United States. Technological advancements in CHP system components have improved performance and reduced installation costs, making them more attractive to potential end-users.

Regional Insights

In the Americas region, the combined heat and power (CHP) market has grown steadily over the past few decades owing to the increasing demand for energy-efficiency power system production and growing American policymakers, which enhance the adoption of CHP systems. The United States Department of Energy (DOE) actively supports CHP deployment through various policies, incentives, and research programs to improve system efficiency and reduce emissions in multiple states, including California, Texas, Florida, and Ohio. In January 2023, the Canada Renewable Energy Association announced that Canada has an installed capacity of more than 19 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale wind and solar power, adding more than 1.8 GW of new generation capacity in 2022. Moreover, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promotes using combined heat and power systems more effectively to achieve cost-effective emissions reductions by increasing the region's energy supply efficiency. Distributed generation systems, primarily combined heat and power generators to provide electricity during power outages, quickly gained acceptance in the South American market. Several countries, including Argentina, Chile, and Brazil, are adopting new regulations to allow small generators to attach directly to the distribution grid and sell their surplus power back into the grid. In Argentina, federal law 27424 established a national framework for promoting distributed renewable energy generation connected to the grid. This law aims to set the policies and establish the legal and contractual conditions for generating electric power from renewable sources. In Brazil, the installed capacity of distributed systems has surged to 1.2 GW through 101,761 projects in 2019 and is expected to reach 12 GW by 2027. The regional market players, including General Electric Company, Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., and FuelCell Energy, Inc., focus on acquisition and collaboration activities to provide customers with low greenhouse gas emissions products and technology. The emergence of novel combined heat and power technologies to produce thermal and electric energies to meet the growing energy demand is anticipated to foster the combined heat and power market in the Americas region.
