SUMMARY
Research Overview
Generating Electricity- The Environment Friendly Way
European Governments are under pressure to reduce carbon emissions ever since
the Kyoto protocols came into effect. There is an increasing drive in Europe
to promote environment friendly technology for generating electricity which is
also reliable. The Micro Combined Heat and Power system is one such technology
which has the potential to save 0.3 tons of Carbon per household. Micro CHP
systems are targeting the domestic boiler segment of Europe. This Frost &
Sullivan Research Service analyzes the European market for Micro CHP and the
expected time frame for the commercialization of the different Micro CHP
products that are being developed across Europe. The challenges that the
market faces have discussed and strategic recommendations to overcome these
have been suggested. The market prospects for Micro CHP in different
geographic regions of Europe have also been discussed.
A Boiler Which Pays for Itself
According to the Frost & Sullivan analyst, "Micro CHP is expected to be the
next generation of boilers. With overall efficiency exceeding 90%, Micro CHP
and other high efficiency devices could prove economical to end users in
Europe." The Micro CHP unit generates electricity in addition to space and
water heating. The excess electricity not used by the household is exported to
the grid for a fee and this amount ensures that the unit pays back for itself
in 3-5 years depending on the size of the unit.
Large Target Market Size Promises High Revenues
Participants in the field trials are astonished at the technology. End-users
are excited at the prospect of having a small power station in their homes.
Decentralized generation is increasingly becoming popular in Europe. Utilities
are also interested in Micro CHP to improve their share of eco-friendly
electricity. Micro CHP also presents opportunities for boiler manufacturers
and boiler installers as they are already familiar with producing and selling
boilers.The market has shown consistent growth for the past five years. With
more investment being made, more products and more manufacturers can be
expected in this market. New markets are being tapped and new applications are
being developed for Micro CHP units.
