Top 10 Leading Companies of Bio CHP Industry - New Electrical Engineering Projects to Boost Market Growth

The generation of new electrical engineering projects that are powered with different fuel sources across developing areas is expected to present lucrative opportunities that will harness the potential of technology and increase the market share of bio CHP. According to a report by Fortune Business Insights™, the market for bio CHP was valued at USD 2.55 billion in 2021 and is set to reach USD 3.54 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 4.8% over the forecast period. There is substantial penetration of technology across the global market to reduce dependence on coal power plants and introduce clean energies to curb pollution. Moreover, several countries are adopting biomass power and distinct heating capacities.

COVID-19 Pandemic to Influence Market Growth Due to Restrictions in Production

The outbreak of COVID-19 impacted all the industries globally, wherein countries implemented restrictions that led to halting of industrial operations, supply chain framework, and labor shortage. Shutting down of industrial operations, lockdowns, and social distancing affected the global market growth as numerous Bio CHP companies faced severe problems due to deficit in overall energy demands and delays in ongoing projects.

The market is also expected to experience growth, owing to the latest industrial development. In February 2020, Enexor BioEnergy launched its novel bio cogeneration technology known as Bio-200 to provide effective energy by utilizing diverse types of feedstocks such as agricultural waste, wood chips, food & animal waste, and others. The new system is designed for small-scale applications with 75 kW electric power and 125 kW thermal energy by providing clean and affordable energy.
