North America Natural Gas Engine Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

North America Natural Gas Engine Market Analysis and Size  

Natural gas engine is used for power generation by using natural gas. The gas engine can be operated with several types of gases such as natural gas, mine gas, shale gas, landfill gas, biogas, landfill gas syngas, and sewage gas. Natural gas can even be used at the time of emergency. Along with this, transportable generators have also been considered as one of the most operative as well as reasonable fuels amongst the variety of non-renewable power generation resources. Natural gas engine can be implemented in various sectors such as waste water treatment (WWT) plants, coal mines, food processing, agricultural processing and green houses. They are basically considered for maximum thermal and electrical efficiency, low operational and service cost, and high availability and reliability. A natural gas includes compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG).

North America Natural Gas Engine Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Natural gas engines generate clean and efficient power by burning natural gas as fuel instead of diesel or gasoline which in turn results in lower emissions of harmful pollutants such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides. Natural gas engines have higher thermal efficiencies leading to better fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.        

North America Natural Gas Engine Market​​​​​​​ Dynamics

Drivers

• Rising Clean and Efficient Technology for Power Generation

Natural gas has been described as “clean burning” since it produces very less amount of the undesirable by-products per unit energy in comparison to petroleum or coal. The amount of the combustion units of carbon dioxide released from the burning of natural gas in any sector is almost half of the coal. The natural gas usage has been increased in various formations due to the increasing environmental impacts that have maximized the areas of applications. The Environmental Protection Agency’s considered the natural gas as the cleanest source of energy. Along with this, the natural gas is very much energy efficient as it produces more energy in the gas fired plant by the usage of turbines as compared to the other sources of energy such as coal and many others.

• Growing Environmental Concerns

The environmental concerns are increasing in the economy due to the increase in rate of the environmental pollution due to various industrial as well as commercial activities going on all over the world. With the growing modernization, the manufacturers as well as the government is focusing on the usage of the energy in the activities which do not affect the environment. The manufacturers are making huge amount of the investments in the clean energy along with this all the business efforts towards the cutting down of the rate of the emission of the carbon which generates through the harmful fossil fuels. The cutting of the speeding up rate of the carbon emission is possible only through the transition of the harmful fossil fuels into the clean energy of fossil fuel.

• Increased Adoption Across Commercial Sector

The increasing usage of the natural gas engine in the commercial sectors leads to the formation of the proper sustainable balance in the economy and along with this minimized the usage of the other harmful sources of energy such as coal and several others which depletes the ozone layer and affects the environment. Due to this, the consumption of the natural gas engine is increasing in various economies which are mainly heading towards the sustainable development.

Opportunities

Shift Towards Gas Fired Power Plants

Furthermore, shift towards gas fired plants, technological advancements leading to efficient power generation will extend profitable opportunities for the market players in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Additionally, rise in the demand of gas engine in marine industry and increasing automotive sector growth will further expand the market's growth rate in the future. 

Restraint/Challenge

Limited Reserves Of The Natural Gas

One of the major challenges faced by the users of natural gas engine is the limited reserves of the natural gas. As the natural gas engine helps in the sustainability of the environment as compared to the usage of any other kinds of resources that are used to generate energy. As other gases, the natural resources are free from the undesired components which include the acidic gases and several other things that impact the weather because of the depletion of the ozone layer.

With the times, the natural gas is becoming the side lines of development of the industries. The natural gas is used widely in various areas. As per the usage, the resources are kept in reserves in order to fulfil the demand of various sectors in a proper manner. But due to the limited reserves, the demand of each and every sector is not being fulfilled properly. The limited reserves of the natural gas may impact the demand of the natural gas engine in the global market.
