The oxy-fuel combustion technology market size is projected to reach US$ 1,185.6 million by 2031 from US$ 535.45 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 10.4% in 2023–2031. Raising awareness towards reducing environmental pollution rise in demand for oxy-fuel combustion technology from oil & gas, manufacturing, glass, and thermal engineering industries are among the key factors driving the oxy-fuel combustion technology market.
The oxy-fuel combustion technology market is expected to experience considerable growth during the analyzed timeframe owing to the increasing demand for oxy-fuel combustion technology in developing countries to reduce air pollution and industrial gas emissions. In addition, several initiatives have been taken by local and federal government bodies across the world over the years to minimize hazardous industrial air disposal. For instance, in September 2022, the government of India also announced that they had set a new aim of a 40% reduction in particulate matter (PM) concentration in cities covered under NCAP by 2026, updating their earlier goal of 20 to 30% reduction by 2024. Such government initiatives across the globe are anticipated to drive market growth from 2023 to 2031.
With the mounting population and industrialization, the demand for energy is also rising at the global level. The rise in energy consumption also boosted the need for minimized carbon dioxide emissions. This has resulted in driving the demand for oxy-fuel combustion technology across the globe. Oxy-fuel combustion is one of the most important technologies for capturing carbon dioxide in power plants. As a result, the adoption of this technology has increased, which is propelling the oxyfuel combustion technology market. Also, governments of several countries across the globe are taking various initiatives to reduce air pollution, which is further driving the growth of the market. Further, various industries are adopting the technology to reduce gas emissions, boosting the growth of the oxy-fuel combustion technology market. However, 02 supply and CO2 capture result in substantial energy penalties that must be mitigated through system optimization and the development of innovative processes; this poses one of the major challenges for market growth.
The rising air pollution rate across India, China, Mexico, Malaysia, Russia, South Africa, and other developing countries is influencing the governments and industries across these countries to take initiatives to reduce the same to build a healthy environment for its population. According to the World Bank, nearly 33,000 deaths are recorded in Mexico each year due to air pollution. Industrial air pollution is responsible for nearly 20,000 of these deaths, which occur primarily in towns and cities. In Mexico, air pollution is a serious problem, accounting for nearly one-fifth of all deaths (5.9%).
World Health Organization (WHO) set a limit of 10 micrograms (thousandth of a gram) of PM2.5 per cubic meter of air (10g/m3) for average outdoor ambient air pollution. In Mexico City, however, average concentrations are around 25 g/m. In addition, in 2019, India recorded around 1.67 million deaths due to air pollution, which is 18% of the total deaths in the country. Thus, to minimize the PM-2.5 and other industrial gas emissions to reduce their environmental effects and impact on human health, the demand for oxy-fuel combustion technology is expected to increase during the forecast period.
Air pollution awareness programs or initiatives in developed and developing economies have grown over the years to combat the increasing climatic changes due to the increasing greenhouse gas emissions. WHO, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and The World Economic Forum are among the international government entities working on the awareness programs. Similarly, various non-profit private organizations are taking initiatives to educate industries regarding the adverse effects of harmful or toxic gases emitted by them in the environment. These organizations include The Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), The Union of Concerned Scientists, and Earthjustice. A few awareness programs are listed below:
Thus, the growing initiatives by various organizations or entities are influencing the end-use industries for adopting technologies that will minimize the emission of hazardous gas into the environment, which is expected to boost the growth of the global oxy-fuel combustion technology market in the coming years.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the oxy-fuel combustion technology market analysis are offerings and the end-use industry.
The geographic scope of the oxy-fuel combustion technology market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South America.
North America will dominate the oxy-fuel combustion technology market in 2023. The North America region includes the US, Canada, and Mexico. The US and Canada are highly dependent on fossil fuels to fulfill their primary energy demand. Hence, the emission of harmful gases in these countries is high. The largest resource of greenhouse gas emissions in the US is human activities that include burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation. As per the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), in 2022, the total greenhouse gas emission in the US was 6,343.2 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Different economic sectors responsible for greenhouse gas emissions are transportation, holding 28% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2022; electricity production, accounting for 25%; industry, accounting for 23%; commercial and residential sectors holding 13%; and agriculture, accounting for 10%. Thus, the rapid growth in the above sectors will increase the harmful gas emissions in North America during the forecast period, which in turn is expected to raise the demand for oxy-fuel combustion technology in the future.
