Research and Markets: European Cogeneration Market: Europe is well placed to rapidly expand cogeneration by 2020

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e31700/european_cogenerat) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "European Cogeneration Market" to their offering.

Despite the high investment cost of cogeneration equipment and low payback periods of up to 5-7 years, Europe is quite well placed to rapidly expand cogeneration by 2020. The region is making gradual, though small, developments across technology, skills and supply chain to meet its targets of attaining energy efficiency through cogeneration. The European cogenration market will provide attractive growth prospects for all of the core technologies considered in this study (gas turbines, steam turbines, engines, electric generators, heat recovery steam generators and fuel-fired boilers) throughout the forecast period.

Report Highlights:

• Favourable Policies and Government Support Encourage Long-term Investments in the European Cogeneration Market
• The European Commissions' Ambitious Environmental Targets Make a Robust Case for the Technology
• High investments in equipment and low payback periods of up to 5 to 7 years notwithstanding, cogeneration is all set for a revival in Europe between 2014 and 2018.
• The development of CHP is heavily influenced by energy supply-side policies and government regulations that are directed towards energy consumers. Policy, tax, electricity reforms and trading arrangements are necessary to nurture cogeneration.
• The effective implementation of CHP policies and a focus on creating favourable conditions for cogeneration development are likely to drive the market in Europe.
