Coal Power Generation Market– Statistics And Analysis & Forecast To 2028

Posted by Mrudula Karmarkar on March 16th, 2022

The global coal power generation market demand to reach 2,228.32 GW by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 1.6% from 2020 to 2028. Strong energy demand is expected to drive the coal industry to generate electricity. Coal is a key material for electricity generation owing to its abundant availability and low cost. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in stagnated growth of industrial activities around the globe owing to lockdown measures imposed in most countries, which has reduced the demand for new coal-based plants for power generation in industrial sectors.

Its demand from prospective industrial customers is expected to be on the lower side on account of funds that were previously allotted for industrial development but were diverted to combat the COVID-19 crisis. Pulverized coal firing is traditionally the most widely used technology over cyclone furnaces or others due to higher thermal efficiency and lesser emissions. The factors, such as high emission rate, are expected to cater to the growth of Cleaner Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) systems with 1.0% CAGR over the forecasted period in comparison with the traditional technologies.

Uniper SE plans to end the commercial production of electricity of its Heyden 4 hard coal power plant in Germany by January 2021 and close the plant completely by July 2021. In October 2019, NTPC announced that it installed two 660 MW units at the Tanda and Khargone super thermal power generation stations. The availability of raw material is a key factor that affects any production process, controls its setup, and helps drive market growth. In the case of coal-fired power generation, coal is utilized as an energy source and is a major raw material used for power production.

The high energy demand is expected to drive the coal industry to generate electricity. Coal is a key product for electricity generation owing to its abundant availability and low cost compared to other electricity generation technologies. These factors are expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. The supply chain of the coal power generation model was majorly affected due to the shutdown of production facilities owing to lockdowns imposed in the majority of the countries around the globe. In addition, local and international travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, and lockdowns further delayed the shipments of manufactured parts that were in process of delivery.
