Boilers & Burners Dire ctory Boiler and Burners Directory Bioenergy International No 81, 5-2015 43 Despite two mild heating seasons in a row, at least in Europe, now is a good time to take stock of upcoming heating needs and emission compliance requirements. According to a recent market research report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), a global market intelligence company, the global biomass boiler market is expected to grow “healthily” at a CAGR of almost 20 percent during the period from 2014 to 2022. Entitled “Biomass Boiler Market - Global & UK Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2022”, the TMR report estimates the global biomass boiler market, segmented as residential, commercial and industrial, was worth US$1.8 billion in 2013. It is forecasted to reach a valuation of US$8.9 billion by 2022. The commercial sector was the major end-user of biomass boilers in 2013 and is expected to dominate the market in the near future. As expected, heating was found to be the largest application of the market in 2013, accounting for around 80 percent. Of the three boiler types, bubbling fluidised bed (BFB), circulating fluidised bed (CFB), and stoker boilers, the latter dominated the overall market in 2013 and is expected to account for the highest market share during the forecast period. Woody biomass was the largest feedstock type for power and heat generation in 2013, accounting for around 78 percent. The other feedstock categories in the report – agriculture and forest residues, biogas and energy crops, urban residues and others including landfill gas – made up the balance though it should be noted that boilers tend to be feedstock flexible. The report points out that the rapid industrialisation in developing economies such as India, China, and Brazil has fuelled the demand for energy and this is expected to augment the growth of the global biomass boiler market. Enforcement of boiler standards along with favourable regulatory frameworks and government support in terms of feed-in tariffs and tax incentives, such as the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) in the UK, will boost the growth of the overall market during the forecast horizon. On the flip side the report mentions that the challenges related to biomass fuel supply, storage, and handling will hamper demand for biomass boilers. The purpose of this biomass ”Boilers and Burners Directory” is to provide an overview on those who can supply biomass combustion technologies for larger residential, commercial or industrial applications. Note that while the list is comprehensive it is not exhaustive nor does it in any way represent an endorsement of a company and/or product.
