Market Trends of South-East Asia (SEA) Syngas Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the SEA Syngas Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Usage in Power Generation Industry
- The power industry is the backbone of the industrial sector that supplies essential energy to industrial, commercial, manufacturing, and residential customers.
- Synthesis gas plays a huge role in power generation, as it is used as an intermediate in creating synthetic natural gas (SNG), which has various application, such as:
- IGCC plants use gasifiers that convert coal or any other carbon-based materials to syngas, which is used in driving a combined cycle turbine to generate electricity. IGCC plants can achieve efficiencies of 45% and have low emissions, since the fuel is cleaned before it is fired in the gas cycle turbine.
- Biogas, which is a form of renewable energy, can be obtained through thermochemical gasification of synthetic gas.
- Gasification and pyrolysis processes produce a combustible synthetic gas that can either be used to produce electricity, or further refined and upgraded for direct generation in a gas turbine or engine.
- The aforementioned factors have been boosting the demand for syngas in the region, in the recent times.
Indonesia to Dominate the Market
- The Indonesian power generation sector has witnessed a significant growth during the past five years.
- Growing population in the country, rising per capita income, and structurally lower electrification ratio, together, indicate rapid growth for the electricity demand during the forecast period.
- With the current slowdown in the mining sector, some rebalancing of economic growth toward manufacturing is likely to take place over the forecast period.
- The chemical manufacturing sector in the country is growing, due to the increasing demand for chemicals in various applications.
- Overall, the growing end-user industries in the country are projected to drive the market during the forecast period.
