合成氣市場:現況分析與預測(2024-2032)Syngas Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2024-2032) |
推動合成氣市場的另一個因素是國際社會對使用清潔能源的興趣日益濃厚。隨著世界各國政府和產業致力於解決碳排放問題,合成氣具有巨大的潛力,因為它可以生產更清潔的燃料並減少傳統燃料來源的使用。合成氣的需求不斷增加,因為它在發電中的使用,特別是在聯合循環發電廠中,可以實現高效且環保的系統。此外,該市場還觀察到氣化技術的改進,提高了合成氣生產的效率和成本效益。這項進步增加了合成氣應用於各種產品的潛力,包括先進的生物燃料和化學合成。例如,2024年,Siemens AG與Boson Energy簽署協議,透過廢棄物氫氣技術加速向綠色能源轉型。 Boson的氣化技術可以從不可回收的固體廢棄物(包括城市固體廢棄物(MSW))中生產高品質、穩定的合成氣,且資本和營運成本較低。
根據生產技術,合成氣市場分為蒸氣重整法和部分氧化法。蒸氣重整在合成氣市場中佔有很大佔有率。蒸汽重整是一種廣泛應用的技術,透過使包括天然氣在內的碳氫化合物與蒸汽反應來生產合成氣。此製程非常經濟,因此廣泛用於氫氣、氨和甲醇合成所需的大規模合成氣生產。此外,與部分氧化等其他技術相比,蒸汽重整具有較低的運行成本和較高的能量轉換效率,這對其較高的市場佔有率做出了重要貢獻。
根據原料,市場細分分為天然氣、煤炭、生物質/廢棄物等。到2023年,煤炭領域預計將在合成氣市場中佔據主要佔有率。煤炭氣化在煤炭資源豐富的亞太地區尤其受歡迎。煤氣化生產合成氣的技術已相對成熟,可望大規模增產。此外,除了用於發電之外,煤基合成氣還可以用於化學工業,例如生產氨和甲醇。隨著氣化和碳捕獲與封存(CCS)方法的改進抵消了化石燃料的有害影響,支撐了煤炭產業的主導地位,人們對煤炭造成的環境污染的擔憂密切關注。然而,隨著永續發展努力的推進,市場可能會逐漸轉向天然氣和生物質等更清潔的原料。
依氣化爐類型,市場分為固定床、混流床、流體化床等。混流氣化爐在合成氣市場中佔有很大佔有率。其成長得益於其高效能、大規模加工各種原料的能力,包括低品位煤炭和生物質。混流氣化爐在高溫下運行,使其能夠有效地氣化原料,生產出雜質較少的高品質合成氣。這使其適合用於大規模工業製程和發電。
依應用,市場分為甲醇、氨、氫氣、液體燃料、直接還原鐵、合成天然氣、電力等。甲醇合成部門在合成氣市場中佔有重要佔有率。這主要是由於用途廣泛,包括作為生產甲醛乙酸和其他化學品的原料。由於對環保能源的需求,甲醇也日益被用作替代燃料和生物柴油生產。
為了更了解合成氣的市場介紹,市場為北美(美國、加拿大等北美地區)、歐洲(德國、英國、法國、西班牙等歐洲地區)、亞太地區(中國、印度、日本、亞太地區其他地區)和世界其他地區。亞太地區對合成氣市場的擴張做出了重大貢獻。這主要是由於該地區工業化率高、能源消耗率不斷上升以及產業對化學產品生產的濃厚興趣。中國和印度由於其化學工業和不斷成長的發電需求而在市場上處於領先地位。其中,由於煤炭豐富且政府計劃減少對進口天然氣和石油的依賴,中國在合成氣市場佔最大佔有率。此外,該地區清潔發電的發展以及利用合成氣生產氫氣也推動全球市場的發展。由於工業化趨勢和合成氣技術資本投入的增加,亞太地區在全球合成氣市場中處於戰略地位。
The syngas or synthesis gas market is proliferating with various uses in chemicals, electricity production, vehicle fuels, and others. Syngas, a combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, are usually manufactured through gasification of carbon substances including coal, biomass, or natural gas. Due to its versatility as a feedstock for creating numerous chemical products such as methanol, ammonia, and synthetic natural gas, it plays a crucial role in the global energy and chemicals industry.
Another factor driving the syngas market is the rising concern of global society towards the usage of cleaner sources of energy. Due to its ability to provide for the manufacture of cleaner fuels and cut down on the use of conventional sources of fuel, syngas is highly relevant as governments and industries across the globe focus on tackling the problem of carbon emissions. The use of syngas in power generation, especially in combined cycle power plants makes use of efficient and environmentally friendly systems, which in turn increases demand for syngas. Moreover, the market is also experiencing enhancements in gasification technologies, which enhance the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of producing syngas. This progress has enhanced the possibility of applying syngas in a broad range of products such as advanced biofuels and chemical synthesis. For example, in 2024, Siemens AG and Boson Energy entered into an agreement to accelerate the green energy transition through waste-to-hydrogen technology. Boson gasification-based technology can create syngas with high quality and stability from nonrecyclable solid waste, including municipal solid waste (MSW) with low capital expenditures and operating expenses.
Based on production technology, the Syngas market is categorized into steam reforming and partial oxidation. Steam reforming caters significant share in the syngas market. Steam reforming is a widely applied technology based on the reaction of hydrocarbons, including natural gas, with steam to yield syngas. This process is highly economical and therefore widely used for large-scale syngas generation required for hydrogen synthesis, ammonia synthesis, and methanol synthesis. Besides, the lower operating costs and higher energy conversion efficiency of steam reforming in comparison with some other technologies including partial oxidation greatly influenced its high market share.
Based on feedstock, the Syngas market is segmented into natural gas, coal, biomass/waste, and others. In 2023, the coal segment is expected to cater to an extensive share of the syngas market. Coal gasification has particularly in the Asia-Pacific region owing to its large resources in coal. The technology of gasification of coal to produce syngas is relatively mature and expected to increase its production at a large scale. Further, the application of coal-based syngas is in the chemical industries such as the production of ammonia and methanol besides usage in the generation of power. Concerns over pollution of the environment by coal are closely addressed as improvements in the method of gasification and carbon capture and storage (CCS) offset any detrimental effects of the fossil fuel, thereby supporting the domination of the coal segment. However, as sustainability efforts continue to grow, the market could slowly transform to cleaner feedstock such as natural gas and biomass.
Based on gasifier type, the market is segmented into fixed bed gasifiers, entrained flow gasifiers, fluidized bed gasifiers, and others. The entrained flow gasifiers catered to a significant share of the syngas market. The factors attributed to its growth are to handle a wide range of feedstocks, including low-grade coals and biomass, with high efficiency and at a large scale. The entrained flow gasifiers work at high-temperature levels and hence the feedstocks can be gasified efficiently enough to produce higher standard syngas with low-level impurities. This makes them suitable for usage in large-scale industrial processes and power generation more appropriate.
Based on application, the market is categorized into methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, liquid fuels, direct reduced iron, synthetic natural gas, electricity, and others. The methanol synthesis segment caters to a significant share of the syngas market. It is mainly due to its wide range of applications such as a starting material for the manufacture of formaldehyde acetic acid, and other chemicals. Methanol is also increasingly used as an alternative fuel and for biodiesel manufacturing, due to the demand for environmentally friendly energy sources.
For a better understanding of the market adoption of Syngas, the market is analyzed based on its worldwide presence in countries such as North America (U.S., Canada, and the Rest of North America), Europe (Germany, UK, France, Spain, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, and Rest of Asia-Pacific), Rest of World. Asia-Pacific has significantly contributed to the expansion of the Syngas market. This is mainly due to the high industrialization rate, rising energy consumption rates in the region, and a strong industrial focus on the manufacture of chemicals. China and India are leading the pack owing to chemical industries and growing power generation needs. Among the countries, China has the largest share in the syngas market due to the abundance of coal and the government's plan for less reliance on imported natural gas and oil. Additionally, the emphasis on developing clean power generation in the area, and hydrogen production through syngas, also propels the global market. The increasing trend in industrialization and the increased capital sunk on syngas technologies place Asia Pacific in a strategic position for the global syngas market.
Some of the major players operating in the market include Siemens AG, Linde Plc, Sasol, Shell Plc, Topsoe AS, Maire Tecnimont Spa, Dow Inc, Technip Energies NV, Air Products and Chemicals Inc, and Air Liquide.
