Navigant Research stated this month that "the confluence of a number of drivers points to renewed interest in this proven technology [CHP] platform across all regions." The market research firm forecasts worldwide revenue from industrial CHP to rise from $19.7 billion in 2013 to $29.8 billion in 2023.
