M2 - Wed Mar 12, 10:03AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8wffb3/coal_fired_power) has announced the addition of the "Coal Fired Power Generation Market 2013-2019: Residential and Commercial Applications" report to their offering. 'Coal Fired Power Generation (Pulverized Coal Systems, Cyclone Furnaces, Fluidized-bed Combustion and Coal Gasification) Market for Residential and Commercial Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019' The coal fired power generation market report provides an in-depth analysis of the global coal fired power industry. The report segments the market on the basis of technology, region and application and also provides the forecasts and estimates for each segment. The report also analyses the demand and supply characteristics of the market by providing a detailed forecast and analysis of installed capacities for the period 2011 to 2019. Based on technology, the market can be segmented into pulverized coal systems, cyclone furnaces and others such as fluidized bed and coal gasification. Due to easy availability of coal in various grades and forms, pulverized coal systems were the largest segment and are expected to maintain the highest share of installed capacity in 2019. Fluidized bed systems are growing in popularity due to their versatility of operation and lower emissions and are expected to be the fastest growing segment in the next few years. Commercial applications such as heavy industries, hospitals, restaurants, malls, street lighting, utilities such as water, railways, etc. require large amounts of electricity and these applications are dependent on a continuous supply of electricity. This can be achieved using coal power generation as opposed to renewable sources that are not available on a continuous basis. The commercial applications segment is thus the largest segment in coal fired power generation and accounted for the largest part of the market share in 2012. This share is expected to increase over the next few years as the need for clean energy and easy availability of renewable power systems in solar and wind energy are available for residential applications. Scope of the Report Technology Analysis - Pulverized coal systems - Cyclone furnaces - Others (Including fluidized bed combustion, coal gasification) Application Analysis - Residential - Commercial Key Topics Covered: Chapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Executive Summary Chapter 3 Coal fired Power Generation - Industry Analysis Chapter 4 Coal Fired Power Generation Market - Technology Analysis Chapter 5 Coal Fired Power Generation Market - Application Analysis Chapter 6 Coal Fired Power Generation Market: Regional Analysis Chapter 7 Company Profiles - American Electric Power Company Inc. - China Datang Corporation - China Huaneng Group - Dominion Energy Solutions - Duke Energy Corporation - E.ON SE - Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. - Georgia Power Company - Jindal India Thermal Power Limited - Korea Electric Power Corporation - National Thermal Power Corporation Limited - RWE AG - STEAG GmbH - Shenhua Group Corporation Limited - Shikoku Electric Power Company, Inc. - Tenaga Nasional Bhd For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8w...ired_power

Coal Fired Power Generation Market for Residential and Commercial Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends & Forecast, 2013 - 2019
M2 - Mon Jan 06, 2:52AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fsb9dj/coal_fired_power) has announced the addition of the "Coal Fired Power Generation Market for Residential and Commercial Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends & Forecast, 2013 - 2019" report to their offering. Coal fired power has been the most steady source of electricity for various industries such as refineries, textiles, steel, chemicals and others. These industries along with the IT sector and other commercial ventures have shown the greatest demand for power and are hence the largest market for coal fired power generation. At the same time, huge advances in urbanization and greater demand for power in day-to-day life have been driving the market for residential applications of coal fired power. Many residential areas have also turned towards solar power and hydro power for their energy needs and this has reduced their share in the coal fired power generation market over the past decade. As a result, commercial applications were the larger market and accounted for over 55% of the market in 2012. Ready availability of raw material in Asia Pacific has enabled the region to become the foremost coal producer in the world. Countries such as China, Australia, India, Indonesia and others have become the largest producers of coal in the past few decades with large quantities of resources available in the vicinity. As a result, countries in Asia Pacific have come to depend on coal fired power for their energy needs. China leads the world in terms of installed capacities of coal fired power generation. Owing to these factors, Asia Pacific accounted for over 50% of the total installed capacities of coal fired power in the world. It is anticipated that Asia Pacific would also show the highest growth rate with large number of power stations under development and relatively higher dependence on coal for energy needs. North America was the other major market in terms of installed capacities followed by Europe while RoW has exhibited more dependence on renewable energy rather than on coal.
