CHP Markets –
Which Way from Here?
If you wanted to invest
in CHP, where would you put your money? Delta’s
CHP Policy and Markets Team has rated the prospects
for CHP development in several European countries
in the next five years.
June 2008
The CHP
Policy and Market Service provides expert assessment
of how policy and market conditions will influence
potential CHP market development.
This Delta Research Brief provides a glimpse of our
analysis of future CHP markets in seven European countries:

Electricity
Storage Technologies – Time for Utility Engagement?
A handful of utilities
are rolling up their sleeves and engaging with electricity
storage technologies. Other utilities are watching closely,
but the vast majority are sitting on the sidelines.
June 2008
New electricity storage technologies such as flow batteries
and high temperature batteries are finding their way
onto electricity networks. A new Delta multi-client
study
“Emerging Electricity Storage Technologies: Time
For Utility Engagement?” examines how some
utilities are already deploying these products on their
networks, and answers the following questions:
|
Will storage
play a critical role in future electricity
markets? |
|
How are utilities
engaging with these technologies? |
|
What are the
best options and strategies for utilities?
|
|
A Delta Research Brief, based on the multi-client study,
examines these questions and contains selected highlights
from the Multi-Client Study.

Will Micro-Generation Growth Impact Utility Profits
By 2020, utility profits may well be significantly influenced by the success
of their engagement with micro-generation and wider decentralised energy (DE).
This Delta Research Brief looks at what we believe is a potentially critical
challenge for all energy supply companies: utility profitability in relation
to micro-generation.

Trading Up
Improving Prospects for CHP in the EU Emissions Trading
Scheme
May 2007
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme is the crown jewel
of the European policy response to climate change.
Up to now, its impact has been limited but its role
will certainly increase in both scope and impact in
the next few years. This Research Brief explores those
aspects of the Scheme that will shape future CHP market
development.

The Closure of Microgen
A Body-blow for Micro-CHP?
May 2007
The world market for residential scale Micro-CHP
capacity is tiny, yet Delta has documented over 25
products at various stages of development. Microgen,
one of the front-runners, closed down in early 2007.
This Research Brief explores the implications of this
on the emerging micro-CHP market and gives some pointers
to how the market may develop over the next few years.

Micro-generation - A Mass Market in the Making?
January 2007
Micro-generation continues to rear its head above
the parapet, and, in some countries, is gaining attention
from the mainstream energy industry. Is the prospect
of millions of homes generating their own power a
DE fantasy, or is there a secure source of power behind
the micro-generation spotlight? Delta's Research Products
and consultancy provides in-depth analysis of micro-CHP,
photovoltaics and micro-wind turbines, and this Research
Brief provides some highlights of recent market developments
and Delta's research.

Free Research Brief: Which Cogeneration
Plants Will Qualify as High Efficiency?
January 2007
The benchmarks for assessing the energy savings of cogeneration
projects under the EU Cogeneration Directive have now
been agreed and not all plants will qualify for policy
support as a result.
In effect, the new reference value benchmark levels
mean that projects which meet a certain level of energy
saving will qualify for support, and those that do
not, will not.

Roof-top Wind Turbines:
Large Potential But Can They Deliver?
September 2006
Wind turbines are starting to appear on rooftops, particularly in the UK and
the Netherlands, and are generating considerable excitement in the media. High
profile politicians are even installing them. Building-mounted wind turbines
have the clear potential to become high profile mass market products, but this
will depend on a number of unresolved questions including their cost, performance
and energy outputs.
These issues are analysed in detail in a new Multi-Client Study by Delta Energy
and Environment: Roof-top Wind Turbines: A Product for Mass Markets? The report
also includes the results of focus group market research on homeowner attitudes
to roof-top wind turbines.

Delta Micro-CHP Summit Highlights
February 2006
Delta held the first Annual Micro-CHP in Europe Summit in Amsterdam in February
2006. The invitation-only event brought together over 30 leading European utilities,
boiler manufacturers, micro-CHP product developers and other key stakeholders.
The Summit Highlights can be downloaded
here and the programme can be downloaded
here. The second Annual Summit will be held in February 2007.
Decentralised Power Generation Opportunities
in Emerging Markets: Too Big to Ignore.
November 2005
Delta expects new decentralised power generation developments
in non-OECD countries to significantly exceed those
in OECD countries. This Delta
Research Brief projects market growth
of decentralised CHP (combined heat and power) in five
non-OECD markets, across which developments
may reach 129-GW of new decentralised CHP capacity
in the next 10 years.
Spark Spreads for Combined
Heat and Power
November 2005
New Delta Spark Spread analysis in Europe suggests
that the competitive position of gas-fired CHP (combined
heat and power) projects relative to CCGT power plants
is improving as gas prices rise.
Delta's free Research Brief, Spark
Spreads for Combined Heat and Power, develops
a CHP spark spread, presents data for three types
of CHP plant, compares it with spark spreads for a
CCGT plant, and looks at how these spark spreads have
changed over the last 18 months.
