Key Trends in the Micro Combined Heat and Power Market

Improved efficiency through fuel cell technologies: Modern micro‐CHP systems, particularly those using fuel cells, are reaching total efficiency levels up to approximately 109% and electrical efficiency near 33%. Notable technology efforts-such as collaborations like Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Corp. with Gaskatel GmbH-are enhancing alkaline fuel cell performance.

Government support unlocking uptake: Programs like Japan's Ene‐Farm, which has rolled out around 306,000 fuel-cell micro-CHP units, and South Korea's plan to produce 2.1 GW of micro fuel cells for buildings by 2040 underscore how policy can drive adoption.

Fuel flexibility and hybrid systems: Manufacturers are delivering micro‐CHP systems able to run not just on natural gas but also on biogas and hydrogen. Platforms based on solid oxide fuel cells demonstrate electrical efficiency up to 60%, reflecting this push toward diverse fuel options.

Smarter and quieter design: New units include remote monitoring, operate at noise levels as low as 45 dB, and require less frequent maintenance-some supporting up to 15,000 operating hours between service intervals.
