Nonwovens for Energy Applications Market Drivers and Opportunities
Increasing Demand from Renewable Energy Sector
The renewable energy sector is experiencing rapid growth due to widespread efforts to combat climate change and enhance energy security. According to the International Energy Agency 2023 report, the global renewable power capacity is expected to increase in the next five years, of which solar PV and wind energy accounted for 96% of power capacity, as their power generation costs are lower than fossil and nonfossil alternatives. Solar PV and wind energy capacity are forecasted to double by 2028 compared to 2022. The continuous growth in the economic attractiveness of the renewable energy industry coupled with increasing government policy support, especially in China, the US, the European Union, and India, are expected to accelerate capacity growth in the coming years. As per the Global Wind Energy Council, in 2022, a new wind power capacity of 77.6 GW was connected to power grids worldwide, recording a total installed wind capacity of 906 GW and registering growth of 9% compared with 2021.
Government Regulations and Incentives Associated with Clean Energy
Government policies have a significant influence on hydrogen fuel cells and clean energy technologies. These policies influence the demand for advanced materials, including nonwovens, critical for enhancing the performance and efficiency of energy systems. Governments of various countries across the globe have set ambitious targets to lower carbon emissions, encouraging the adoption of clean energy technologies. For instance, the EU aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Such stringent emission standards necessitate the development of efficient energy systems, boosting the demand for nonwovens in hydrogen fuel cells and clean energy technologies. A few governments are also designing strategies to promote green hydrogen production, using renewable energy sources to electrolyze water. In December 2023, the Energy Security Secretary (UK) announced the funding for 11 projects to produce green hydrogen through electrolysis. In May 2024, Hydrogen Ukraine and AB5 Consulting won a grant to develop its Renewable Hydrogen Project in Ukraine. The project was funded through Innovate Ukraine under the UK International Development.
