Global Emission Monitoring System (EMS) Market By System Type (CEMS, PEMS), By Offering (Hardware, Software, Service), By End user (Power Generation, Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Building Materials, Pulp & Paper, Pharmaceuticals, Metals, Mining, Marine & Shipping, Waste Incineration), By Region, and Key Companies - Industry Segment Outlook, Market Assessment, Competition Scenario, Trends and Forecast 2021-2031

Several environmental regulatory agencies across the world mandate industrial businesses to use Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS or EMS) to keep track of pollutant emission rates. Most authorities approve/require the use of CEMS, which is a traditional device used for continuous emission monitoring.

In many countries, authorities allow the use of predictive emission monitoring systems in place of an installed CEMS for certain applications. CEMS and Predictive Emission Monitoring Systems (PEMS) are included in our coverage of emission monitoring systems for this study.

CEMS are primarily divided into extractive and in-situ probe mounting styles. The probe and analyzer are separated in extractive systems, and the system extracts and conditions the gas sample before transferring it to the analyzer for further analysis.

In-situ CEMS eliminates the requirement for sample conditioning because an analyzer is in direct contact with the flue gas. PEMS, on the other hand, uses modelling software to estimate emission levels of the applicable emission limitation or standard in units based on control device operational characteristics. A sensor validation system may be included as an option in a PEMS to assure the accuracy of given anticipated emissions data. For certified emissions sources, PEMS can be employed independently as well.

Market Dynamics –

Drivers:

A coal-burning power plant is a thermal power plant that generates energy from coal. Mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and a variety of other heavy metals are all released into the air when coal is burned.

Exposure to these pollutants can result in a variety of health concerns, including asthma and breathing problems, brain damage, heart problems, cancer, neurological disorders, and even death. The emission monitoring system determines the concentration of harmful gases or particulate matter released by industrial operations and guarantees that the emissions levels in any industry do not exceed a stipulated limit.

Restraints:

Renewable energy is quickly overtaking the use of fossil fuels as the fastest-growing source for electricity generation. Renewable energy sources such as hydropower, offshore and onshore wind solutions, solar photovoltaic initiatives, and bioenergy are being developed by countries. as these sources emit no carbon emissions, making these renewable energy sources increasingly popular. Individuals around the world must make the transition to low-carbon energy sources, such as nuclear and renewable technologies, in order to reduce CO2 emissions and local air pollution levels. As a result, hydro, solar, and wind power generating facilities harness electricity with minimal or no emissions released, obviating the need for an emission monitoring system.

Opportunity:

One of the most important locations for coal-fired power generation is the APAC region. Countries in this region, such as China and India, are among the greatest consumers of coal for the purposes of electricity generation.

China and India’s involvement in the construction of new coal-fired power plants to offer electrification solutions to the developing world and to secure the economic growth of their respective nations is also likely to create lucrative prospects for the parties involved.

Air pollution control regulations are constantly getting stricter in China and India. As a result, there is expected to be a greater demand for emission monitoring systems to be installed at these plants.

Trends:

CEMS collects data on gas emission levels from a variety of businesses, including power generation, oil & gas, chemicals, and waste incineration applications. Furthermore, an increase in the number of pollution monitoring standards and regulations being imposed across industries is also likely to boost the demand for CEMS.

The increase in prominence of the global hardware EMS market can be attributed to the fact that they are utilized to collect emission data in both CEMS and PEMS. The CEMS is a hardware-powered system that employs hardware components such as sensors to forecast gas emissions, whereas a PEMS is a software-powered system that uses hardware components like sensors to predict gas emissions. Because a majority of facilities have installed continuous emission monitoring systems, the use of hardware-based continuous emission monitoring systems is expected to enhance the demand for these hardware devices.
