The natural gas segment led the gas engine market, by fuel type, and is used in base load power generation and CHP (combined heat and power) applications. Natural gas fueled gas engines are mainly used for the power generation application by utilities and manufacturing facilities. The gas engines ranging between 5 MW-20 MW mostly utilizes natural gas. The special gas segment is also the fastest growing market due to increased adaptation of biogas and landfill gas in power generation application. Countries around the world are offering subsidies for the biogas and landfill run power plants.
