The global Petroleum Coke (Petcoke) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 28.35 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Petroleum coke, also known as petcoke, is a final carbon-rich solid material that derives from oil refining and is becoming an economical alternative fuel for power plants. It has a higher heating value than coal and produces fewer sulfur emissions.
Market Overview:
Petroleum coke is a by-product of the oil refining process. It is mainly used as a cost-effective fuel in electric utilities and cement kilns due to its energy content. The rising electricity demand along with enhanced focus on renewable energies has boosted the usage of petcoke in power plants.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the petroleum coke market is its increasing use in electricity generation. Petcoke produces lesser sulfur emissions and particulate matter as compared to coal. It also has a higher heating value, which makes it a more economical fuel for power plants. Moreover, tightening emission regulations have compelled utility companies and industrial facilities to shift from coal to petcoke to reduce air pollution. This rising demand from the electricity sector is expected to drive the petroleum coke market over the forecast period.
