North America Shale Gas Market Research Report; North America Outlook (U.S. and Canada), Growth Potential, Competitive Industry Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecasts 2019–2027

Introduction and Overviews

The growth of the North America Shale Gas market is driven by higher demand for energy and power among the population in the region, owing to growth in consumption of energy by the population and changing climatic conditions, due to global warming raising the demand for power. Alternative sources of energy have become higher in demand, with United States of America (U.S.) exploring ways to tackle high energy demands with sustainable energy solutions. The market is further anticipated to grow on the back of rising demand for alternative sources of energy in the region.

As per Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), renewable energy has grown at the fastest rate as compared to other sources, with solar generation estimated to become the fastest growing electricity source that is anticipated to grow from 7% in 2015 to around 36% of the total energy renewable generation in the U.S. by 2050. About ten (10%) percent of the energy consumed across sectors in the U.S. was from renewable sources in the year 2016, which is anticipated to grow over the next twenty five years at an average annual rate of 2%, that is higher than the overall growth rate in energy consumption (0.2% per year) according to Centre for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES). Around 15 percent of electricity generation had arisen from renewables in the year 2016 which could rise to 25 percent by 2030 in the U.S. The majority of the power generation had arisen from hydro, wind and biomass. The use of hydropower is anticipated to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and they operate at relatively lower costs. However, a dam for creation of a reservoir or diversion of water to a hydropower plant may alter the ecosystem and physical characteristic of the river. The transport sector saw a considerable rise in use of renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel during the past decade. E85 (ethanol transportation fuel) is a type of renewable energy fuel which is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate at an average annual rate of 9.7 percent over the next 25 years, even if it starts from a very low base. On the other hand, biomass constitutes about 98 percent of renewable energy use that comprises of nearly 60 percent of biomass wood, 33 percent from biofuels and nearly 8 percent from biomass waste.

Top Macro-Economic Indicators Impacting the Growth:

Currently, about 5% of the global production of natural gas arises from Canada, being the fifth largest producer in the world. Canada reported a production of about 23.7 million cubic metres of crude oil in December, 2018 as against a production of 21.2 million cubic metres in January 2017. The energy supply per capita in Canada remains the largest among the IEA (International Energy Agency) member countries. Canada recorded a production of 28.2 million MWh of electricity through hydro generation as of 2019. According to Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, Canada exported energy materials comprising of a value worth USD 122,942.9 million as of 2018.

The usage of fossil fuels such as natural gas had risen significantly in the year 2018 in the region, with the U.S. being the single biggest driver of higher demand, recording a gain of 80 billion cubic metres (bcm) that was 10.5% higher than the previous year. The consumption of natural gas in the U.S. had increased over the last decade. The demand for natural gas had spiked by about 10% in 2018 which was considered to be the highest growth in demand in the last thirty (30) years. This is on account of increase in number of gas-fired power plants and growth in the establishment of number of buildings. The demand for fossil fuels constitute about 80% of the U.S. primary energy consumption as of 2018. The U.S. had seen a growth in demand for electricity, owing to factors such as growing population and economic activity. The maximum generation of power in the U.S. is through the use of fossil fuels such as coal which provided more than 50% of all electricity generated in the U.S. U.S. reported a significant demand for natural gas by recording a consumption of about 3738 TWh of power in 2017.

With CO2 emissions rising at a considerable rate, many opportunities are opening up for key market players to adopt renewable energy sources such as solar panels and solar panel recycling which are known to be sustainable. Growing concerns about ecological imbalance and environment degradation has forced governments to shift their focus towards renewable energy that can offer sustainable growth. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has reported that the overall volume of accumulated photovoltaic panel waste across the globe were estimated to account for about 60-70 million tons by 2050. Many green projects are being encouraged by coming out with energy efficient ways to manage waste by various government bodies.
