What Is Covered Under Biogas Market?

Biogas refers to a form of biofuel that is created spontaneously when organic waste decomposes. Biogas generation is also known as anaerobic digestion since it occurs in the absence of oxygen. Biogas helps mitigate methane emissions while producing cleaner fuel for cooking, lighting, and electricity. The main sources of biogas are municipal waste, industrial waste, agricultural waste, and others. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) of the organic portion of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) creates biogas that can be used to generate energy, hence reducing waste that would otherwise be landfilled. Biogas is used for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes. It is implemented in various areas such as power generation, heat generation, cogeneration, and others.

What Is The Biogas Market Growth Forecast?

The biogas market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $119.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of large-scale biogas facilities, integration with smart grids and IoT-based monitoring, adoption in industrial and commercial heat generation, rising investments in renewable energy infrastructure, development of advanced biogas upgrading technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of advanced anaerobic digestion technologies, expansion of municipal waste-to-biogas projects, increasing use of agricultural waste for biogas production, growing applications of biogas in residential and commercial sectors, integration of biogas with cogeneration systems.

What Is The Driver Of The Biogas Market?

The increasing research and development activities will support the growth of the biogas market. Biofuels are fuels produced from hydrocarbon-rich living organisms (biomass) such as plants or microalgae by thermal, chemical, or biochemical conversion processes. As with fuels, biofuels such as biodiesel, biogas, and syngas are combusted to generate energy. The research and development activities include manufacturing, processing, testing, and inspecting the materials by using different types of technologies for better products. For example, in January 2023, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced over $100 million in funding to expand US biofuels production, as the Biden administration works to cut greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and meet climate goals. The department plans to award $118 million to 17 projects designed to accelerate the production of biofuels, which can be made from biomass including agricultural waste, soybean oil, and animal fats. The funds add to the more than $500 million the DOE has put into bioenergy and biorefinery research and development over the past two years. Therefore, the increasing research and development activities will drive the biogas industry.

Global Biogas Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the biogas market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as high-efficiency gas engines to enhance fuel efficiency and extend operational range. High-efficiency gas engines are engines designed to convert more fuel into usable energy while minimizing waste and emissions. For instance, in February 2023, Volvo Trucks, a Sweden-based truck manufacturer, launched a new, stronger gas-powered truck that can run on liquified biogas. The Volvo FH (Forward control High entry) and FM (Forward control Medium height cab) gas-powered trucks have 500 horsepower added to their existing 420 and 460 horsepower engines. The gas engines also receive significant technological improvements that increase their fuel efficiency by up to 4%. This, along with a new, 10% larger gas tank, results in a greater range.

What Are Latest Mergers And Acquisitions In The Biogas Market?

In February 2023, Shell plc, a UK-based oil and gas company, acquired Nature Energy Biogas A/S for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to solidify Shell's position as a leader in the renewable natural gas (RNG) sector, enhancing its integrated RNG value chain globally. Shell intends to expand its portfolio of operating plants, associated feedstock supply, and innovative technology for RNG production. This strategic move aligns with Shell's Powering Progress strategy, enabling the company to profitably grow its low-carbon offerings across various sectors. Nature Energy Biogas A/S is a Denmark-based company that produces biogas from agricultural, industrial, and household waste to replace fossil fuels.
