biomethane market

The biomethane market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.79% during the forecasted period, with a market valuation of US$4.371 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach US$6.36 billion by 2029.

The biomethane market is driven by strict government policies, increasing investment in renewable energy, and rising enhancement in sustainability and environmentally friendly products.

As per the report, the biomethane market is expected to grow significantly.

Biomethane is a renewable energy gas created from biogas, a blend of methane, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen, created through an anaerobic digestion process of organic matter such as food residues, manure, and sewage sludge. Upgrading biogas to biomethane includes removing pollutants to extend methane substance, compared to natural gas. This filtered methane can be utilized as transportation fuel, heating, or power generation. Biomethane is renewable, cleaner, and economical, assisting sustainability by using waste and diminishing dependence on fossil fuels. It is a practical elective for fossil fuels in the coming years. The biomethane market is encountering noteworthy growth due to different variables such as rising preference for biomethane as an alternative to fossil fuels, and aligning with global endeavors to moderate climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. It can moreover improve energy independence, fortify the country’s financial advancement, and produce income for agriculturists, districts, and businesses who are involved in biomethane production. Technological progressions to produce cost-effective biogas, coupled with government policies and initiatives, such as tax relief, will further contribute to the rising utilization of biomethane by various industries in the coming years fueling the market growth. For example, in April 2024, Air Liquide increased its biomethane production capacity in the U.S. with the development of two new facility units in Pennsylvania, and Michigan region. These units treat dairy farm squander, advancing a circular economy path. Also, these units will produce biogas from manure feedstock in an anaerobic digester, with an overall generation capacity of 74 GWh.

Based on the feedstock, the biomethane market is categorized into animal manure, organic household, energy crops, sewage sludge, and others. Energy crops are anticipated to essentially contribute to the development of the biomethane market due to their huge production, high yield, cultivating land availability, and supportive government schemes. These energy crops, like, sunflower, sorghum, palm, and soybean, are grown for biomethane generation, guaranteeing a reliable and steady supply. Furthermore, numerous districts globally have reasonable land for the cultivation of this crop, making it a feasible and productive alternative.

The biomethane market based on the production process is divided into anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and gasification. Anaerobic digestion is the foremost broadly utilized method for creating biomethane, with its productivity, versatility, and environmental advantages. It can handle different organic feedstocks, including agricultural squander, food preparation waste, and wastewater treatment. Anaerobic digestion can be executed on small and large scales, making it reasonable for different applications. Further, it decreases greenhouse gas emissions thus anticipated to contribute to the market in the coming years

The biomethane market based on the production application is classified into automotive, power generation, and others. Automotive is anticipated to be primarily fueling biomethane market expansion during the forecasted years due to its being practically a cleaner elective to fossil fuels, offering automotive compatibility, and being backed by government initiatives. The transportation segment, which majorly adds to greenhouse gas emissions, can benefit from biomethane since bioethane vehicles produce less emissions in comparison to traditional fossil fuel-powered automobiles.

The biomethane market has developed substantially in the Asia Pacific region due to various factors. The Asian Pacific region encompasses a considerable supply of organic and agricultural waste, which is employed to fulfill rising energy necessities due to fast economic advancement and urbanization. Governments are implementing policies and initiatives in support of biomethane generation. The developing countries in the region are focusing on sustainable and low-carbon emission alternatives to reduce the impact on climate and the environment, which will lead to a shifting preference toward biomethane among regional businesses, promoting market growth.

The biomethane market is supported by key players such as EnviTec Biogas AG, AB HOLDING SPA, Ecofinity, Orbital Gas System, Future Biogas Limited, PlanET Biogas Group, ETW Energietechnik GmbH, Verbio, Veolia Group, and Air Liquide Energies.
