"Actionable Insights to Fuel Your Growth"
Listen to this report overview
The global biogas market size was valued at nearly US$ 21 Bn in 2018 and is projected to reach approximately US$ 30 Bn by the end of 2026, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.65% in the forecast period.
Biogas is a category of biofuel that is produced when organic matter breaks down primarily in an anaerobic environment. Lack of oxygen decomposes animal manure, sewage wastes, food scraps, and other materials to release a mixture of gases, primarily methane along with carbon dioxide.
The process is also called anaerobic digestion due to no oxygen exposure of feedstocks. Biogas is considered a green fuel because it contains the treatment of ever-increasing waste production and diminishes the dependency on fossil fuels to suffice the rising energy demand. The production captures methane which is more potent to devastate climate because of its high heat capturing properties and is about 28 times more harmful than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.
Biogas can be formed mainly through two sources energy crops and organic residue & wastes. Organic and renewable materials are environmentally beneficial and cost-effective source to generate electricity, heat, and biogas efficiently. Digestion of various crops including grass, leaves, maize, wheat, barley, and other crop residues are being used as feedstocks for biogas production.
The paradigm shifts towards cleaner fuel to generate heat and electricity led different countries to adopt biofuels and therefore utilizing biogas for mass production. Stringent government norms to curb GHG emissions coupled with high subsidies to promote green energy usage have acted as primary drivers, which will contribute to the global biogas market revenue.
In North America, the USA tends to hold the lion’s share owing to favorable policies and advance application sectors. Europe and Asia Pacific have dominated the market share over time. The prominent countries in the market are Germany, UK, Italy, China, and India. In recent years, different countries have set ample targets to provide monetary benefits for biogas production by various feedstock. Latin American countries like Mexico and Chile are anticipated to witness substantial opportunities to boost biogas market growth.

"Vast Availability of Organic Residues & Wastes to Boost Growth of the Segment"
Biogas can be produced by both biological waste and crop waste. The conversion of biodegradable waste to useful power is readily harnessed to create biogas. Manure of animals like cows, pigs, poultry, sheep, along with different agri-food waste, are treated in various capacity. Agricultural waste is subjected to hold a dominating share across the organic residues & wastes segment. High prices and limited land availability of energy crops will positively affect the industry outlook. Growing animal density, along with decreasing bio-waste cost, will fuel the biogas production from organic wastes. A wide range of digestible crops residue and yielding of high-efficiency fertilizers as a byproduct is anticipated to drive energy crops.
"Electricity to hold a Greater Market Share"
Electricity generation will dominate the global biogas market size throughout the forecast timeframe. Rising energy demand across developing regions, coupled with growing concerns towards cleaner fuel, will increase biogas usage for electricity generation. Variable-capacity plants with appropriate feedstock are readily used to convert biogas to electricity for complementing the required size. Utilization of biogas as a fuel for electricity generating units or directly for heating purposes can significantly reduce fossil fuel dependency.
