As the US focusses more on developing renewable energy, the biopower industry in the US has been growing at a significant pace in recent years. The biopower industry in the US is the biggest in the world. Biopower is also the second biggest source of renewable energy (non-hydropower) source in the country, following close on the heels of wind energy. The country's installed biopower capacity crossed 15 GW in 2016 and is expected to cross 18 GW by the end of 2025.

The report analyzes the US biopower industry in its in-depth research report Biopower Industry in United States – Analysis and Forecast 2018.

Biopower in United States – Analysis and Forecast 2018 begins with an introduction to biopower, covering the basics of biopower and how it can be used as an energy source. Conversion technologies such as anaerobic digestion, combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, etc., are touched upon.

We look at the global biopower industry through a brief profile, which includes an industry overview, statistics on the installed capacity of biopower and an analysis of biopower markets in Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe.

The biopower industry in the US is analyzed through an industry overview, installed capacity statistics, and electricity generation in the country from biopower feedstock. We also analyze the capital expenditure on biopower in India and the industry investment. Regulatory framework governing the industry are also looked at.

Biopower Industry in United States – Analysis and Forecast 2018 is a comprehensive profile of the biopower industry in the US.
