Biogas Global Market Report 2024

The biogas market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $76.05 billion in 2023 to $82.89 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. During the historic period, growth in biogas was driven by the expansion of emerging markets, heightened demand for clean energy, environmental concerns linked to conventional power sources, increased need from automotive and transportation sectors, and rising fuel expenses.

The biogas market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $110.03 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. In the upcoming period, biogas growth is driven by government support, urbanization, and R&D. Trends include liquefied biogas, investments, tech advancements, collaborations, and expansions.

The biogas market is poised for growth, supported by an upsurge in research and development activities. Biofuels, derived from hydrocarbon-rich living organisms, are pivotal in the energy generation landscape. Biofuels, including biodiesel, biogas, and syngas, are combusted to produce energy through thermal, chemical, or biochemical conversion processes. The ongoing research and development endeavors encompass manufacturing, processing, testing, and inspection of materials, employing diverse technologies to enhance product quality. A notable example is the January 2023 initiative by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), allocating over $100 million in funding to expand U.S. biofuels production. This strategic move aligns with the Biden administration's efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector and achieve climate objectives. The DOE's plan entails awarding $118 million to 17 projects aimed at accelerating biofuels production from biomass, including agricultural waste, soybean oil, and animal fats. This funding supplements the over $500 million invested by the DOE in bioenergy and biorefinery research and development over the past two years, affirming the pivotal role of research and development in propelling the biogas market.

Government support is anticipated to drive the growth trajectory of the biogas market in the forecast period. Governments across various nations are actively endorsing the manufacturing and services sector to foster innovative solutions that cater to industry needs. For instance, the Swedish government recently unveiled a substantial long-term investment plan designed to boost biogas and biomethane production. This initiative aims to reduce the country's reliance on fossil natural gas imports and contribute to climate and environmental goals. The Swedish regulation accompanying this plan includes subsidies for the production of purified biogas and liquefied biomethane. Furthermore, in February 2022, Japanese city gas utilities revealed plans to introduce a 'clean gas certificates' framework for e-methane and biogas in the fiscal year 2024-25. This framework is envisioned to facilitate the acceleration of carbon neutrality efforts. In essence, government support is anticipated to play a pivotal role in propelling the biogas market forward during the forecast period.

Companies within the biogas market are strategically advancing their technologies to fortify their market position. An exemplar of this strategic focus is Volvo Trucks, a Sweden-based truck manufacturer, which, in February 2023, introduced a robust gas-powered truck capable of running on liquified biogas. Specifically, the Volvo FH (Forward control High entry) and FM (Forward control Medium height cab) gas-powered trucks witnessed a substantial power boost, with an additional 500 horsepower supplementing their existing 420 and 460 horsepower engines. Moreover, these gas engines underwent noteworthy technological enhancements, leading to a remarkable improvement in fuel efficiency, reaching up to 4%. Complementing these advancements, a new gas tank, expanded by 10%, contributes to an extended operational range for these innovative gas-powered trucks. This initiative underscores the industry's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies for enhanced performance and sustainability in the biogas market.

Major players in the biogas market are increasingly prioritizing collaborations and acquisitions as part of their strategic initiatives to enhance financial robustness, broaden their product portfolios, and expand their geographical footprint. An illustrative instance of this trend is the partnership between Nature Energy, a Denmark-based biogas producer, and Nordion Energi, a Denmark-based energy infrastructure specialist, announced in April 2023 for an undisclosed amount. This collaborative venture aims to leverage Nature Energy's proficiency in developing and operating large-scale biogas production facilities in synergy with Nordion Energi's capabilities in managing and advancing energy infrastructure. The objective is to facilitate the integration of new biogas production into the grid. Another noteworthy collaboration is the partnership established in June 2022 between TotalEnergies, a global multi-energy company, and Adani Enterprises Limited, a leading energy and infrastructure platform in India. This strategic alliance focuses on the production and commercialization of green hydrogen in India, marking a significant collaboration in the realms of renewable power and biogas production. These strategic moves underscore the industry's commitment to strengthening its position through synergistic partnerships and acquisitions in the dynamic biogas market landscape.

In January 2021, Total SE, a French energy company specializing in oil, gas, and electricity, completed the undisclosed acquisition of Fonroche Biogaz. This strategic move positions Total as a significant player in France and Europe's renewable gas sector, expanding its presence in anaerobic digestion plants operated by Fonroche Biogaz, a subsidiary of Groupe Fonroche.
