The North America FOG market is projected to grow from USD 9.5 billion in 2022 to USD 25.6 billion by 2044, at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Appropriate recycling of brown grease reduces landfilling and landfill-related methane emissions. As a feedstock for the biofuels sector, brown grease helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the impact of climate change and offers a less expensive option for biofuel and biodiesel production.
Yellow grease, Restaurants/fast-food restaurants segment has the largest share in North America FOG market in 2021
Yellow grease is produced from used cooking oil as well as other fats and oils gathered from commercial or industrial cooking operations. The yellow grease market will increase due to the growing awareness of sustainable energy resources and environmental conservation. The restaurants and food industry is evolving that directly impacting the overall production of brown grease from used cooking oil.
Brown grease fuel is the fastest segment in the North America FOG market
Brown grease is collected through grease traps installed in commercial, industrial, or municipal sewage treatment plants to separate grease and oil from wastewater. When preheated, brown grease can be utilized as crude bio-boiler fuel in conjunction with diesel fuel to prime and clean the system before and after each usage. According to international convention, CO2 emissions from biofuel combustion are excluded from national greenhouse gas emissions inventories as growing the biomass feedstocks used for biofuel production may offset the CO2 produced when biofuels are burned.
US FOG market is projected to have largest market share during the forecast period
The US FOG market for yellow and brown grease is likely to be driven by the increasing production of biofuels and government initiatives and subsidies on biofuels production. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the US production of biodiesel was 159 million gallons in December 2020. Biodiesel production from the Midwest region accounted for 72% of the US total production. The demand for yellow grease is expected to increase in the region due to the increased corn prices, which is also used as feedstock for biofuel, and the rising demand for cleaner fuel alternatives.
