Biogas to Hydrogen Global Market Report 2025

The biogas-to-hydrogen market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.55 billion in 2024 to $1.75 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the historic period can be linked to increasing adoption of clean energy, growing diversification away from fossil fuels, rising demand for alternative fuels, increasing government incentives, and expanding efforts toward decarbonization.

The biogas-to-hydrogen market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be driven by rising investments in hydrogen infrastructure, growing emphasis on energy security, increasing utilization of agricultural waste, rising regulatory support for the hydrogen transition, and growing urgency for emission reduction. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in biogas purification, integration of decentralized energy networks, innovations in carbon capture methods, developments in anaerobic digestion processes, and advancements in hydrogen storage technologies.

Rising demand for wastewater treatment solutions is expected to drive the growth of the biogas-to-hydrogen market in the coming years. These solutions involve technological and infrastructure processes that remove contaminants from used water to make it safe for reuse or environmentally safe discharge. The need for wastewater treatment solutions is increasing as rapid urbanization and industrial expansion significantly raise the volume of municipal and industrial wastewater that must be managed and disposed of safely, posing major public health and environmental challenges. The biogas-to-hydrogen process helps meet this growing demand by converting methane-rich biogas, a by-product of anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment plants, into high-value, clean hydrogen fuel, effectively transforming waste into a recoverable resource. For example, in 2024, the United Nations Sustainable Development reported that 3.4 billion people still lacked access to safely managed sanitation services, highlighting a substantial, unmet need for expanded treatment infrastructure capable of producing biogas feedstocks. Consequently, the increasing demand for wastewater treatment solutions is fueling the growth of the biogas-to-hydrogen market.

Leading companies in the biogas-to-hydrogen market are emphasizing technological innovations in clean carbon-negative hydrogen production to secure a competitive edge. Clean carbon-negative hydrogen is generated from renewable or waste-derived biogas, with processes that permanently capture or utilize carbon, resulting in net-negative greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, in April 2025, Utility and Ghena, a U.S.-based clean hydrogen technology firm, launched its H2GEN reactor system for biogas-to-hydrogen conversion. This system allows direct hydrogen generation from biogas without prior upgrading, offers modular scalability, and achieves verified negative carbon-intensity outputs for mobility applications in South Korea. These advancements accelerate the transition to climate-positive hydrogen production, support decarbonization strategies, and enhance circular economy integration, although commercialization and lifecycle validation of the technology remain key challenges.

In February 2023, Shell plc, a U.K.-based oil and gas company, acquired Nature Energy Biogas A/S for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Shell’s position in the renewable natural gas (RNG) sector and expands its integrated RNG value chain globally. Nature Energy Biogas A/S, based in Denmark, produces hydrogen from biogas using agricultural, industrial, and household waste feedstocks, offering renewable energy alternatives to fossil fuels.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.

Biogas to hydrogen refers to a conversion process in which biogas - produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic waste - is reformed at high temperatures using catalysts to generate hydrogen gas along with byproducts such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The technology commonly utilizes steam reforming, partial oxidation, or advanced tri-reforming methods designed for methane-rich biogas streams. This process enables renewable hydrogen production, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, and supports decarbonization efforts in both energy and industrial applications.

The primary biogas inputs for biogas-to-hydrogen production include agricultural feedstock, industrial wastewater, municipal wastewater, and energy crops. Agricultural feedstock involves using organic materials such as crop residues, animal manure, and plant waste from farming activities to generate biogas. Hydrogen purification technologies include pressure swing adsorption (PSA), membrane separation, and cryogenic separation, while production processes encompass steam methane reforming, autothermal reforming, partial oxidation reforming, and others. Various hydrogen storage methods include compressed hydrogen gas, liquid hydrogen, and metal hydrides, and the hydrogen produced is used in applications such as power generation, chemical production, marine, transportation, and other sectors.
