Enzymes For Bioenergy Application Market By Source (Microorganisms, Plants, Animals), By Enzyme Type (Amylases, Lipases, Cellulose, Others), By Reaction Type (Hydrolysis, Transesterification, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022-2031
The global enzymes for bioenergy applications market was valued at $0.80 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $1.6 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 6.9% from 2022 to 2031.
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions in living organisms. They are biological catalysts that speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed or altered in the process. Enzymes play a critical role in many biological processes, including metabolism, DNA replication, and protein synthesis. Without enzymes, these reactions are expected to occur too slowly to sustain life. Enzymes are also used extensively in industry and research, such as in the production of pharmaceuticals, food processing, bioenergy and biotechnology.
Enzymes are an important component of the bioenergy market as they play a key role in the conversion of biomass into usable energy sources. In the context of bioenergy, enzymes are used to break down complex organic molecules, such as starches and cellulose, into simpler sugars that can be fermented or converted into biofuels.
The growth of enzymes for bioenergy applications market is primarily driven by the increase in demand for renewable energy that has led to the growth of the bioenergy market. Enzymes play a critical role in the production of biofuels, which are seen as a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Furthermore, the public is becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impacts of traditional energy sources, leading to increased demand for sustainable alternatives such as biodiesels, and biogas.
In addition, the recent advancement in biotechnology and enzyme engineering have made enzymes more efficient and cost-effective, which contributes to the growing adoption of enzymes in the bioenergy industry. Enzyme technology has also enabled the development of more efficient and sustainable bioenergy production processes. For example, enzymes can be used to convert plant-based feedstocks into sugars, which can then be fermented into biofuel. The enzymes are more efficient compared to chemical catalysts as enzymes overcome drawbacks associated with chemical catalysts. For instance, enzyme catalyzed biodiesel synthesis uses less energy and is more environment friendly than biodiesel production using conventional chemical catalyzed. For instance, according to a 2021 report by International Energy Agency (IEA), Modern bioenergy is the largest source of renewable energy globally, accounting for 55% of renewable energy and over 6% of global energy supply. International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organization. IEA is actively involved in efforts to address climate change.
Many governments around the world provide support and incentives for the development and production of bioenergy. This includes funding for research and development of new technologies, as well as tax credits and other financial incentives for bioenergy producers. Enzymes are often a key component of bioenergy production processes, which makes them an attractive target for government support and incentives. For instance, the U.S. government passed the Inflation Reduction Act in August 2022, which includes extended and new policy support for biofuels, particularly advanced biofuels and sustainable aviation fuels. India updated its biomass co-firing policy in 2021, with a focus on utilizing agricultural residues and an aim to reduce air pollution in rural areas.
Furthermore, according to a 2021 report by the International Energy Agency, over 80 countries currently have policies supporting liquid biofuels. Countries including Canada, China, Lithuania and the U.S., have announced that they are investing significantly in the research and deployment of biofuels since 2021.
A significant amount of bioenergy is produced from plant biomass. The main component of plant cell walls is cellulose, which is broken down to glucose, a simple sugar that can be fermented into biofuels. This process is carried out with the help of cellulases. Cellulases is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose, thus making cellulase widely used enzyme to treat plant biomass. Furthermore, some other enzymes used in bioenergy production include amylase that breaks down starch into glucose, and lipase that breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol. These enzymes are used in the production of biofuels such as biodiesel and biogas.
However, factors such as stability of enzymes can limit the market's expansion for enzymes for bioenergy. Enzymes used in bioenergy processes such as biofuel production, biogas production, and biomass conversion need to be stable and active under a variety of conditions, including high temperatures, pH extremes, and the presence of inhibitory substances. The enzymes for bioenergy applications market is segmented into source, enzyme type, reaction type, and region. By source, the market is categorized into microorganisms, plants and animals. By enzyme type, the market is categorized into amylases, lipases, cellulose, and others. By reaction type, the market is categorized into hydrolysis, transesterification, and others.
