Biogas Upgrading Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Technology (Pressure swing adsorption (PSA), Water scrubber, Membrane, Chemical scrubber and Other Technologies), Application and By Geography

Biogas Upgrading Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Technology (Pressure swing adsorption (PSA), Water scrubber, Membrane, Chemical scrubber and Other Technologies), Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Biogas Upgrading Market is accounted for $398.8 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $2010.7 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 25.9% during the forecast period. Anaerobic digestion of organic substrates, such as manure, sewage sludge, organic fractions of municipal and industrial waste, and energy crops, results in the production of biogas. Methane and carbon dioxide make up the majority of biogas, which can be used in combined heat and power plants, as automobile fuel, or as a natural gas alternative. Biogas can be produced and used with a number of positive environmental effects. Compared to conventional manure management or landfills, it decreases the release of methane to the atmosphere.

According to the World Biogas Association (WBA), Biogas can reduce global GHG emissions by 10-13% and provide renewable energy from the world's food waste, industrial production wastes, feedstocks from agriculture, and sewage. According to the European Biogas Association, about 18,977 biogas plants and 1,023 biomethane plants were installed, with a total installed capacity of 167TWh and 2.5 billion cubic meters (bcm).

Market Dynamics

Driver

Increase in demand for renewable energy

The demand for upgrading biogas has increased as the use of renewable energy grows globally. The main players are concentrating on raising the amount of renewable energy produced. Huge sums of money have been invested in the construction of new biogas facilities as a result of the need for a natural gas replacement. The regulatory organisations have established strict emission standards. The market potential for upgrading biogas has been boosted by these laws. The industry is being driven by new technological advancements in biogas upgrading.

Restraint

Presence of stringent government regulations

Government rules and policies may have an impact on a bioenergy plant's viability and future course of action. Regulations, targets, commands, impetuses, tax laws, and guidelines are a few examples of policy tools that can be used to impact bio energy activities. Every biomass is unique, and there are differences in how intricate the methods and rules are for each. This factor is preventing the market from expanding.

Opportunity

Rising oil and gas prices

The need for renewable energy sources has been sparked by the rising price of oil and gas. Natural gas, which is utilised extensively over the world, can be replaced by biogas technology. High-efficiency biogas production expansion could create new opportunities for market expansion. The government's efforts to lessen harmful emissions and carbon footprints could spur economic growth. Furthermore, sizable investments made by well-known players to build new biogas facilities may offer the industry significant growth potential.

Threat

High cost of production

The process of converting biogas into refined biogas is expensive. The quality of biogas must match that of natural air, which has a lower carbon dioxide content and a higher methane content. By purifying biogas, this is accomplished. The innovation needs to be optimised because the procedure is expensive. The high cost of the biogas refining process makes further investment to boost output to meet the rising demand potentially very challenging for the market's expansion.

Covid-19 Impact

On the market, the COVID-19 epidemic has had a significant effect. The production process was delayed by the transportation problems. The sudden advent of the pandemic led to an industrial shutdown that completely stopped all manufacturing in the majority of global industry. As a result, it has also affected product demand in applications for heat generation. Slow industrial growth has decreased the need for heating, which has a detrimental impact on the need for biogas.

The chemical scrubber segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The chemical scrubber segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Biogas Anaerobic digestion produces biogas, which is the first step in cleaning. A device called a chemical scrubber employs chemicals to clean up a gas stream of pollutants. Sulfuric acid, HCl, Hg(CNO), and Cl2 are the most prevalent chemical types found in these systems. As they assist in lowering the particle matter concentration of gases produced during energy production, these devices are frequently employed for biogas upgrading.

The municipal & domestic sewage segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The municipal & domestic sewage segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to increasing population and rapid urbanization. Municipal wastewater treatment facilities are among the greatest choices for producing renewable energy because of their affordability and simplicity of installation, among other benefits. Various governments are concentrating on programmes that aim to increase installed capacity at municipal wastewater treatment plants throughout various regions, which is likely to increase product demand.

Region with Largest share

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to population explosion. It has a sizable consumer base, and nations like China and India are independent in the production of renewable energy. Significant elements include favourable regulatory and political support, environmental support, customer support, geopolitical support, agricultural and economic support is driving market growth. Due to all these factors, the global market is projected to grow exponentially.

Region with highest CAGR

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for renewables such as biofuels, biogas, and upgraded biogas. It is a significant area for the production of biogas and is constantly developing new technologies, which may eventually support the expansion of the market. High demand for alternative fuels, strict environmental restrictions, and greater investment in refinery construction are key drivers fostering industry expansion in the area.
