North America Biomass Power Market Growth Prospects 2024-2032

North America Biomass Power Market Growth Prospects 2024-2032



As per Triton’s research report, the biomass power market in North America is estimated to expand in terms of revenue at a CAGR of 6.06% during the forecast period 2024-2032.

The biomass power market in North America is experiencing significant growth due to increasing demand for renewable energy sources, supportive government policies, and advancements in biomass conversion technologies. Biomass power is being adopted across various industries, including manufacturing, power generation, and waste management, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. The utilization of organic materials such as agricultural residues, forestry by-products, and organic waste contributes to a circular economy and energy diversification in the region.

Countries studied are the United States and Canada.

The United States holds the largest market share, achieving around $14027.09 million in 2023.

According to the US Energy Information Administration’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, renewable energy is projected to supply 25% of electricity generation and biomass electricity generation is estimated to reach 24.6 billion kWh in the next year.

Biomass is a critical renewable resource due to its ability to provide continuous, reliable baseload power, unlike intermittent renewables such as solar or wind, which makes biomass a valuable asset in maintaining grid stability.

The biomass power market growth is propelled by federal and state policies that encourage renewable energy adoption, such as tax incentives, renewable portfolio standards, and grants for biomass projects. The abundance of biomass feedstock, including agricultural residues and municipal solid waste, provides ample resources for energy production in the US.

Biomass Power Market Forecast for Canada

Canada’s biomass power market is experiencing notable growth, driven by the country’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable energy solutions. The Canadian government supports biomass energy through policies and incentives, such as the Renewable Energy Deployment Initiative and provincial renewable energy targets. The country’s vast forest resources provide abundant biomass feedstock, including wood chips, pellets, and forestry residues. Companies are also investing in advanced biomass conversion technologies to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact. The market growth is further supported by collaborations between stakeholders to develop large-scale biomass power projects.

The studied market is categorized into technology, feedstock, and application. The technology segment comprises co-firing & Combined Heat and Power (CHP), combustion, Landfill Gas (LFG), anaerobic digestion, and gasification. Landfill Gas (LFG) systems contribute to waste management efficiency and sustainability, aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and transition to renewable energy sources. It harnesses methane-rich gas generated from decomposing organic waste in landfills to produce energy. By capturing and utilizing LFG, this technology not only generates electricity and heat but also mitigates greenhouse gas emissions that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere.
