BIOGAS UPGRADING EQUIPMENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global biogas upgrading equipment market size was estimated at USD 2.24 billion in 2024 and expected to rise to USD 7.81 billion by 2033, experiencing a CAGR of 14.9% during the forecast period.

Biogas upgrading equipment has been developed to distinguish methane via carbon dioxide and various other gases, resulting in concentrated biogas that is nearly 100% methane. Furthermore, it assures that all biomethane standards are suitable for other purposes, such as CNG car fueling or infusion into a natural gas distribution system.

The market continues to grow due to fast increase in industries including marine, oil and gas, power generation, construction, automotive, transportation, and chemicals expansion.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Interruption in Services to Deplete Market Growth 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, biogas upgrading equipment experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 had a significant impact on biogas upgrading equipment industrial growth. Furthermore, the governments are emphasizing the use of renewable energies for power generation. For example, the renewable energy regulation established guidelines enabling the European Union to meet its 32% renewables objective by 2030. During the projection period, such factors are likely to drive consumer interest in technologies used for clean energy generation, such as biogas. As a result, the worldwide market is predicted to expand in the forecast future.  

LATEST TRENDS

Technological Developments to Stimulate Market Development

The primary market growth trends include technological developments in upgrading biogas techniques and equipment. Investments in biogas processing methods and equipment is encouraged by government funding and increased interest in the usage of biogas. This has resulted in the ongoing refinement of existing technologies as well as the development of new ones, including cryogenic refining, directly methane enhancement, ecological lung, and so on.

The upgraded biogas's energy intensity increased by up to 99% decreasing the emission of methane in the environment. Companies can now manufacture fuel that is gaseous by melting dry raw materials in a hydrolyzer utilizing the Schmack pre-treatment method or a specific BIOFerm fermentation process, thanks to recent technological breakthroughs.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Emissions of Greenhouse Gases to Aid Market Expansion

The demand for fuel that is more environmentally friendly is significantly driving biogas upgrading equipment market expansion. Biogas, compared to oil or natural gas, is a fuel that is renewable. It is obtained from biodegradable materials and garbage, then recycled and purified to be utilized as a fuel in a variety of applications.

Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases and a desire to diversify energy sources are driving worldwide demand for more effective and cleaner fuel alternatives including biogas, for instance biodiesel, and ethanol by means of research and development. Biogas can be utilized as a substitute for natural gas. Unlike natural gas, that can become internationally volatile due to price fluctuations, biogas, when utilized as a fuel alternative, helps to avoid natural gas use, so improving the economy. 

Water Scrubbing Segment to Foster Industry Progress

During the projection period, the water scrubber segment's market share will expand significantly. Water scrubbing is the standard method for removing carbon dioxide from biogas in order to produce high-quality biomethane. Water is used as a solvent in this method to extract carbon dioxide. Because carbon dioxide is significantly more soluble in water than methane, the amount of methane of the gas exiting the scrubber rose. This method produces around 98% pure biomethane. The method also eliminates all residues of hydrogen sulfide.

Because it is simple, water scrubbing remains the earliest and most often used method. It is readily accessible in capacities that vary from 0.2 to 0.06 kWh/Nm3. The lower than 2% carbon reduction procedure is less expensive to operate and works reliably at any pace of flow. Water washing technique is continually evolving and is one of the most effective technologies for usage in a variety of spaces. As a result, this technology is in high demand compared to other innovations, which is likely to drive the expansion of the water purifier sector in the worldwide biogas upgrading equipment market growth throughout the forecast period.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Cost of Manufacturing the Finished Gas to Limit the Market Evolution

The biggest impediment to market and biogas upgrading equipment growth is the expensive nature of manufacture. The process of transforming biogas into purified biogas is costly. Biogas is composed of 30%- 40% carbon dioxide, natural air, and 1% carbon dioxide. The purity of biogas must be comparable to that of natural air, with a drop in carbon dioxide and an increase in methane concentration. This is accomplished by the refinement of biogas. Because the process is costly, innovation needs to be optimized. This can be accomplished by guaranteeing high methane production efficiency and decreasing energy use.

Because the cost of biogas refining is expensive, higher investment to raise production to meet rising demand may provide a significant obstacle to the growth of the worldwide biogas upgrading equipment market share over the forecast period.

BIOGAS UPGRADING EQUIPMENT MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

Favorable Support Provided by the Government in Europe to Support Market Advancement

During the projection period, Europe is expected to contribute 41% of worldwide market growth. Bioenergy derived from environmentally friendly sources is critical to meeting the EU's ambitious aim of 20% of ultimate energy consumption. The majority of Europeans are still unaware of the positive effects of biomethane in automobiles. This is changing, however, as a result of favorable support circumstances provided by various governments. Because of its limited reserves, Germany is heavily reliant on gas and oil imports. The country acquires 97% of its crude oil along with more over 85% of the gas it uses.

As a result, the government strongly promotes the adoption of sources of clean energy in every industry to increase energy security, which has spurred the expansion of green energy sources including biofuels, biogas, and processed biogas.
