The global biomass power market size is expected to reach USD 203.61 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2024 to 2030. The growing concerns about Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions have resulted in favorable policies and regulations for renewable energy, which has been the key factor driving the growth of this market. The COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the market growth globally owing to the disruptions in the supply chain, which resulted in delays for some projects. The power demand has declined from commercial and industrial end-users in the non-essential category due to the closure of operations during the lockdown.
These factors have resulted in delays in the construction of new biomass power plants and reduced power supply from existing biomass power plants. Solid biofuel has emerged as the dominant feedstock segment in the market owing to its easy availability. Moreover, it is simpler to use than liquid biofuel and biogas in power generation applications. The combustion technology segment accounted for the largest market share in 2021, in terms of revenue. The growth of this segment can be attributed to lower costs of combustion technology than anaerobic digestion and gasification technologies. Europe has emerged as the major regional market owing to the presence of supportive policies and plans, coupled with the announcement of the phasing-out of coal-based power plants by the leading European countries, such as the U.K., Germany, and France.
