Biomethane Market by Feedstock, Production Process, Application, End-use

List of Tables

The Biomethane Market was valued at USD 9.55 billion in 2023, expected to reach USD 9.99 billion in 2024, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.67%, to USD 13.15 billion by 2030.

Biomethane, a renewable form of natural gas derived primarily from organic waste materials, offers significant potential in the push for sustainable energy solutions. It is produced through anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms break down biomass, capturing methane that can be refined to biomethane standards. The necessity for biomethane stems from its ability to contribute towards carbon neutrality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide a renewable energy source, enhancing energy security. Its applications span across various sectors including transportation, where it can power vehicles that traditionally rely on fossil fuels, and energy generation, where it serves as a cleaner alternative to conventional natural gas. The end-use scope largely relates to its applicability in replacing natural gas in industrial processes, residential heating, and even as a feedstock for chemical production.
