Biogas upgrading equipment refers to the machinery and technology used to purify raw biogas into high-quality biomethane or renewable natural gas (RNG), suitable for injection into the natural gas grid or use as a transportation fuel. They are essential for converting biogas from organic waste into a clean, renewable energy resource used in applications ranging from power generation and heating to vehicle fueling and industrial processes.
The main types of biogas upgrading equipment are chemical scrubber, water scrubber, pressure swing adsorption (PSA), and membrane. Chemical scrubber is a device used to remove harmful gases or particulates from industrial exhaust streams or process gases. The feedstock includes municipal solid waste, agricultural residues, wastewater sludge, food waste, industrial organic waste, and others are used by wastewater treatment plants, landfills, agricultural digesters, industrial facilities, commercial and residential, and other end-users.

The biogas upgrading equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.17 billion in 2024 to $2.52 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand to reduce co2 emissions, increasing demand for renewable natural gas, rising investments in biogas infrastructure, increasing rural development initiatives, growing public awareness about the benefits of biogas as a renewable energy.
The biogas upgrading equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing environmental awareness, rising greenhouse gas emissions, rising demand for cleaner fuel, increasing renewable energy policies, demand for sustainable fuel. Major trends in the forecast period include new product innovation, technological advancements, focus on green energy solutions, integration with waste management systems, and integration with power-to-gas technologies.
The increasing demand for renewable energy sources is expected to propel the growth of the biogas upgrading equipment market going forward. Environmental, economic, technological, and policy factors drive the growing demand for renewable energy sources, signaling a shift towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future. Biogas upgrading equipment plays a critical role in unlocking the potential of biogas as a renewable energy source, offering a sustainable solution for organic waste management, and contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient energy system. For instance, in April 2023, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based Federal Statistical System, in 2022, renewable energy production and consumption reached record highs, accounting for approximately 13% of total energy production and consumption, which is equivalent to 13.40 quads and 13.18 quads, respectively. Hydropower generation and geothermal energy use also saw a 4% increase in 2022 compared to the previous year. Therefore, increasing demand for renewable energy sources is driving the growth of the biogas upgrading equipment market.
Major companies operating in the biogas upgrading equipment market are increasing their focus on developing innovative products, such as VALKYRIE ECO and VALKYRIE ECO FLEX H2S for agricultural biogas and landfill gas (LFG) operations. VALKYRIE ECO is a fixed gas detector that provides continuous monitoring of H2S levels in industrial environments where the presence of this gas can pose a health and safety risk, whereas VALKYRIE ECO FLEX H2S is a portable gas detector that offers flexibility in monitoring H2S levels in different work environments. For instance, in May 2023, Streamline Innovations Inc., a US-based manufacturer of gas detection and monitoring equipment, launched VALKYRIE ECO and VALKYRIE ECO FLEX H2S, designed for H2S treatment in biogas-to-RNG (renewable natural gas) upgrading applications, offering an efficient and green H2S removal solution for upgrading biogas to RNG. Both solutions remove H2S in an environmentally friendly manner using TALON, a non-toxic and biodegradable redox chemistry. They are engineered to function efficiently in lower gas pressure settings, commonly encountered in landfill gas and biogas applications. Crucially, the modular design of the VALKYRIE ECO FLEX model enables users to gradually increase treating capacity based on different LFG gas stream quantities.
In February 2023, Shell Petroleum NV, a Netherlands-based oil and gas company, acquired Nature Energy Biogas A/S for $2 billion. This acquisition expands Shell's portfolio, integrated Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) value chain support, and expertise in biogas plant technology, significantly impacting the biogas upgrading equipment market with potential advancements and efficiency enhancements. Nature Energy Biogas A/S is a Denmark-based company that is involved in the production and upgrading of biogas.
