Biogas Upgrading market size was valued at US$ 980.2 Million in 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 7.03% from 2026 to 2033.
Biogas upgrading technology is able to process raw biogas and convert it to high-quality biomethane. Raw biogas has high amounts of methane and carbon dioxide with small percentages of contaminants like hydrogen sulphide and water vapour that have to be removed to enrich the percentage of methane. The upgrading process typically employs techniques such as water scrubbing, pressure swing adsorption, membranes or chemical absorption to separate out the carbon dioxide from methane. The upgraded biomethane can be injected into the natural gas grid or used as a source of fuel for the vehicles, which will result in a reduced level of greenhouse gas emissions. This technology helps in building the circular economy through transforming organic waste into renewable energy resources. As biogas upgrading converts waste into renewable biomethane.
Biogas Upgrading Market- Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for renewable energy growth to propel market demand
The increasing demand for renewable energy is a key driver of the Biogas Upgrading market, as governments and businesses are opting for alternative solutions to traditional fossil fuel sources. For instance, in September 2025, according to the European Commission, the country produced a total of 117,619 GWh of electricity, which makes up 44.7% of the total amount of electricity generated in the country. The report notes that there is a steady growth in the amount of renewable energy used in the country, with significant increases in solar photovoltaic and wind capacities. This will continue to increase as the country continues to invest into renewable energies via their energy and climate plans.
The Global Biogas Upgrading market is segmented on the basis of Technology, Feedstock, Capacity, End User, and Region.
Water scrubbing holds a significant share in the Biogas Upgrading market since it helps in eliminating CO2 and other impurities present in the raw biogas, and also for the reason that it has an easy operation process, wide usage, and the ability to produce biomethane. In March 2025, Bright Renewables applied the new membrane technology of Evonik to improve biogas upgrading plants through process efficiency and make it easy to assemble the system. Traditional technology such as water scrubbing is integrated with new membrane technology to make the process efficient. This will help in generating pure methane at lower costs and meeting renewable energy needs.
Biogas Upgrading Market- Geographical Insights
North America's Biogas Upgrading market is driven by the supportive presence of proper waste management systems and supportive infrastructure along with renewable energy policies. For instance, in December 2025, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Gov), there was a generation of 292.4 million tonnes of municipal solid waste, which shows that the US has a good waste disposal facility in place. Out of this waste amount, 69 million tonnes were recycled, and 24.9 million tonnes were composted, making up 32.1% of waste by recycling and composting percentage of 32.1%. Moreover, 34.6 million tonnes of waste were combusted with energy recovery, whereas 146.2 million tonnes were disposed of through landfill. These figures highlight the use of recycling, composting, energy recovery, and landfilling in the U.S. waste management system.
The Biogas Upgrading market is characterised by growing demand for renewable energy and sustainable gas solutions, with key players like MalmbergGruppen AB, PRODEVAL SAS, Waga Energy SA, Wartsila Corporation and Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. focusing on their research and development initiatives along with the development of new products. In October 2025, Waga Energy completed construction of a renewable natural gas plant with the Waste Commission of Scott County and Linwood Mining and Minerals in Iowa. It would be responsible for the growth of landfill gas to renewable natural gas. Thus, strategic alliances and facility expansions would aid in transitioning to renewable natural gas.
In June 2026, PRODEVAL signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Terega Solutions in order to assist in deploying bioCO2 capture and valorisation projects faster in France. The company will use its V'COOL(R) technology that will allow capturing and liquefying bioCO2 produced in anaerobic digestion.
In December 2025, Wartsila decided to sell its Gas Solutions business unit, which involves biogas and gas processing solutions, to Mutares SE & Co. KGaA. This sale process was finalised in June 2026.
In September 2025, Wartsila Gas Solutions received an order for supplying the entire solution for producing bioLNG at a new biogas plant in Eskilstuna, Sweden. The plant will be able to produce up to 17 tonnes of bioLNG per day.
