Europe Biomass Power Market Research Report Forecast to 2027

Market Overview

The demand for biomass power is growing significantly in the Europe market owing to the ability to ensure reliable long-term operations for synchronous machines.

The Europe biomass power market is projected to grow at an 8.35% CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2027. In 2020, the Europe biomass power market was dominated by Germany with a 24.17% share, followed by France and UK with shares of 17.49% and 16.41%, respectively. Biomass power produces electricity from chemical energy that is contained in organic matter. Various types of biomass are suitable for power production, including wood waste, energy crops, and agriculture residues. It is a type of power generated from renewable organic waste that would otherwise be burned or left as fodder in forest fires. In biomass power plants, the feedstock is burned to produce steam that helps turn the turbine to generate electricity, which provides heat to homes and industries.

The Europe biomass power market is anticipated to grow substantially during the forecast period owing to the increased demand for clean energy generation across the world to minimize reliability on fossil fuels for power. Furthermore, the rising demand for power across various end-use sectors is also expected to contribute to the growth of the Europe biomass power market during the forecast period. However, high capital requirements and operating costs associated with biomass power generation are expected to restrain the growth of the biomass power market during the forecast period. Nevertheless, favorable government policies and regulations worldwide are expected to create lucrative opportunities for vendors in the biomass power market.
