Biogas Plant Global Market Report 2025

A biogas plant is a facility designed to create anaerobic conditions for the digestion process, converting waste into valuable resources such as sustainable fertilizer and biogas.

The main types of biogas plants are small-scale digesters and medium-to-large-scale digesters. Small-scale digesters are ideal for processing modest amounts of organic and food waste, with a production capacity of up to 80 kW (Kilowatt-hours). The various types of digesters employed include dry anaerobic digesters and wet anaerobic digesters. Diverse feedstocks, such as energy crops, agricultural residues, and bio-municipal waste, are utilized in these plants for applications in power generation, heat generation, and transportation.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the utilities sector, particularly across power generation, grid modernization, and renewable energy initiatives. Increased duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems are driving up both capital and operational expenses for utility companies, prompting many to delay projects or pass higher costs on to consumers through increased energy rates. The water and waste management sectors are similarly affected, as tariffs inflate the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Moreover, retaliatory tariffs from key trading partners have disrupted the supply of critical raw materials-such as rare earth elements vital for clean energy technologies-posing further challenges to the shift toward sustainable energy. In response, the sector is increasingly focusing on domestic procurement, digital transformation, and efficiency-enhancing innovations to control rising costs while safeguarding energy reliability and meeting regulatory demands.

This biogas plant market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

The biogas plant market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.2 billion in 2024 to $4.6 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to regulatory milestone, urban waste management initiatives, early market development, pioneering biogas applications, community and rural initiatives, public awareness and education.

The biogas plant market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.91 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to bio-CNG and biofuel growth, urban infrastructure development, circular economy strategies, waste management focus, integration with agriculture. Major trends in the forecast period include renewable energy demand, government incentives and policies, climate change mitigation goals, rural development initiatives, technological advancements.

The forecast of 10.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The construction of biogas plants in the U.S. is expected to be impacted by tariffs on critical input materials like control panels and digester linings, heavily sourced from European countries. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The biogas plant market is experiencing significant growth propelled by the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources globally. Renewable energy, derived from natural sources, includes bioenergy sources like biogas and biomethane. Major developing countries are actively transitioning to renewable energy due to its lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional sources. Biogas plants play a crucial role in this transition, contributing to the generation of renewable energy. As per data from the International Energy Agency, the global renewable energy share is projected to reach 33% by 2025, underscoring the escalating reliance on renewable sources and driving the growth of the biogas plant market.

The biogas plant market is witnessing growth driven by the imperative need to address the escalating levels of CO2 emissions. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, primarily from human activities like burning fossil fuels and industrial processes, pose environmental challenges. Biogas plants emerge as a crucial solution, mitigating CO2 emissions by converting organic waste into a renewable energy source. According to the International Energy Agency, global CO2 emissions from industrial processes and energy combustion increased by 0.9% (321 Mt) in 2022. This alarming increase underscores the pivotal role of biogas plants in combating the rising carbon footprint and driving market expansion.

Strategic partnerships are emerging as a prominent trend in the biogas plant market, with major companies actively seeking collaborations to fortify their market positions. In June 2022, Belenergia s.a., a France-based renewable energy project developer, joined forces with PRODEVAL, a French biogas producer and treatment company. This collaborative effort allows the exchange of expertise within the biogas sector. Furthermore, in September 2023, Bilfinger SE, a German engineering and industrial services company, entered into a partnership with Reverion GmbH. This strategic collaboration focuses on commercializing and industrializing Reverion's innovative fuel cell-based modular power plant, introducing an efficient and ecological method of energy production to the market. Such strategic partnerships underscore the collaborative growth approach within the biogas plant market.

Major players in the biogas plant market are strategically investing in facilities dedicated to biogas plant manufacturing. This involves the physical location where components for biogas plants are produced, assembled, and fabricated. For instance, in June 2023, JSFC Sistema, a Russia-based diversified investment company, launched a biogas plant manufacturing facility. This facility has the capacity to produce 100,000 prefabricated biogas plants annually, catering to the needs of large dairies and food industries as well as small-scale farmers.

In November 2022, Shell Petroleum Company, a UK-based oil industry firm, acquired Nature Energy Biogas Company for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Shell Petroleum to establish a comprehensive renewable natural gas value chain and broaden its low-carbon offerings, aligning with its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. This strategic move is anticipated to boost earnings and positively impact Shell's financial performance. Nature Energy Biogas Company, based in Denmark, specializes in converting organic waste into renewable energy through anaerobic digestion, leveraging natural processes to produce energy.
