Biomass Gasification Global Market Report 2026

Biomass gasification is an established method converting biomass into hydrogen and various byproducts without combustion, utilizing controlled processes involving heat, steam, and oxygen. This technique transforms carbonaceous materials from biomass or fossil fuels into gases such as nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. It aids in reducing soil and water pollution, benefits the environment, and generates organic fertilizers.

The main categories in the biomass gasification market include moving/fixed beds, fluidized beds, entrained, and others. Fluidized bed technology involves suspending small solid particles in motion using an upward flow of gas. Biomass gasification sources include solid biomass, biogas, municipal waste, liquid biomass, among others. Its applications span chemicals, liquid fuels, as well as power and gas fuels.

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.

Tariffs are impacting the biomass gasification market by increasing the cost of imported reactors, refractory materials, pressure vessels, gas cleaning units, and control systems used across fixed bed, fluidized bed, and entrained flow gasifiers. Power generation and chemical production facilities in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on specialized imported equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on exported gasification systems. These tariffs are elevating capital project costs and lengthening project commissioning timelines. However, they are also encouraging local manufacturing of gasifiers, regional engineering partnerships, and innovation in cost-optimized and modular gasification plant designs.

This biomass gasification 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 biomass gasification market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $125.47 billion in 2025 to $135.02 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government support for renewable energy projects, increasing utilization of agricultural residues, rising need for cleaner fuel alternatives, development of decentralized power generation, adoption of biomass-based chemical production.

The biomass gasification market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $181.57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of hydrogen production initiatives, increasing investments in circular economy projects, rising demand for low-carbon fuels, scaling of municipal waste-to-energy facilities, technological improvements in gasifier efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of waste-to-energy infrastructure, rising adoption of advanced gasification reactors, growing integration of process control and monitoring systems, increasing focus on syngas quality optimization, deployment of modular biomass gasification plants.

The increasing emphasis on clean energy sources is expected to drive the growth of the biomass gasification market in the coming years. Clean energy is derived from renewable, sustainable sources that have minimal environmental impact and produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions. The shift toward clean energy is primarily motivated by the urgent need to combat climate change, as these sources generate electricity with reduced carbon footprints. Biomass gasification contributes to this demand by converting organic materials into renewable syngas, which can be used for electricity generation and fuel production. For example, in January 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that planned solar initiatives are projected to increase the electric power sector's solar capacity by 38%, rising from 95 gigawatts (GW) at the end of 2023 to 131 GW by the end of 2024. Consequently, the growing focus on clean energy is expected to propel the biomass gasification market.

Key companies and research institutions in the biomass gasification market are increasingly employing advanced computational modeling techniques, including AI-enabled hybrid models, to improve prediction accuracy, optimize reactor performance, and accelerate large-scale deployment. These next-generation approaches combine traditional simulation tools with machine-learning methods such as neural networks, enabling more precise syngas composition predictions, enhanced process optimization, and reduced computational requirements compared to conventional thermodynamic or CFD models. For instance, in July 2025, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), a UK-based scientific publisher, released a study titled "Recent advances and computational approaches in biomass gasifier modeling: from thermodynamics to AI-driven techniques," conducted by renewable-energy researchers. The study demonstrated that AI-driven and hybrid models can accurately simulate hydrogen-enriched syngas production from diverse biomass feedstocks, offering superior precision, computational efficiency, and scalability over traditional methods.

In January 2023, Kejuruteraan Asastera Bhd (KAB), a Malaysia-based engineering firm, acquired Future Biomass Gasification Sdn Bhd (FBG) for $3.2 million.
