Biogas Global Market Report 2026

Biogas, a biofuel formed from organic waste decomposition, is generated through anaerobic digestion. This process, occurring without oxygen, produces cleaner fuel suitable for cooking, lighting, and electricity while reducing methane emissions.

The primary biogas sources include municipal, industrial, and agricultural waste. The anaerobic digestion of organic municipal solid waste (OFMSW) generates biogas used for energy production, reducing landfill waste. Biogas applications span residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, utilized for power generation, heat production, and cogeneration.

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 on biogas equipment, anaerobic digestion systems, and waste treatment components have impacted the biogas market by increasing production and import costs, particularly in regions such as Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific. Residential, commercial, and industrial biogas applications are most affected due to higher equipment and installation costs. However, these tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing, promoted cost-effective waste-to-energy solutions, and spurred innovations in biogas upgrading and distribution systems, supporting market growth.

The biogas market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $87.66 billion in 2025 to $93.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in organic waste collection and management, government incentives for renewable energy, rising demand for clean cooking and electricity, development of small-scale biogas plants, awareness about methane emission reduction.

The biogas market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $119.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of large-scale biogas facilities, integration with smart grids and IoT-based monitoring, adoption in industrial and commercial heat generation, rising investments in renewable energy infrastructure, development of advanced biogas upgrading technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of advanced anaerobic digestion technologies, expansion of municipal waste-to-biogas projects, increasing use of agricultural waste for biogas production, growing applications of biogas in residential and commercial sectors, integration of biogas with cogeneration systems.

The biogas market is poised for growth, supported by an upsurge in research and development activities. Biofuels, derived from hydrocarbon-rich living organisms, are pivotal in the energy generation landscape. Biofuels, including biodiesel, biogas, and syngas, are combusted to produce energy through thermal, chemical, or biochemical conversion processes. The ongoing research and development endeavors encompass manufacturing, processing, testing, and inspection of materials, employing diverse technologies to enhance product quality. A notable example is the January 2023 initiative by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), allocating over $100 million in funding to expand U.S. biofuels production. This strategic move aligns with the Biden administration's efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector and achieve climate objectives. The DOE's plan entails awarding $118 million to 17 projects aimed at accelerating biofuels production from biomass, including agricultural waste, soybean oil, and animal fats. This funding supplements the over $500 million invested by the DOE in bioenergy and biorefinery research and development over the past two years, affirming the pivotal role of research and development in propelling the biogas market.

Companies within the biogas market are strategically advancing their technologies to fortify their market position. An exemplar of this strategic focus is Volvo Trucks, a Sweden-based truck manufacturer, which, in February 2023, introduced a robust gas-powered truck capable of running on liquified biogas. Specifically, the Volvo FH (Forward control High entry) and FM (Forward control Medium height cab) gas-powered trucks witnessed a substantial power boost, with an additional 500 horsepower supplementing their existing 420 and 460 horsepower engines. Moreover, these gas engines underwent noteworthy technological enhancements, leading to a remarkable improvement in fuel efficiency, reaching up to 4%. Complementing these advancements, a new gas tank, expanded by 10%, contributes to an extended operational range for these innovative gas-powered trucks. This initiative underscores the industry's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies for enhanced performance and sustainability in the biogas market.

In February 2023, Shell plc, a UK-based oil and gas company, acquired Nature Energy Biogas A/S for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Shell's position as a leader in the renewable natural gas (RNG) sector, enhancing its integrated RNG value chain on a global scale. Shell aims to broaden its portfolio of operational plants, associated feedstock supplies, and innovative technologies for RNG production. This strategic initiative aligns with Shell's Powering Progress strategy, allowing the company to profitably expand its low-carbon offerings across multiple sectors. Nature Energy Biogas A/S, based in Denmark, specializes in producing biogas from agricultural, industrial, and household waste as a replacement for fossil fuels.
