Global Biogas Plant Market Statistics: USD 40.8 GW by 2033

Summary:

• The global biogas plant market size reached 23.3 GW in 2024.
• The market is expected to reach 40.8 GW by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8% during 2025-2033.
• Europe leads the market, accounting for the largest biogas plant market share.
• Medium-to-large-scale digesters hold the majority of the market share in the biogas plant type segment due to their ability to produce higher energy output.
• Agricultural waste exhibits a clear dominance in the biogas plant industry.
• Wet anaerobic digestion remains a dominant segment in the market, allowing for better methane production and more consistent energy generation.
• Electricity generation represents the leading application segment.
• The rising energy demand is a primary driver of the biogas plant market.
• Waste management and the circular economy are reshaping the biogas plant market.

Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Rising energy demand:

The number of people, companies and industries around the world is increasing and the need for new, clean sources of power is increasing. The use of conventional energy like oil, natural gases, and coal is slowly becoming less productive in the current world because of many reasons including; social impacts, availability of the resources, and costs involved in the energy sources. This has led to the demand of renewable energy resources and this has promoted market growth. Biogas is the most special in the renewable energy field. This means it’s a versatile resource for lighting, heating, and even powering cars.

• Environmental concerns:

Top of the list of solutions – biogas is crucial in tackling climate change. Landfills release methane, which is one and a half times more effective gas than CO2. Before these gases are released, biogas plants use the process of anaerobic digestion to collect the methane. Moreover, such plants create electricity and foreign exchange, apart from reducing the use of fossil fuels and thus reducing the impact on the environment. As urban and industrial development grows to a level where it generates waste, there is a need to look for ways to manage organic waste. Biogas plants convert waste materials into natural resources that are usable in daily life. This process reduces the pressure of landfills and, therefore, reduces incineration in the environment.

• Waste management and the circular economy:

It is evident that populations and industries are discharging increased quantities of organic waste including waste food and manure. This surge leads to major wastes management challenges or lapses. However, plants for the production of gaseous fuel, biogas, are a good solution. They help convert waste materials into wealth. With the help of these plants, anaerobic digestion is employed for producing renewable energy from the organic waste. This results into the creation of methane which is perfect for producing electricity and heat or as fuel. They add that apart from eliminating waste disposal issues, this method enhances the circular economy. Furthermore biogas plants help avoid environmental pollution through disposing off waste in the landfill. This action bans methane and also ensures that the waste and climate change goals of the world are met.

Biogas Plant Market Report Segmentation:

Breakup By Biogas Plant Type:

• Small-scale Digesters
• Medium-to-Large-scale Digesters

Medium-to-large-scale digesters dominate the market due to their higher capacity for handling large volumes of organic waste and producing significant amounts of energy, making them ideal for industrial and municipal applications.

Breakup By Feedstock:

• Agricultural Waste
• Industrial Waste
• Sewage Sludge
• Others

Agricultural waste holds the largest market share on account of its abundance, cost-effectiveness, and high methane yield potential.

Breakup By Digester Type:

• Wet Anaerobic Digestion
