바이오가스 시장(2024년)

Biogas is a renewable technology that can lessen the impact on the environment as an alternative to fossil fuels. However, its growth will need to increase drastically if it is to meet the IEA's NZE targets.

Humans, directly or indirectly, generate over 105B tonnes of organic waste globally each year, all of which release harmful methane and other GHG emissions directly into the atmosphere as they decompose. Today, only 2% of such waste is treated and recycled. This percentage only represents a fraction of the biogas and biomethane potential, which according to the IEA can supply 20% of worldwide gas demand. Biogas and biomethane are renewable energy technologies that can both reduce the GHG emissions from untreated waste, as well as turn waste into energy by using pre-existing natural gas infrastructure and pipelines. The market outlook for biogas shows steady growth, but in order to meet the IEA NZE Scenario 2030 targets, the growth pace will have to dramatically increase. This can only be achieved with much stronger government support, which needs to make investing in the technology more appealing to private investors. The regions and countries at the forefront of biogas and biomethane production are Europe, followed by the US and China. Developing economies are showing growth potential and the ability to reach NZE targets will hinge upon their expansion and investment in biogas infrastructure. Some oil and gas companies have also been investing in biogas and biomethane technologies. TotalEnergies stands out as the oil and gas company that has the most active partnerships in the biogas industry.
