바이오 LNG 시장 예측(-2032년) - 원료 제품별, 생산 공정별, 유통 형태별, 용도별, 최종사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bio-LNG Market is accounted for $2.6 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $32.9 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 43.2% during the forecast period. Bio-LNG, or biomethane-based liquefied natural gas, is a renewable fuel derived from the purification and cryogenic liquefaction of biogas produced through anaerobic digestion of organic waste. It offers similar energy density and performance as conventional LNG but with a significantly lower carbon footprint. Bio-LNG is used in heavy-duty transportation, marine fuel, and industrial energy applications as a sustainable alternative. Its compatibility with existing LNG infrastructure enables seamless integration while supporting climate goals and the transition to cleaner energy sources.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Bio-LNG can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80-90% compared to diesel, making it a key renewable fuel for heavy-duty transport and shipping.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing investment in biogas infrastructure

Governments and energy companies are actively directing capital toward the development of biogas upgrading and liquefaction facilities, driving the commercial viability of Bio-LNG. This momentum is fueled by growing climate regulations and national decarbonization roadmaps that promote renewable natural gas. Investments in cryogenic transport systems, storage terminals, and off-grid fueling stations are creating a more integrated supply chain. These infrastructure efforts are pivotal in enabling large-scale Bio-LNG deployment across industrial and mobility sectors.

Restraint:

Limited feedstock availability

Seasonal variation in agricultural residues and restricted access to municipal or industrial biowaste impact output consistency. In several regions, logistical barriers in feedstock collection and transportation also constrain plant operation rates. This challenge is further compounded by the lack of centralized waste management systems in developing countries. Ensuring long-term supply security will be key to maintaining scalability and cost competitiveness of the Bio-LNG market.

Opportunity:

Heavy-duty & long-haul transport

Bio-LNG delivers high energy density and lower CO2 emissions, making it suitable for long-distance, payload-intensive routes. Fleet operators are exploring Bio-LNG-fueled trucks to comply with evolving emissions norms while maintaining operational efficiency. As more refueling infrastructure becomes available, the commercial viability of Bio-LNG as an alternative transport fuel will strengthen.

Threat:

Competition from other green fuels

Bio-LNG faces competition from other green fuels such as green hydrogen, renewable methanol, and ammonia, particularly in the transport and marine sectors. These alternatives are attracting increasing R&D funding and policy incentives, which may redirect investments away from Bio-LNG infrastructure. In addition, certain green fuels offer faster decarbonization pathways or greater scalability potential.

Covid-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic created temporary disruptions in Bio-LNG project development and supply chains due to mobility restrictions and reduced industrial activity. Delays in biogas plant construction permit approvals, and component imports initially slowed market momentum. However, the shift toward energy self-sufficiency and sustainability goals in post-pandemic recovery strategies revitalized interest in low-carbon fuels. These renewed commitments are expected to support steady growth and recovery across regional markets.

The agricultural waste segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The agricultural waste segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period attributed to their widespread availability and favorable gas yield make them a preferred input for biogas production. Countries with large agro-industrial bases are leveraging agricultural waste to reduce methane emissions and support circular economy goals. Innovations in waste pretreatment and digestion efficiency are further enhancing yield and scalability.

The anaerobic digestion (AD) segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the anaerobic digestion (AD) segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate due to its proven efficiency in converting organic matter into biogas, which can then be upgraded into Bio-LNG. This biological process is favored for its adaptability across various substrates including agricultural residues, wastewater sludge, and organic industrial waste. Increasing deployment of modular AD units and advancements in microbial optimization are improving output performance.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market share driven by strong agricultural production, growing energy demand, and government initiatives for rural bioenergy. Nations such as China and India are scaling up bioenergy infrastructure to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and mitigate urban waste challenges. Collaborative projects between public entities and private players are accelerating facility development.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR owing to aggressive climate targets, technological innovation, and an expanding renewable gas ecosystem. The U.S. and Canada are investing in advanced biogas upgrading facilities and establishing Bio-LNG corridors for freight mobility. Policy instruments such as Low Carbon Fuel Standards (LCFS) and Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) offer financial incentives that drive production scale-up.
