세계의 합성 천연가스(SNG) 시장 : 산업 규모, 점유율, 동향, 기회, 예측 - 기술별, 원료 공급원별, 용도별, 지역별 부문, 경쟁(2020-2030년)

The Global Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) Market was valued at USD 21.52 Billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 78.78 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 23.96% during the forecast period. SNG is gaining momentum as a sustainable energy alternative, driven by global efforts to reduce carbon emissions, enhance energy security, and diversify fuel sources. Produced through technologies like biomass and coal gasification, anaerobic digestion, and power-to-gas systems, SNG serves as a cleaner substitute for conventional natural gas across sectors such as power generation, transportation, and industry.

Governments across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America are supporting the market with favorable policies, renewable energy targets, and funding for decarbonization initiatives. Biomass gasification is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to utilize various organic and municipal waste streams. Similarly, power-to-gas systems are expanding in regions with surplus renewable electricity, enabling the storage of renewable energy as synthetic methane. Advancements in carbon capture, methanation, and process integration continue to improve the commercial viability of SNG, encouraging new investments and infrastructure development globally.

Key Market Drivers

Rising Environmental Regulations & Decarbonization Mandates

Stringent environmental policies and global decarbonization goals are driving the adoption of synthetic natural gas. Over 40 nations have pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, spurring demand for low-carbon energy alternatives. The European Union, for instance, has increased carbon intensity standards for fuels and expanded renewable quotas in transportation, encouraging the use of synthetic fuels. Similarly, blending allowances for SNG in gas grids have risen in countries like Germany and the UK, supporting broader integration. In North America, financial incentives and tax credits have increased for renewable gas projects, further enhancing the market outlook. As regulations tighten, industries are replacing a growing share of their conventional natural gas consumption with synthetic alternatives. This policy-driven demand has led to a rapid rise in SNG project deployments globally, reflecting the sector's growing strategic importance in meeting climate targets.

Key Market Challenges

High Production & Capital Costs

Despite its environmental advantages, SNG remains cost-prohibitive in many regions due to high capital and operational expenditures. The infrastructure needed for SNG production-such as gasifiers, methanation units, and green hydrogen electrolyzers-requires significant investment. Operating costs are further elevated by the use of expensive inputs like captured CO2 and renewable electricity. The conversion process is also less energy-efficient, with losses ranging between 30-40%, which affects economic returns. Many projects fail to achieve the high operating hours required to amortize costs and compete with traditional natural gas, particularly in areas where fossil fuel prices remain low. Without strong government subsidies or favorable carbon pricing mechanisms, these high costs continue to be a major barrier to widespread market adoption.

Key Market Trends

Growing Use of Organic Waste and Biomass Feedstock

The use of organic and biomass waste as a primary feedstock for SNG production is becoming a prominent trend. With increasing focus on waste-to-energy and circular economy models, governments and industries are investing in anaerobic digestion and gasification technologies that convert food waste, agricultural residues, and manure into methane-rich gas. These decentralized systems are especially attractive in rural areas and municipalities where local waste streams can be repurposed into clean energy. Biomass-based SNG also aligns with carbon neutrality goals, as it can be considered carbon-neutral or even carbon-negative depending on system boundaries. Tighter landfill regulations and bans on organic waste disposal are further accelerating this shift. Countries with strong agricultural sectors and biomass availability are poised to lead in bio-SNG production, fostering local energy resilience and new revenue streams for waste processors and farmers alike.
