The global Biogas market revenue was valued at USD 170.89 billion in 2025 and is expected to attain around USD 274.84 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.33%. The market is propelled by expanding government policies and infrastructure investments with rising market interest in sustainable alternatives.

Market Overview

The production of biogas occurs through the anaerobic breakdown of organic materials as it includes various energy sources such as agricultural wastes, animal wastes, food waste, and municipal sewage matter. Organic compounds decompose through microorganisms under non-oxygenated environments to generate methane and carbon dioxide.

The biogas market plays an essential role in driving environmental sustainability and emission reduction to support the modern world's operations. The growing food production supporting population expansion creates organic waste that turns into biogas through bioreactor technology. Government institutions across the globe support biogas as an approved renewable technology that helps them achieve their targets of diminishing fossil fuel consumption and reducing emissions.

Report Highlights

• By source, the municipal segment captured the biggest biogas market share in 2024. Anaerobic digesters operate to process municipal waste components made from food scraps, yard debris, and other organic materials to generate biogas. The industrial segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR from 2025 to 2034. The demand for wastewater treatment in the industrial sector is increasing.
• By feedstock, the organic residue and waste segment will hold the largest market share in 2024. Organic residues and waste exist in categories including biowaste, municipal and sewage waste, agricultural waste, and other types. The energy crops segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. Agricultural residues from corn wheat and soybean maintain high levels of availability for biogas production through digestion.
• By application, the electricity segment will hold the largest market share in 2024. The production of electricity from biogas occurs through turbine or gas engine operation and provides power for residence and commercial use, and enables grid distribution for community-wide use. The upgraded biogas segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. Industry demand for biofuels in automotive applications and other fields has made upgraded biogas possible through biomethane production by eliminating H2S, water, CO2, and multiple contaminants from the original biogas source.

Market Trends

Growing Electricity Demand and Clean Energy Transition

The global power requirements, which increased because of industrialization and urbanization growth, have made biogas establish itself as a fundamental renewable method for producing electricity. The energy sector requires sustainable alternatives because biogas serves as an important renewable energy source to support this transition.

Government Support and Infrastructure Development

Multiple governments around the world are implementing biogas adoption through programs that support infrastructure development and various support initiatives. The sustainable energy transitions strengthen as worldwide developments of bio-LNG production sites and biomethane plants with carbon capture systems expand the framework of the biogas industry.

Focus on Sustainable Environmental Practices

Biogas plays a vital environmental role through its emission reduction of greenhouse gases during renewable energy generation with the production of organic fertilizers that support sustainable development with environmental protection.

Regional Insights

Europe dominated the global biogas market with the largest market share in 2024 due to the advance technologies, strong refinery, and energy industries investments. Germany maintains its leadership position across Europe by operating the most biogas plants alongside Italy, France, and the United Kingdom, which together generate a substantial market impact. The European market demonstrates success through its use of agricultural waste, municipal solid waste, and industrial organic waste. Industry development continues due to experienced operators and advanced technology providers driving increased adoption and innovation in the market.

• In February 2025, a UK-Swedish pharmaceutical firm, AstraZeneca, along with Future Biogas, established the UK's biggest subsidy-free biomethane plant. The industries can switch to using sustainable energy through operational methods without governmental financial assistance.

North America is projected to host the fastest-growing biogas market. Advanced technologies and strong governmental support enable the region to convert waste materials into energy sources. The combination of waste from animals, municipalities, and industrial organic waste produces biogas, which simultaneously addresses environmental issues while creating a sustainable energy supply. The biogas market benefits from public funding and business investments that enhance sectoral development. The adoption of cleaning policies and sustainable measures allows businesses to build biogas facilities.

• In March 2025, the American Biogas Council established Biogas CAT through its launch to enable users to calculate biogas project emissions for the complete lifecycle.
