According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled,” Waste-derived Biogas Market by Source and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030,” the global waste-derived biogas market size was valued at $52.9 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $126.2 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2021 to 2030.
Biogas, a renewable energy source derived primarily from waste materials through anaerobic digestion, offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. In commercial applications, waste feedstock is the most prevalent raw material for biogas production. Moreover, the growing use of agricultural residues, sewage, and industrial waste is expected to accelerate the growth of the waste-derived biogas market over the forecast period.
A key driver of this market expansion is the rising awareness of effective waste management practices among farmers, communities, and industries. As both developed and developing countries increasingly transition from traditional, nonrenewable energy sources to cleaner alternatives, biogas emerges as a viable and eco-friendly option, further propelling market growth.

The waste-derived biogas market is experiencing robust growth, propelled by a confluence of environmental, technological, and policy-driven factors. As global awareness of climate change intensifies, there’s a concerted push towards renewable energy sources. Biogas, produced from organic waste, offers a sustainable solution by converting waste into energy, thereby reducing methane emissions—a potent greenhouse gas. Advancements in anaerobic digestion technologies have enhanced the efficiency and scalability of biogas production, making it a viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Moreover, the versatility of biogas applications, ranging from electricity generation to transportation fuel, underscores its growing relevance in the global energy mix.
Government initiatives and supportive policies further bolster the market’s expansion. For instance, in India, the Maharashtra state government approved the establishment of two compressed biogas plants in Deonar, Mumbai, aiming to process 1,000 tons of wet waste daily. This project, part of the central government’s Gobardhan scheme, exemplifies the commitment to urban biogas infrastructure development. Similarly, in Poland, TotalEnergies’ agreement to sell a 50% stake in a Polish biogas firm to HitecVision reflects strategic investments to accelerate biogas development in Europe. Such initiatives not only address waste management challenges but also contribute to energy security and economic growth.
However, the market faces challenges that could impede its trajectory. High initial capital investments required for setting up biogas plants can be a deterrent, especially in developing regions. Additionally, the variability in organic waste composition can affect the consistency and efficiency of biogas production. Despite these hurdles, the overarching trend indicates a positive outlook, with the global waste-derived biogas market projected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by technological innovations, policy support, and an increasing emphasis on sustainable energy solutions.
