Bioenergy Market Report 2026

The bioenergy market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $320.81 billion in 2025 to $352.14 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for renewable energy, government incentives for biomass and biofuels, growth in power generation from waste, rising awareness of environmental sustainability, technological advancements in biomass conversion.

The bioenergy market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $510.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of bioenergy infrastructure, increasing integration with smart grid systems, adoption of next-generation biofuel technologies, growth in commercial and industrial heat applications, rising investments in sustainable transportation fuels. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of advanced biomass conversion technologies, growing use of anaerobic digestion for biogas production, expansion of biofuel applications in transportation sector, increasing deployment of fast pyrolysis for energy generation, rising preference for algae-based renewable energy solutions.

The growing demand for energy focused on reducing carbon emissions is expected to drive the growth of the bioenergy market. Greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities contribute to the greenhouse effect, with carbon dioxide from fossil fuel combustion significantly impacting the climate. In response, countries are implementing various measures to lower these emissions. Bioenergy plays a crucial role in achieving these targets by providing renewable energy sources and helping to reduce carbon emissions. For example, in February 2024, the World Resources Institute, a U.S.-based organization, reported that the U.S. installed a record 31 gigawatts (GW) of solar energy capacity in 2023, representing a 55% increase from 2022 installations. Therefore, the increasing demand for energy targets aimed at reducing carbon emissions is driving the bioenergy market's growth.

Key players in the bioenergy market are strategically emphasizing biofuels as a primary driver for revenue generation. Biofuels, acknowledged as a renewable energy source, contribute to a carbon-neutral cycle, emitting an amount of carbon dioxide during combustion equivalent to that absorbed by plants during their growth. Demonstrating this commitment, in March 2023, BSBIOS Industria e Comercio de Biodiesel Sul Brasil S.A, a prominent Brazil-based company specializing in biodiesel production, launched the biofuel named Be8 BeVant. Positioned as an immediate solution, BeVant targets businesses seeking to fulfill decarbonization commitments in the short term, particularly those reliant on conventional diesel oil. This innovative biofuel enables emissions reduction without substantial investments in engine replacements or new fueling infrastructure.

In October 2024, British Petroleum p.l.c., a UK-based multinational energy company, acquired a 100% stake in BP Bunge Bioenergia from Bunge Global SA for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, BP intends to strengthen and consolidate its bioenergy operations in Brazil, expand its sugarcane ethanol production capacity, and enhance its overall renewable fuels portfolio. Bunge Global SA is a Brazil-based bioenergy company engaged in the production of sugarcane ethanol for use as a renewable fuel.
