Biomass Gasification Market Report 2025

The biomass gasification market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $117.04 billion in 2024 to $128.03 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, an increase in government investments and abundant availability of biomass.

The biomass gasification market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $176.79 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid depletion of fossil fuels, increasing construction of new gasification plants, government initiatives for research and development and rising greenhouse gas emissions. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on artificial intelligence tools such as machine-earning, developing new products, focus on developing novel gasification technology, mergers and acquisitions, and focus on partnerships and collaborations.

The forthcoming period is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the biomass gasification market, primarily propelled by the swift depletion of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and gas, derived from decomposed plants and animals, are nonrenewable energy sources rich in carbon and hydrogen. Recognizing the limitations and environmental impact of fossil fuel consumption, governments are increasingly shifting focus towards renewable energy sources such as biomass. This transition is expected to drive the growth of biomass gasification, providing a sustainable avenue for power generation and biofuel production. Notably, projections from the Millennium Alliance for Humanity and the Biosphere indicate that oil reserves may be depleted by 2052, gas by 2060, and coal by 2090. Consequently, the imminent exhaustion of fossil fuels is poised to stimulate the expansion of the biomass gasification market.

The increasing emphasis on clean energy sources is anticipated to drive the growth of the biomass gasification market in the future. Clean energy refers to energy obtained from renewable, sustainable sources that have a minimal environmental impact and generate low or no greenhouse gas emissions during production. The primary motivation for the transition to clean energy sources is the urgent necessity to combat climate change, as they produce electricity with little to no greenhouse gas emissions, making them vital for reducing the carbon footprint of the energy sector. Biomass gasification is being increasingly utilized to satisfy the demand for clean energy by converting organic materials into renewable syngas, which can be employed for electricity generation and fuel production. For instance, in December 2023, a report by the European Biogas Association, based in Belgium, noted that biogas production in Europe rose by nearly 20%, increasing from 3.5 billion cubic meters (bcm) in 2021 to 4.2 bcm in 2022. Thus, the growing focus on clean energy sources will propel the biomass gasification market.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is gaining significant traction in the biomass gasification market, offering accelerated insights into the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. Traditional models employed for understanding these conversion processes often have prolonged operational timelines. Leveraging AI tools, particularly machine learning, can expedite modeling processes. An illustrative example involves the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, where a team utilized a machine-learning method known as recurrent neural networks. This AI approach facilitated the study of reactions occurring during biomass conversion into energy-dense syngas, expediting predictions regarding the biofuel composition based on the time biomass spends in the reactor.

Strategic partnerships and collaborations are emerging as a prominent trend in the biomass gasification market. Gasification, a process transforming carbonaceous materials from biomass or fossil fuels into gases such as nitrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, has prompted companies in the sector to seek collaborative initiatives. For instance, in January 2022, Lahti Energia Oy, a Finnish energy company operating in biomass gasification, formed a strategic partnership with Nordic Ren-Gas Oy, a Finland-based firm specializing in sustainable energy projects. The collaboration is geared towards a Power-to-Gas (P2G) project valued at EUR 250 million ($220 million), encompassing the production of green hydrogen and renewable methane. Such partnerships aim to reinforce the market presence of companies in the biomass gasification sector.

In January 2023, Kejuruteraan Asastera Bhd (KAB), a Malaysia-based engineering firm, acquired Future Biomass Gasification Sdn Bhd (FBG) for $3.2 million. This acquisition is aimed at enhancing KAB's sustainable energy solutions (SES) portfolio by adding its first biogas power plant, thereby diversifying its renewable energy assets and generating additional revenue through an existing power purchase agreement with Tenaga Nasional Bhd. Future Biomass Gasification Sdn Bhd (FBG) is a Malaysia-based energy company that specializes in renewable energy solutions, particularly in the biomass sector.
