30 October 2026 – Market Krystal has published its Biomethane market report, covering demand, supply, the value chain and market size, with a forecast for 2026–2035 and scenarios to 2047.
Biomethane is methane made by upgrading biogas from anaerobic digestion of manure, crop residues, food waste, sewage and landfill gas, removing CO2, H2S and moisture to natural-gas quality. It is injected into gas grids, sold as compressed biogas (CBG) or bio-CNG and LNG for vehicles, and used for heat and power. Supply is driven by policy: India's SATAT programme and CBG blending obligation, the EU's REPowerEU target and the US Renewable Fuel Standard and state low-carbon fuel credits.
Key findings
Demand
Power and CHP is the largest use at about 51% (Fortune Business Insights), and Europe is the largest region at about 61% (Fortune Business Insights); transport fuel under the US RFS and India's CBG mandate grows fastest.
Supply
Europe has about 1,678 upgrading plants led by France, Germany, Italy, Denmark and the Netherlands (EBA); the US had 237 landfill and farm RNG projects in 2023 (EPA); leading companies include Shell (Nature Energy), bp (Archaea), OPAL Fuels, Clean Energy Fuels, Adani TotalEnergies and Reliance.
Value chain
Agricultural residues, manure and energy crops + Crop residues such as paddy straw and press mud + Municipal organic waste and sewage sludge → biomethane → Power generation and CHP, Transport fuel (bio-CNG, CBG, bio-LNG), Industrial heat and feedstock via the grid
THE QUESTION THE REPORT ANSWERSHow fast can biogas upgrading capacity grow in India, Europe and the US to meet blending mandates and targets, and who captures the value between feedstock, upgrading and offtake?
