Biomethane Market to Reach USD 8.96 Billion by 2032

Key Highlights

• The Biomethane Market was valued at USD 5.93 Billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach nearly USD 8.96 Billion by 2032.
• Revenue is expected to grow at 6.08% CAGR from 2026 to 2032.
• Europe leads due to renewable energy targets, incentives and green gas policy.
• Municipal waste is the dominant feedstock, followed closely by animal manure.
• Anaerobic digestion dominated the market in 2025.
• Air Liquide and Engie developments show how capacity, offtake contracts and portfolio strategy are shaping competition.

Why This Matters Now

Gas buyers face a new procurement question. Biomethane can convert waste into renewable gas, but capacity, feedstock security and infrastructure cost will decide who can scale.

For chemical producers, utilities, industrial buyers and investors, the market is moving from climate narrative to supply-chain execution. The opportunity sits where organic waste, upgrading technology, local gas demand and supportive regulation meet.

Market Overview

Biomethane Market was valued at USD 5.93 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach nearly USD 8.96 Billion by 2032, growing at 6.08% CAGR from 2026 to 2032. Each dollar of expansion signals rising demand for renewable gas that can substitute natural gas in transport, heating, power generation and industrial use.

Biomethane is produced by upgrading biogas from agricultural residues, sewage and municipal waste. That makes it a renewable gas and circular economy product that converts waste streams into usable energy.

MMR identifies decarbonization, government frameworks, renewable energy incentives and demand for clean energy as core growth drivers. Europe leads because renewable gas policy, production incentives and climate targets have created a clearer investment pathway.

Key Trends Driving Growth

Decarbonization is the main demand signal. Governments are promoting renewable energy and lower carbon emissions, pushing biomethane into transport, manufacturing, power generation and heating.

Feedstock strategy is becoming a competitive variable. Municipal waste, animal manure, food waste and agricultural residues give producers low-carbon inputs, but supply must be consistent. Producers with secure local feedstock contracts will have stronger plant utilization.

Technology is reducing cost pressure. MMR states that advances in anaerobic digestion and upgrading methods have made production more cost-effective. Pressure swing adsorption, water scrubbing and membrane separation improve the route from raw biogas to grid-quality biomethane.

Decentralized production is widening the business case. Smaller biogas plants can serve rural and agricultural areas while reducing energy transmission losses. That supports local jobs, waste management and resilient energy supply.

Segment Insights

• Dominant Segment Feedstock: Municipal Waste. Municipal waste is the dominant feedstock for biomethane production, followed closely by animal manure. It offers readily available organic matter from households and businesses while reducing landfill methane emissions.
• Strong Feedstock Base: Animal Manure. Animal manure is important in agricultural regions because it contains high organic matter and can be converted through anaerobic digestion. Its use also reduces methane emissions from traditional manure management.
• Dominant Segment Production Method: Anaerobic Digestion. Anaerobic digestion dominated the market in 2025 because it is proven, relatively low-cost and able to handle multiple feedstocks. It can process wet organic materials and scale across small and large plants.
• Emerging Production Method: Gasification. Gasification is gaining attention for dry feedstocks such as energy crops and agricultural residues. MMR states that it requires more complex infrastructure and higher capital investment than anaerobic digestion.
• Application Scope. MMR segments applications into transportation, power generation and others. Fastest-growing segment by feedstock, production method, application or end user is not disclosed in the public summary.

Regional Growth Story

Europe leads the Biomethane Market. MMR links that leadership to renewable energy targets, incentives for green gas production and a robust regulatory framework. The European Union Renewable Energy Directive supports biomethane through renewable energy requirements.

Germany, the UK, France and Sweden are cited by MMR as countries where biomethane is increasingly used in transport and industry.

The United States appears in recent capacity activity. Air Liquide established new production units in Pennsylvania and Michigan to convert agricultural manure into biogas and upgrade it into renewable natural gas using membrane technology. That signals a US growth route based on agricultural feedstock and grid-ready RNG.

Asia-Pacific, including China, India, Japan and South Korea, is included in MMR’s regional coverage, but the public summary does not disclose country-level values or detailed demand data. The same applies to trade flows and pricing.

Competitive Landscape

The competitive field includes renewable gas developers, industrial gas companies, utilities and biogas technology suppliers. MMR lists Air Liquide, Engie, Nature Energy Biogass A/S, Terega Solutions, Waga Energy, Total Energy, Archea Energy, Envitec Biogas AG, Future Biogas, Greenlane Renewables, VERBIO and Landwärme.

Air Liquide’s activity shows how industrial gas expertise can move into circular waste-to-energy infrastructure. Its possible asset sale, noted by MMR, also shows that portfolio focus and capital allocation are becoming decisive as assets scale.

Engie’s long-term supply deal with PepsiCo UK signals a shift toward corporate offtake, reducing revenue uncertainty and supporting new plant development.

Recent Developments

• Air Liquide expanded in 2025 with new biomethane units in Pennsylvania and Michigan. The units convert agricultural manure into renewable natural gas through proprietary membrane technology.
• The Air Liquide facilities are expected to produce about 74 GWh annually. This signals capacity growth tied to agricultural ecosystems and circular waste-to-energy supply.
• MMR notes that Air Liquide was reported by late 2025 to be exploring the sale of biomethane assets. That suggests capital discipline and portfolio specialization may reshape ownership.
• In early 2026, Engie signed a 10-year agreement to deliver about 60 GWh of biomethane annually to PepsiCo UK. The deal links supply to a new anaerobic digestion plant in Northern England expected online by late 2027.
• Engie operates about 1.2 TWh of biomethane capacity in Europe and targets 10 TWh of annual production and 30 TWh of green gas supply by 2030. That scale ambition points to stronger offtake competition.

Strategic Implications

For investors, biomethane is a capital-intensive market with policy support but execution risk. The strongest projects will control feedstock, upgrading technology, permits, grid access and long-term demand.

For industrial buyers, biomethane offers a lower-carbon gas option that fits existing energy use cases. Availability remains the risk. Long-term contracts may become necessary where companies need reliable renewable gas for decarbonization commitments.

For chemical and materials companies, the opportunity is not only energy substitution. Biomethane creates a circular supply model around waste conversion, local resilience and lower-emission operations.

Future Outlook

The Biomethane Market will grow where regulation, feedstock availability, upgrading technology and offtake contracts align. Europe will remain the policy anchor, while US capacity activity shows how agricultural waste can support renewable gas production. Winners will secure feedstock and customers before competitors turn clean gas into a capacity-constrained market.
