Biogas primarily consists of methane, carbon dioxide (CO2), and small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It is produced from materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, and food waste. Biogas is generated at landfill sites and in sewage plants. The most common method of using biogas for energy production is by converting it into heat and electricity in combined heat and power plants.
Market Dynamics
Increasing focus of governments worldwide to reduce greenhouse gas emission and identify alternative and clean sources of energy is expected to drive growth of the global biogas market. Furthermore, growing energy security concerns, owing to depletion of conventional energy resources is further expected to upsurge the demand for biogas over the forecast period.
