Market Data: Bioenergy Production and Utilization Market
Decarbonization Through Solid Biomass, Liquid Biofuels, and Biogas with World Market Forecasts: 2022-2031
Bioenergy has been around for as long as humans have used fire to cook and keep warm. However, the feedstocks used, and the products made have evolved tremendously in recent years, making bioenergy the single most popular form of renewable energy around the world. One of bioenergy’s biggest benefits is its wide range of applications. Biomass can be used for heating and cooking, for electricity generation, for combined heat and power, or to produce liquid or gaseous fuels for transport, industrial chemicals, materials, and other products.
The bioenergy market has benefited from strong government support, often through tax incentives and fuel‑blending mandates, and will likely continue to grow through 2031. As the world looks to decarbonize, bioenergy offers a key advantage as it is capable of decarbonizing especially hard-to-abate sectors such as aviation. Further, refining biofuels into renewable diesel and renewable natural gas allows the use of existing infrastructure and can lead to faster adoption. Bioenergy can be especially valuable for developing as it offers the opportunity for energy self-sufficiency and a reprieve from the volatility of fossil fuel prices. However, further adoption of bioenergy use also faces several obstacles. Most bioenergy products cannot be used directly without performing expensive equipment retrofits or total replacements. In addition, while biomass feedstocks have evolved to include non-edible sources, food and water issues persist. Lastly, the market faces headwinds from high costs, policy uncertainty, a relatively lower energy output compared to other fuels, and competition with other technologies.
This Guidehouse Insights report discusses solid biomass, liquid biofuels, and biogas. Production capacity and revenue are projected for 2022-2031 for four biofuels (ethanol, biodiesel, renewable diesel, and biojet fuel). Production capacity is also forecast for biomass used for power generation in the 2022-2031 period.
