Biogas Market to Surpass 28 GW by 2031 Amid Strong Policy Incentives and Growing Decarbonization Targets, Reports Mordor Intelligence

HYDERABAD, India, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest insights from Mordor Intelligence, the global biogas market rising from 21.65 GW in 2025 to 22.64 GW in 2026, and projected to reach 28.34 GW by 2031, reflecting a 4.59% CAGR. Biogas industry momentum is increasingly driven by supportive policy frameworks, growing investments in renewable natural gas (RNG) upgrading, and stronger corporate decarbonization targets. Governments are promoting biogas as a low-carbon transport fuel, particularly using agricultural and food-waste feedstocks, while utilities deploy biogas assets to balance intermittent renewable energy generation.  

Europe maintains technological leadership due to established incentives and biomethane networks, whereas emerging regions in South America are accelerating growth with nearly 10% annual expansion through 2030.  

Capacity additions remain centered on 0.5–2 MW plants, although smaller community-scale facilities below 0.5 MW are gaining traction under distributed energy programs. Competitive activity remains strong as established developers expand owned assets and newer players introduce modular upgrading and carbon-capture solutions to enhance project profitability. 

Biogas Market Trends and Insights

Policy Support and Renewable Energy Expansion: Government programs are shifting toward performance-based incentives that provide developers with stronger long-term revenue certainty. New policy structures increasingly encourage upgrading biogas into renewable gas rather than relying solely on electricity generation. National initiatives across regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia are accelerating distributed biogas deployment, supporting rural economies, improving waste utilization, and strengthening grid reliability through decentralized energy systems. 

Corporate Climate Commitments and Utility Demand: Energy providers are recognizing biogas as a reliable balancing resource that complements variable renewable power generation. At the same time, corporations are adopting renewable gas procurement strategies to reduce supply-chain emissions and meet sustainability targets. Verified carbon accounting and certification mechanisms are further driving demand for projects capable of demonstrating transparent methane capture and environmental performance. 

"The biogas market is advancing as governments and industries prioritize waste-to-energy solutions and energy diversification, with investment patterns reflecting steady, policy-supported adoption. This assessment draws on verified company disclosures, regulatory frameworks, and consistent cross-market validation, providing decision-makers with a balanced, transparent view grounded in defensible research standards.", says, Himanshu Vasisht, Senior Research Manager, Mordor Intelligence.
