Top 10 Biomass Services Companies - 2023

Biomass power generation is gaining traction due to its numerous environmental benefits, including reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. It plays an integral role in accelerating the move toward a greener and more sustainable energy future.

According to a report by marketsandmarkets.com, the global biomass power generation market is valued at $91.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $105.7 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.0 percent from the forecast period.

Global initiatives to tackle climate change, government policies, and technological breakthroughs for cleaner and more efficient energy production are driving forces in the market. In order to guarantee ethical sourcing methods, certification schemes such as the Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) are becoming more significant. A growing number of decentralized, smaller biomass power plants are being constructed in rural regions to increase energy access and lower transmission losses. Using the gas created in anaerobic digesters from organic waste has become a popular method for producing biomass energy. As part of their efforts to meet their clean energy targets, governments are enacting laws and incentives to encourage the production of biomass electricity.
