The Spain Biogas Market Size is Anticipated to Reach USD 5.24 Billion By 2033, Growing at a CAGR of 3.21% from 2023 to 2033. 

Market Overview

Biogas is a renewable energy source produced by breaking down organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It primarily consists of methane and carbon dioxide but can also contain small amounts of other gases, such as hydrogen sulfide, siloxanes, and moisture. Spain is striving to increase biogas production as part of its efforts to achieve energy self-sufficiency and sustainability goals. As of January 2024, the country had 210 active biogas plants with a total production capacity of 836 MW. Spain aims to ramp up biogas production to 20 TWh by 2030, effectively doubling the amount outlined in the biogas roadmap. Additionally, the country plans to increase its gross generation capacity to 440 MW by the same year. Spain has the potential to produce up to 163 TWh of biogas annually, primarily from livestock manure, crop residues, and forestry biomass. Regions with high concentrations of livestock farms, such as Castilla y León, Andalucía, and Galicia, have the greatest potential for biogas production.

Driving Factors

The Spanish biogas market is influenced by a combination of environmental priorities and energy demands. Growing awareness of sustainability among consumers and businesses drives the shift towards alternative energy sources, supported by stringent government regulations that foster the biogas sector. Spain has substantial biomass feedstock due to its diverse agricultural and organic waste resources, essential for biogas production. The rising demand for clean energy is further amplified by industries' commitments to reducing carbon footprints, leading to increased interest in biogas solutions. Recent policy initiatives promoting biomethane production, especially as a transportation fuel, align with national strategies to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Together, these elements position Spain as a leader in Europe’s renewable energy landscape, with a promising future for the biogas industry.

Restraining Factors

The significant capital investment needed to establish biogas plants is a major barrier to market growth in Spain. The high initial costs associated with infrastructure, technology, and operational setup can be unaffordable for many stakeholders. Constructing and equipping a biogas plant, which includes anaerobic digesters, gas storage systems, and purification units, can cost several million dollars.

Market Segmentation

The Spain biogas market share is classified into source and application.

• The municipal segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

The Spain biogas market is segmented by source into municipal, industrial, and agricultural. Among these, the municipal segment is expected to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. The increasing utilization of municipal solid waste (MSW) for biogas production aims to decrease landfill usage and greenhouse gas emissions, which is anticipated to boost market demand during the forecast period.

• The electricity segment is expected to dominate the Spain biogas market during the forecast period.       

Based on the application, the Spain biogas market is divided into vehicle fuel, electricity, heat, upgraded biogas, and cooking gas. Among these, the electricity segment is expected to dominate the Spain biogas market during the forecast period. The widespread use of biogas systems for electricity generation is attributed to their ability to harness the renewable energy source of biogas, providing a steady and highly reliable power supply. Biogas plants convert methane into electricity using combined heat and power systems, which are extensively employed in both industrial and municipal settings.
