The market share growth of the water scrubber segment will be significant during the forecast period. Water scrubbing is the traditional process in which carbon dioxide is removed from biogas to form high-quality biomethane. This process uses water as a solvent to remove carbon dioxide. Since the solubility of carbon dioxide in water is much higher than that of methane, the methane content of the gas leaving the scrubber increased. The biomethane produced in this way is approximately 98% pure. The process also removes all traces of hydrogen sulfide.

Europe is estimated to contribute 39% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. Bioenergy from renewable energy sources plays a key role in achieving the ambitious target set by the EU - 20 percent of final energy consumption. Most of the European population is still not aware of the benefits of biomethane in vehicles. However, this is changing due to favorable support conditions given by various governments. Germany is highly dependent on oil and gas imports because its reserves are small. The country imports 97% of its oil and more than 85% of its natural gas consumption. Therefore, to improve energy security, the government fully supports the use of renewable energy sources in all sectors, which has accelerated the growth of renewable energy sources such as biofuels, biogas, and refined biogas.
The adoption of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is pivotal in sectors like the marine, oil and gas, and power generation industry, where its use aligns with carbon reduction procedures. CNG's integration into the natural gas distribution system supports cleaner energy solutions, enhancing sustainability efforts. Meanwhile, crude oil remains a significant component in global energy markets, complemented by advanced filter products for environmental compliance. Innovations such as water washing techniques aid in managing household waste and promoting renewable energy sources. The marine industry benefits from CNG's efficiency, reducing emissions and operational costs. In the oil and gas industry, CNG applications contribute to operational efficiency and environmental stewardship. Power plants increasingly rely on CNG for its lower carbon footprint, aligning with global efforts to transition to more sustainable energy sources. Overall, CNG plays a crucial role in diversifying energy portfolios and promoting environmental sustainability across various sectors.
Market growth is driven notably by the increasing demand for cleaner fuel, fueled by concerns over rising greenhouse gas emissions. Unlike conventional oil and natural gas, biogas stands out as a renewable alternative. Derived from biodegradable matter and waste, it undergoes recycling and refining processes to serve as a versatile fuel across various applications. The imperative to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and diversify energy sources propels global interest in efficient and cleaner alternatives like biogas, biodiesel, and ethanol.
Moreover, biogas, particularly, offers stability against price fluctuations seen in natural gas markets, thereby bolstering economic resilience. Consequently, the surge in demand for refined biogas necessitates expanded production capacities and equipment upgrades to meet market needs. This escalating demand for upgraded equipment drives growth in the global market, ensuring sustained momentum throughout the forecast period.
Key market trends include technological advancements in biogas upgrading techniques and equipment. Government support and rising interest in biogas foster investments in processing technologies. Innovations like cryogenic refining and on-site methane enrichment enhance existing methods.
Moreover, the improved biogas energy intensity reduces greenhouse gas emissions, with advanced techniques yielding up to 99% efficiency. For instance, Goteborg Energi in Sweden converts forest residues into biomethane using a 20 MW plant. These advancements propel the global biogas refining equipment market forward.
A significant challenge hindering market growth is the elevated production costs. Converting raw biogas into refined form proves costly. Biogas typically comprises 30%-40% carbon dioxide, necessitating refinement to enhance methane content and lower carbon dioxide levels to match natural air composition.
However, this refining process incurs high expenses, demanding optimization through innovative approaches. Achieving high methane yield while minimizing energy consumption is imperative. Consequently, the substantial investment required to scale production and meet escalating demand poses a formidable obstacle to the market's growth forecast.
