Renewable natural gas (RNG), also known as biomethane, offers an immediate decarbonization solution to a wide range of industries. RNG is produced by removing the impurities from biogas, which is released during the decomposition of organic matter such as animal or food waste. Once the biogas is upgraded to make a stream of pipeline quality methane, it becomes RNG, which is completely interchangeable with conventional fossil natural gas. As a drop-in fuel, RNG is compatible with existing gas infrastructure, including pipelines, storage caverns, gas turbines, and home appliances. Renewable gas is especially well suited for hard-to-abate sectors, where few other decarbonization options exist.
While many developing countries will continue to use biogas for cooking and heating, Europe and North America were early movers on crafting legislation to help incentivize the use of renewable fuels such as RNG. Market demand today largely reflects those policies. In addition to high production costs, the scalability of feedstocks is a primary concern about the development of the RNG market. Producers need a steady long-term supply of feedstock, which can be a challenge considering the cyclical nature of some agriculture activities. In addition, competition over feedstocks will increase as new demand and RNG suppliers emerge.
This Guidehouse Insights report provides forecasts for RNG production capacity additions and equipment sales revenues from 2024-2033. Forecasts are based on an analysis of planned RNG production capacity and primary research that includes phone and in-person interviews with industry leaders. Forecasts have been segmented by global region, production pathways, and end-use application.
