Biogas Plant Markets boom Worldwide in Municipalities, Industry and
Agricultur.Profitpotential high The worldmarket is about 2 billion euro in 2006
and expected to increase over 25 billion euro by 2020. But the competition is
growing fast too. The key is the knowledge in biotechnology, molecular science,
nano-bio-it convergence. (helmut kaiser)

Helmut Kaiser Consultancy released a new study about the markets for biogas
plants worldwide.
The worldmarkets for Biogas and Biogas Plants increase since some years with
20 to 30
percent depending on the country. Germany as a technology leader reached in 2006
about 700 million euro with 400 companies, 100 companies offering the whole
value chain, the export is between 10 and 15 percent. Only 2006 are 900 plants
build and reach about 3.600 plants in total. It is expected a market size of 7.5
billion euro by 2020 for plants, 30 percent export and 85 000 jobs in germany
only. The worldmarket is about 2 billion euro in 2006 and expected over 25
billion by 2020. But the competition is growing too, worldwide. USA and China
show a much greater potential as germany and europe. Many plants are low tech
and easy to reproduce and design. The key is the knowledge in biotechnology,
molecular science and optimization in the future. Biogas (
http://www.hkc22.com/biogas.html ) is part of renewable energies (
http://www.hkc22.com/renewableenergy.html ) worldwide.

The total energy mix of the future will be more regenerative and sustainable.
The generation and storage of renewable energy will be the fastest growing
sector in energy market for next 20 years. The market volume of renewable energy
worldwide will increase from US$ 95.8 billion in 2007 to US$ 124.4 billion in
2010 and reach US$ 198.1 billion in 2015. These figures and developments are
based on the whole value chain.

Biogas power plants are a combination of anaerobic digestion systems with
associated electricity generators such as gas turbines or gas engines. The
electricity they produce is classified as renewable or green energy and if sold
into the national grid attract subsidies.
In the last 20 years, biogas utilisation been successful in wastewater treatment
plants, industrial processing applications, landfill and the agricultural
sector.

The future increase use of biogas is a strong goal in most countries, not only
because is it a renewable energy source but it will help to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, water pollution and soil degradation and last not least it will
change agriculture sectors in many countries worldwide to produce partly energy.

This study is the first research worldwide for biogas plants in 50 countries
with the potentials and developments to 2030, with the technologies and
competition worldwide.
