Europe Bioenergy Market Growth
In Europe, primary solid biofuels account for 70.3% of the overall bioenergy production. This is followed by liquid biofuels at 12.9%, biogas at 10.1%, and renewable portions of municipal waste at 6.6%.
In 2021, indigenous biogas production recorded a year-on-year increase of 1.7%, reaching 14.9 MTOE. Germany accounted for 50.4% of the overall production, reaching 7.5 MTOE, which made it the leading biomethane producer. Italy (3.9%), and France (9.4%), followed it at 2.1 MTOE and 1.4 MTOE, respectively.
The supply of solid biomass for bioenergy production mainly comprises forest biomass at over 60%, followed by biomass obtained from organic waste materials (26%), and agricultural biomass at 8%, sourced notably from Finland and Sweden. The supply of solid biomass in Europe has recorded a surge of 33.5% between 2008 and 2021, reaching 4,454,768 TJ.
The consumption of biofuels in Europe has risen by 39% between 2013 and 2021. In 2021, the transportation sector consumed 16.5 MTOE of biofuel, with biodiesel emerging as the most popular fuel. Bioethanol and biomethane (among other liquid biofuels) accounted for 18% and less than 1% of total biofuel consumption, respectively.
In 2021, bioenergy was used to produce 17.3 MTOE of heat energy in Europe, primarily by using solid biomass (at over 70%), renewable portions of municipal waste (at over 18%), and biogas (at 5.0%).
