Global Biomass Power Generation Market 2026 by Company, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Biomass Power Generation market size was valued at US$ 54050 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 78490 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.5% during review period.
Biomass power generation is a technology that converts biomass resources, such as agricultural and forestry waste, garbage, and livestock manure, into electricity through combustion, gasification, and fermentation. It combines renewable, low-carbon emissions, and circular economy characteristics. Biomass includes waste, residues, and by-products from forestry and agriculture, as well as the biodegradable organic fraction of municipal and industrial waste. It also includes waste from the food processing industry, municipal and industrial waste, agricultural and wood waste, wood, sawdust, short-rotation woody crops, and many other materials. Biomass is used as an energy source for power generation, heating, and transportation. Biomass is an environmentally friendly, carbon-neutral, and sustainable energy source for power generation, with significant potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Technology Type (Direct Combustion Power Generation; Gasification Power Generation; Biogas Power Generation)
Principle (Direct combustion of biomass to generate steam to drive a turbine; Conversion of biomass into combustible gas to drive a generator; Anaerobic fermentation to generate methane for power generation)
Applicable Scale (10-100 MW; 1-10 MW; 0.1-5 MW)
Efficiency Range (25-35%; 30-42%; 35-45%)
Typical Fuels (Straw, wood chips, bagasse; Rice husks, sawdust, agricultural residues; Livestock and poultry manure, organic wastewater, landfill gas)
Regional Market Landscape
The global biomass power generation market demonstrates a "Europe and the United States lead in technology, while Asia-Pacific expands in scale" landscape. Europe, with its stringent carbon reduction policies and mature environmental standards, holds over 35% of the global market share. Countries like Germany and Sweden are focusing on developing biomass gasification-coupled technologies, which improve power generation efficiency by 10-15% compared to traditional coal-fired units. The North American market is centered around waste incineration power generation. The United States has long maintained a top-three position globally in biomass power generation capacity and leads in biogas co-generation technology.
The Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing regional market, accounting for 40% of the market size by 2024. China contributes over 60% of the region's installed capacity growth.
Manufacturer and Industry Chain Analysis
Core upstream links: The raw material supply side is primarily agricultural and forestry waste collection, storage, and transportation companies (such as China National Agricultural Development Group). Core equipment components include incinerators (Martin, Germany, Shanghai Electric, China), gasification units (GE, China Huadian Heavy Industry, USA), and flue gas treatment equipment (Zhongji Shengfeng, China, and Paques, the Netherlands). Incinerators and gasification units account for over 60% of total equipment investment. Downstream typical customers are divided into three core groups: first, state-owned power grid companies (such as State Grid and China Southern Power Grid, which purchase electricity at benchmark prices); second, high-energy-consuming industrial users (such as steel and chemical companies, which purchase biomass electricity through green power direct connections); and third, local government sanitation departments (the main investors in waste-to-energy projects). Technological Trends and Innovations
Biomass power generation is rapidly evolving toward higher efficiency, cleaner operation, and smarter processes. Core technological breakthroughs are concentrated in three key areas: In terms of combustion efficiency, circulating fluidized bed gasification technology achieves efficient raw material conversion. In terms of integrating environmental protection with resource utilization, Zhongji Shengfeng's flue gas denitrification and heat recovery technology achieves a triple breakthrough: NOx removal efficiency reaches 99%, particulate matter emissions are below 5mg/m³, and nitrogen oxides are converted into liquid nitrogen fertilizer. This generates over 20 million yuan in additional annual revenue per plant, addressing the industry's pain point of excessively high environmental costs. In terms of digital intelligent management and control, AI algorithms and IoT platforms are integrated to optimize the entire process. For example, Dosker's carbon emission analysis system monitors combustion data in real time and adjusts feed rates through algorithms, increasing carbon emission reduction efficiency by 18%. Combined with 5G and a remote monitoring system, equipment operation and maintenance response time is shortened to within 2 hours, reducing downtime by 30%. In summary, as the only renewable energy source that combines the dual attributes of "solid waste treatment" and "energy production," biomass power generation is becoming a key pillar of the global energy transition through industrial upgrading and technological innovation. Driven by the dual goals of "dual carbon" and the upgrading of environmental standards, companies with the ability to adapt to local raw materials, breakthroughs in environmental protection technologies, and digital intelligent management and control will dominate the market. In the future, with the promotion of green electricity direct connection models and the maturity of biogas cogeneration technology, biomass power generation will evolve from a single power supply to a multi-generation model of "electricity-heat-gas-fertilizer," further unleashing both ecological and economic value.
