Biomethane moves towards a global commodity market

Main findings from CEDIGAZ’s new Global Biomethane Market – 2026 Assessment

The global biomethane market is entering a new phase. Production continues to accelerate, but the most significant change is structural: biomethane is moving beyond a collection of regional markets, national support schemes and local applications towards an increasingly interconnected global commodity market.

CEDIGAZ’s new report, Global Biomethane Market – 2026 Assessment, examines this transformation and the forces reshaping production, demand, investment and trade. Regulatory changes, tighter climate targets, carbon pricing, energy-security concerns and delays in the deployment of low-carbon hydrogen are strengthening the role of biomethane across Europe, the Americas and Asia.

CEDIGAZ’s annual report “Global Biomethane Market – 2025 Assessment” is now available, providing a comprehensive analysis of a rapidly evolving sector. The report details significant growth, with global renewable natural gas (RNG) production reaching 9.25 bcm in 2023 and forecasted to approach 12 bcm in 2024. Europe and North America remain the leading regions, while emerging markets such as Brazil, China, and India show promising momentum.

CLEAN HYDROGEN: BUILDING LARGE-SCALE SUPPLY CHAINS

Posted in Energy Transition, Hydrogen, Zero Carbon Gas on

Cedigaz has just released its thematic report “CLEAN HYDROGEN: Building Large-scale Supply Chains”, which  assesses progress in the development of large-scale clean hydrogen supply chains worldwide and looks at industry efforts to produce clean hydrogen.

THE NEW WORLD HYDROGEN ECONOMY

Since 2017, governments from 18 countries have adopted national hydrogen strategies for deploying clean (low and zero carbon) hydrogen energy solutions. Leading companies around the world are proactively investing in clean hydrogen and related technologies. The transition to clean hydrogen would create a significant step-change in hydrogen production technology in terms of scale and costs, making clean hydrogen solutions more attractive not only for industry, but also in all other sectors. Clean hydrogen is an emerging market. It is a key lever for achieving deep decarbonisation, specifically in hard-to-abate sectors like transport. It can tackle various critical energy challenges, including facilitating the large-scale integration of intermittent renewables, enabling grid balancing and seasonal storage. It can also help to improve air quality and strengthen energy security. Its potential is immense and future developments depend on energy and environmental policies, cost reductions and competition with other low-carbon options.
