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.

GLOBAL BIOMETHANE MARKET 2025 ASSESSMENT

Accelerated Growth, Broadening Applications, and Transformation

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.

Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) in Gas Network Utilities – An International Perspective

Posted in GHG emissions on

Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) in gas network utilities, particularly methane emissions, is a significant yet often overlooked environmental and financial burden. The increasing concern about environmental issues has placed immense pressure on the oil and gas industry to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Methane, a potent GHG with up to 86 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2, has garnered attention at COP26, where 105 countries signed the Global Methane Pledge, committing to a 30% reduction in methane emissions by 2030. It is evident that curbing methane emissions from gas networks holds immense potential for making a substantial impact on global climate change goals.
