全球生物液化天然氣市場 2023-2030Global Bio-LNG Market 2023-2030 |
預計在預測期(2023-2030年),全球生物液化天然氣市場將以11.1%的CAGR成長。生物液化天然氣用作重型運輸、航運和內部生產過程的生物燃料。生物液化天然氣技術是滿足永續能源需求同時支持循環經濟的理想解決方案。越來越多採用成熟的液化天然氣加註和改進的網路是支持全球市場成長的關鍵因素。農業企業可以利用其所在地區農場和企業的剩餘材料,以循環經濟的形式自給自足地生產沼氣,並將其提煉成生物液化天然氣。因此,市場參與者也致力於推出緊湊型生物液化天然氣解決方案,以進一步促進市場成長。例如,2022 年 8 月,德國公司 Agrarvereinigung eG Darchau 和 Ruhe Biogas 以及義大利 Eco Spray 聯手在德國啟動了第一座緊湊型生物液化天然氣工廠。位於下薩克森州達紹的工廠將從該地區的糞便和糞便中生產沼氣,並將其液化用作重型運輸燃料。它的產能為 3 噸/天,約 1,000 噸/年,可取代約 130 萬公升傳統柴油。
全球生物液化天然氣市場依交易模式、廣告形式和垂直行業進行區隔。根據來源類型,市場分為有機生活垃圾、有機工業垃圾、都市垃圾和農業殘餘物。此外,根據應用,市場區隔為運輸燃料(重型車輛、船舶)、發電等。在來源類型中,由於許多產生適合厭氧消化的液體和固體廢物的行業的發展,例如食品加工、製藥、有機化學品、造紙和製革工業。
在這些應用中,運輸燃料區隔市場預計將在全球生物液化天然氣市場中佔據相當大的佔有率。該部門的成長歸因於重型運輸中擴大使用生物甲烷作為排放量顯著減少的燃料替代品。與柴油相比,生物液化天然氣可減少約86.0%的二氧化碳當量排放,有助於實現歐盟2030年氣候目標。目的是降低集團在原料和成品運輸過程中所產生的間接二氧化碳排放量。這將透過加強與使用生物液化天然氣卡車的選定物流合作夥伴的合作來實現。例如,2022 年 8 月,贏創和殼牌正在利用生物液化天然氣進軍重型公路運輸的去石化領域。殼牌正在向贏創供應 100 噸由農業廢棄物製成的生物液化天然氣。相當於三輛卡車一年的平均油耗。
全球生物液化天然氣市場根據地理位置進一步區隔,包括北美(美國和加拿大)、歐洲(英國、義大利、西班牙、德國、法國和歐洲其他地區)、亞太地區(印度、中國、日本、韓國和亞洲其他地區)以及世界其他地區(中東和非洲以及拉丁美洲)。其中,亞太地區預計將在全球市場中佔據顯著佔有率,因為為了減少溫室氣體排放而使用替代燃料發電的激增推動了市場的成長。
在所有地區中,北美地區預計在預測期內將以相當大的CAGR成長。區域成長歸功於利用有機廢棄物和生質能作為原料的生物液化天然氣生產設施的持續舉措和投資。目前正在努力開發生物液化天然氣生產設施和基礎設施,使其能夠在運輸和工業應用中使用。主要市場參與者包括 Ameresco、Clean Energy Fuels、Linde plc、Nacelle Solutions、Renewable Energy Group 等。例如,2021 年 11 月,TotalEnergies 及其美國合作夥伴 Clean Energy 將在德州弗里奧納啟動其第一個生物甲烷生產裝置的建設。生物甲烷被用作交通的替代燃料,有助於道路交通脫碳。
根據國際天然氣聯盟《世界液化天然氣報告》,2022年7月,2020年至2021年全球液化天然氣貿易量成長4.5%,達到372.3噸的歷史新高。 2021 年,約 690 萬噸/年 (MTPA) 的液化能力投產,年底全球液化量增加至 459.9 MTPA1。 2021年全球平均利用率為80.4%,而2020年為74.6%。2022年前四個月,新增液化產能12.5 MTPA,截至2022年4月全球液化產能總量達472.4 MTPA 。
Global Bio-LNG Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Source Type (Organic Household Waste, Organic Industrial Waste, Municipal Waste and Agriculture Residues), and by Application (Transportation Fuel, Power Generation and Others), Forecast Period (2023-2030)
The global bio-LNG market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.1% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Bio-LNG is used as biofuel for heavy-duty transport, shipping, and internal production processes. Bio-Liquefied Natural Gas technology is an ideal solution to meet sustainable energy demands while supporting the circular economy. The growing adoption of a well-developed LNG filling with an improved network is the key factor supporting the growth of the market globally. Agricultural businesses can produce biogas self-sufficiently in the form of a circular economy using residual materials from their farms and businesses in their region and refine it into bio-LNG. Hence, the market players are also focusing on introducing compact bio-LNG solutions that further bolster the market growth. For instance, in August 2022, German companies Agrarvereinigung eG Darchau and Ruhe Biogas and Italy's Eco spray teamed up to launch the first compact bio-LNG plant in Germany. The plant in Darchau, Lower Saxony, will produce biogas from manure and dung in the region and liquefy it for use as a heavy-duty transport fuel. It has a capacity of 3 metric tons/day, or around 1,000 mt/year, replacing about 1.3 million liters of conventional diesel.
The global bio-LNG market is segmented on the transaction mode, advertisement format, and industry verticals. Based on the source type, the market is sub-segmented into organic household waste, organic industrial waste, municipal waste and agriculture residues. Further, on the basis of application, the market is sub-segmented into transportation fuel (heavy-duty vehicles, shipping), power generation and others. Among the source types, the organic industrial waste sub-segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share of the market owing to the rise in the development of many industries that produce liquid and solid wastes that are suitable for anaerobic digestion, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, organic chemicals, paper manufacturing and tannery industries.
Among the applications, the transportation fuel sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global bio-LNG market. The segmental growth is attributed to the growing use of biomethane in heavy-duty transport as a fuel alternative that emits significantly less emissions. Bio-LNG can reduce CO2e emissions by approximately 86.0% compared to diesel and thus contribute to reaching the EU's 2030 climate targets. The aim is to lower the group's indirect CO2e emissions from the transportation of raw materials and finished products. This is to be achieved through increased cooperation with selected logistics partners that use trucks running on Bio-LNG. For instance, in August 2022, Evonik and Shell are making inroads into de-fossilizing heavy-duty road transport with Bio-LNG. Shell is supplying 100 tons of Bio-LNG made from agricultural waste to Evonik. It is equivalent to the average fuel consumption of three trucks in a year.
The global bio-LNG market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. Among these, Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to the surge in the usage of alternative fuels for energy generation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is drives the growth of the market.
Among all regions, the North America regions is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to ongoing initiatives and investments in bio-LNG production facilities that utilize organic waste and biomass as feedstock. Efforts are underway to develop bio-LNG production facilities and infrastructure, enabling its use in transportation and industrial applications. The key market players include Ameresco, Clean Energy Fuels, Linde plc, Nacelle Solutions, Renewable Energy Group and others. For instance, in November 2021, TotalEnergies and its US partner Clean Energy are launching the construction of their first biomethane production unit, in Friona, Texas. Biomethane is used as an alternative fuel for mobility, thus contributing to decarbonizing road transportation.
According to the International Gas Union, World LNG Report, in July 2022, Global LNG trade grew by 4.5% from 2020 to 2021, reaching an all-time high of 372.3 MT. About 6.9 million tons per annum (MTPA) of liquefaction capacity was brought online in 2021, increasing global liquefaction capacity to 459.9 MTPA1 at the end of the year. The average global utilization rate in 2021 was 80.4%, compared to 74.6% in 2020. In the first four months of 2022, an additional 12.5 MTPA of liquefaction capacity was brought online, bringing the total global liquefaction capacity to 472.4 MTPA as of April 2022.
Governments provided tax incentives and subsidies to support bio-LNG production and infrastructure development. These financial incentives help reduce the cost of producing and using bio-LNG, making it more economically competitive with conventional fossil fuels. For instance, in January 2023, according to the US Department of Energy, fueling equipment for natural gas, propane, hydrogen, electricity, E85, or diesel fuel blends containing a minimum of 20.0% biodiesel, is eligible for a tax credit of 30.0% of the cost or 6.0% in the case of property subject to depreciation, not to exceed $100,000.
The major companies serving the bio-LNG market include EnviTec Biogas AG, Iveco S.p.A., Linde plc, Shell Plc, TotalEnergies, and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in November 2022, Attero, Nordsol, and Titan collaborated to achieve a decentralized production of bio-LNG designated for use in the maritime industry. The FirstBio2Shipping project is set to deliver the first bio-LNG in early 2024. The plant will produce around 2,400 tons/year of bio-LNG (or liquefied biomethane).
