Biogas Industry Outlook, Key Trends and Competitive Landscape Report 2025: Production Shows 19% Growth: Can It Quadruple by 2030?
Biogas Outlook 2025: With 105 billion tonnes of organic waste produced annually and 98% untreated, biogas offers a viable clean energy solution. Challenges include high capital costs and policy uncertainty. Sector growth is notable at 19% (2017-2022), but accelerated progress is crucial to meet 2030 targets. Dublin, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Biogas Outlook, Trends and Key Players - 2025" report has been added to offering. Global biogas and biomethane outlook and trends, breakdown of biogas demand by sector and country, breakdown by biomethane demand by sector, analysis of feedstock energy potential and GHG abatement potential, breakdown of biogas production by country and by feedstock type, overview of biogas plants currently under construction, breakdown of implemented biogas policies by country, analysis of deal activity relating to biogas by quarter and country, breakdown of key players exploring and/or investing in biogas. Humans, directly or indirectly, contribute to the generation of over 105 billion tonnes of organic waste globally each year, all of which produce methane and other greenhouse gases directly into the atmosphere during their decomposition. 98% of that waste goes untreated and unrecycled, presenting an opportunity to leverage biogas technologies to convert these wastes into clean energy. However, these technologies are not without their challenges. High capital costs, especially for large-scale biogas plants, a lack of sustainable feedstock availability, policy and regulatory uncertainty, and limited supporting infrastructure are all impacting the commercial viability of biogas. Biogas and biomethane are renewable energy technologies produced from the anaerobic digestion process. This process of converting waste to energy promotes circular economies, energy independence, food security and sustainable agriculture. However, these technologies are not without their challenges. High capital costs, especially for large-scale biogas plants, a lack of sustainable feedstock availability, policy and regulatory uncertainty, and limited supporting infrastructure are all impacting the commercial viability of biogas. The market outlook for biogas shows some growth. According to the World Biogas Association, between 2017 and 2022, the biogas sector experienced a growth rate of 19%. The production was concentrated in the European, American, Chinese and Indian markets, with Europe responsible for around half of this production. However, to meet the IEA's 2030 NZE Scenario targets, this pace of growth will need to nearly quadruple. To achieve this target, countries must increase their biogas ambitions and resolve its implementation challenges. Governments and governing bodies must ensure coordinated policy-making across agriculture, waste management, energy and transport to deliver an integrated approach to developing biogas. Key Highlights According to the World Biogas Association, between 2017 and 2022, the biogas sector experienced a growth rate of 19%, reaching 445TWh in 2022. In 2018, almost two-thirds of biogas production was demanded to generate electricity and heat. Only 9% was demanded to upgrade to biomethane. The potential to generate energy from currently available major feedstocks is around 12,000TWh. According to the WBA, this energy is enough to meet around 6-9% of the world's primary energy consumption. According to the IEA, compared with 2017-2022, global biogas production growth is expected to accelerate over the 2023-2028 period, with a CAGR of 5%. There are 127 biogas projects under construction, with the majority being held in the planning stage (53).

India central bank's large rate cut squeezes forward premiums, leaves rupee vulnerable, analysts say
By Nimesh Vora and Jaspreet Kalra MUMBAI (Reuters) -The Reserve Bank of India's surprise outsized rate cut last week will leave the rupee vulnerable to further depreciation by pressuring already depressed foreign exchange forward premiums, several analysts said on Monday. The rupee has underperformed its Asian peers in 2025 amid weak capital flows. A narrowing interest rate differential — with the U.S. Federal Reserve moving slower than the RBI in cutting rates — suggests the Indian currency may continue to lag. MARKET REACTION The 1-month U.S. dollar/rupee forward premium — typically more sensitive to liquidity conditions — fell to 7.5 paisa, its lowest level since November. Meanwhile, the 1-year premium, which is more responsive to rate differential between the U.S. and India, declined to 1.5250 rupees, marking its lowest level in nearly a year. GRAPHIC: WHY IT'S IMPORTANT A drop in dollar/rupee forward premiums makes the rupee less attractive for carry trades, and diminishes the incentive for exporters to hedge future receivables. At the same time, it raises the likelihood that importers—who typically hedge near-term payment obligations—will step up their hedging activity. The decline in premiums - a less favourable rate differential between the U.S. and India - could leave the rupee open to sharper depreciation. CONTEXT Against the backdrop of benign inflation and the need to support growth, the Reserve Bank of India last Friday delivered a larger-than-expected 50 basis point rate (bps) cut, exceeding the 25 bps anticipated by economists. In a further easing move, the central bank slashed the cash reserve ratio for banks. KEY QUOTES "One thing the rupee had going for it is that it offered attractive carry ... with the 50-bps rate cut from the RBI, carry attraction has been reduced," Mitul Kotecha, head of FX and EM macro strategy Asia at Barclays, adding that in an environment where investors are again focussed on carry, the rupee's appeal has been diminished. Falling premiums can be a "mild added headwind" for the rupee amid globally elevated yields, Dhiraj Nim, FX strategist at ANZ Research, said, and pointed out that if India growth data weaken, there could be scope for one more rate cut.

Japan Should Use Asia Trade Bloc in US Talks, Party Chief Says
Japan should take a bigger role in a regional free trade agreement and use its expansion as a bargaining tool in tariff negotiations with the US, the leader of the country's largest opposition party said on Monday. Yoshihiko Noda, president of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, was speaking to reporters in Tokyo after the country's chief negotiator returned from a fifth round of talks in Washington with little sign of a reprieve from US tariffs.
