Market.US announces the publication of its most recently generated research report titled, “Europe Anaerobic Digestion Market by Product Type (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB), Internal Circulation Reactor (IC Reactor), Expanded Granular Sludge Bed Digestion (EGSB)), By Industry Vertical (Paper Industry, Food and Beverage Industry, Chemical Industry), and by Region – Europe Forecast to 2031”, which offers a holistic view of the Europe Anaerobic Digestion Market through systematic segmentation that covers every aspect of the target market.

The Europe Anaerobic Digestion Market is projected to be US$ 3,385.5 Mn in 2021 to reach US$ 7,820.6 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.7%.

Anaerobic digestion refers to the process of bacterial breakdown of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. This biochemical process helps in producing a gas called biogas. This process occurs in four steps –  at first, enzymes break down large polymers, followed by acidogenic fermentation, giving rise to acetate as the primary end-product, which then proceeds with the breakdown of volatile acids into acetate and hydrogen, and lastly, both acetate and hydrogen are converted to methane and carbon dioxide.

Anaerobic digestion plants are mainly considered for energy production (electricity, heat, and biomethane). Additionally, anaerobic digestion is used to produce organic fertilizers, that not only aid in the lowering greenhouse gas emissions, but in creating a flexible source of renewable energy as well.

Anaerobic digestion for biogas production takes place in a sealed vessels called reactors, which are designed and built in a range of shapes & sizes, specific to a given site and respective feedstock conditions. These reactors contain complex microbial communities that break down waste, producing a resultant biogas and digestate, which are discharged from its digester.

Anaerobic digestion technologies serve to convert livestock manure, municipal wastewater solids, food waste, high strength industrial wastewater and residuals, fats, oils & grease (FOG), and various other organic waste streams into useable biogas.

Europe Anaerobic Digestion Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2021–2031

Increasing demand for renewable energy resources due to rising energy costs and stringent government regulations as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Anaerobic digestion technology uses microorganisms to consume waste and produce methane gas, which serves as a source of clean renewable energy. This is expected to complement revenue growth of the anaerobic digestion market in Europe.

Multiple local and state initiatives such as the Rural Utilities Services & Environmental Quality Incentives Program, provide funding, loan guarantees, and technical support for the set-up and operation of anaerobic digestion plants. The continuous advancement in technologies and increasing government funding towards the renewable energy sector are also expected boost opportunities for improved market growth during the assessment period.

However, the installation cost related to anaerobic digestion equipment is relatively high and requires a lot of financing/funding. In addition, operating expenses and maintenance costs are also high, making it difficult for agricultural professionals to obtain. This may limit market growth opportunities in the anaerobic digestion industry.
