Biomass gasification is the technique of converting solid biomass into flammable fuel through a sequence of thermo-chemical reactions. This process is carried out by using elevated heat and pressure with inadequate supply of air (O2) for the partial combustion of biomass. The energy released through the process can be used for cooking food, producing electricity, heating, and transportation. Biomass is a feasible alternative to coal-based energy generation. It also offers a way of deriving more diverse types of energy from the thermochemical conversion of biomass than traditional combustion. Attributed to growing environmental issues and increasing green-house gas emissions, companies are shifting to environment-friendly power sources.

COVID–19 scenario analysis

The outbreak of coronavirus has an adverse effect on various energy-producing industries across the globe. The prices of oil have reduced, which result in declining demand for energy industries. The lockdown has reduced the consumption of fuel used in automobiles and aircraft due to restrictions on different types of transportation. This further reduces the demand for energy across the globe. Moreover, lack of manpower has forced companies to shut down their operating facilities, which reduce the revenue generated. These factors are expected to reduce the overall demand for biomass gasification market during the forecast period.

Top impacting factors: Market scenario analysis, trends and drivers

As a result of the growing environmental issues and rising greenhouse gas emissions, there was a shift toward environment-friendly energy sources. This is projected to offer a positive impact to the growth of the global biomass gasification market. Consequently, the biomass market has grown substantially faster than other energy sources. Furthermore, governments assist through numerous policies and guidelines together with abundant availability of biomass, which are some of the other factors that drive the market. This allows in lowering methane emissions from the decomposition of organic substances inside the landfills along with reducing the landfill spaces and groundwater contamination. However, high cost related to gasification and growing utilization of biofuels for energy generation are expected to hinder the global biomass gasification market growth.
