Biomass Power Market Key Factors

To learn more about this report, request sample copy

Rising environmental concerns around the world and growing emphasis on the use of clean energy are major factors driving the demand for biomass power. Many countries are supporting the development of biomass power industry through various incentives and policies to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Moreover, biomass is considered to be carbon neutral and help lower greenhouse gas emissions. Several power projects based on biomass gasification and combustion technologies are underway globally. Advancing technologies are also helping optimize plant capacity and efficiency. However, high production and transportation cost of biomass remains a challenge for market growth.

Policies Supporting Renewable Energy

Many countries around the world are implementing supportive policies and incentives to increase the production and usage of renewable energy in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and cut down carbon emissions. Biomass is one of the key renewable sources that is being encouraged through various policies. Several nations have introduced renewable portfolio standards that mandate utility companies and other large energy producers to generate a certain percentage of their power from renewable sources including biomass. Some jurisdictions provide tax credits, production based incentives, and premium pricing for biomass power producers. These measures make biomass power generation a more financially attractive business proposition. Meanwhile, biomass power plants are often exempted from various environmental compliance costs that thermal power projects have to bear. Such nudges through policy instruments have boosted investments in biomass power capacities. As more and more countries strengthen their commitments towards clean energy goals under the Paris Agreement, favorable policies for biomass are likely to spread wider.

Carbon Reduction Benefits of Biomass

One of the major drivers for the rising popularity of biomass power is its ability to provide carbon reduction benefits. Biomass is considered a carbon neutral source since the carbon dioxide released during combustion is equivalent to the amount absorbed by the biomass feedstock during its growth. While fossil fuel-based power generation significantly adds to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, biomass power production is seen as a relatively better option to displace coal and natural gas in the energy mix of many economies. The negative emissions that biomass offers make it an appealing technology for companies and regions aiming to lower their carbon footprint. According to some research studies, replacing coal with co-firing of biomass can help reduce lifecycle emissions from power plants by over 70%. An increasing focus on environmental sustainability and various carbon pricing mechanisms are motivating greater exploitation of biomass' carbon offset advantages. This, coupled with technology improvements, is likely to result in biomass power capacity taking up a larger share of global decarbonization efforts going forward.
