The global biomass gasification market size is anticipated to reach USD 229.45 billion by 2033 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising demand for renewable and low-carbon energy generation remains a core growth driver for the biomass gasification industry. Increasing focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening energy security, and meeting national decarbonization targets is accelerating the adoption of biomass gasification technologies across key markets.
The growing emphasis on waste-to-energy conversion and sustainable waste management is reshaping the energy ecosystem and supporting wider deployment of biomass gasification plants. Governments and industries are increasingly using agricultural residues, forestry waste, and municipal solid waste (MSW) to produce syngas for power and heat generation, helping reduce reliance on landfills and minimize open burning of crop waste. This shift is encouraging utilities and industrial operators to scale biomass gasification projects, especially in regions facing high waste volumes and rising energy demand.
Advancements in gasifier technology and syngas cleaning systems are also accelerating market growth. Continuous improvements in gasifier efficiency, feedstock flexibility, and emissions control, along with better tar reduction and purification technologies, are making biomass gasification systems more reliable and commercially viable. Developers are also focusing on modular and scalable gasification solutions to improve project economics and enable faster deployment across distributed energy applications.
Supportive government policies and investment programs are further strengthening market growth. Renewable energy incentives, waste-to-energy mandates, and funding for advanced bioenergy projects are accelerating technology adoption and encouraging new project development. At the same time, collaborations among technology providers, EPC contractors, utilities, and industrial end-users are improving commercialization readiness and supporting the long-term growth of the biomass gasification industry.
