The global waste-to-energy market is expected to attain a valuation of USD 43.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 88.96 billion by 2033, trailing a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period.
The rising demand for the incineration process and increased public expenditure on waste-to-energy initiatives are expected to drive market growth. Furthermore, the market is predicted to experience a significant growth due to the factors such as:
- Consumer preference for efficient and convenient waste-to-energy conversion techniques like incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis.
- Consumer Preference for biochemical treatments such as aerobic and anaerobic digestion
- Supportive government policies have been instrumental in driving the waste-to-energy market. Moreover, several countries have implemented policy-level initiatives to foster the development of this market.
- In the United States, regulations under the Clean Air Act mandate the installation and operation of landfill gas collection and control systems in municipal solid waste landfills. As a result, around 256 billion cubic feet of landfill gas was collected at 327 landfills in the United States in 2020. This gas was utilized to generate around 10 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, accounting for around 0.3% of the total utility-scale electricity generation in the country.
- In March 2020, the MNRE updated the rules for its waste-to-energy program, introducing new guidelines that include municipal solid waste (MSW)-based projects. These additions are expected to drive market growth in India during the forecast period.
- Emerging waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies such as Hydrothermal Carbonisation (HTC) offer potential for market growth. Additionally, HTC accelerates the geothermal conversion of wet waste using an acid catalyst under high pressure and heat, generating hydrochar with fuel-like properties akin to fossil fuels.
Key Takeaways:
- The market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand with a promising CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.
- North America is expected to generate growth in the market with a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period.
