Global Biomass Briquettes Market - Market Trends & Forecast Report 2028

The global Biomass Briquettes Market was worth USD 429.0 million in 2021, and it is further projected to reach USD 701.5 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.4% during 2022-2028 (forecast period). The growth of the biomass briquettes market can be attributed to the increased demand for biomass briquettes from various sectors, particularly from industrial applications, combined with attempts to reduce fossil fuel usage. Moreover, the growing concern regarding the earth's rising temperature and fossil-fuel-induced emissions have further propelled the demand for biomass briquettes, thus driving their market growth rate.

Biomass Briquettes Market

Biomass Briquettes Overview

A Biomass Briquettes is a formulation made of rice stalks, straw, cotton stalks, bamboo sawdust, wood flour, ramie stalks, peanut husks, and other agricultural and forestry leftovers. After going through many processing methods, such as crushing, drying, mixing, molding, or compressing, it is generated by pellet machines or briquet machines. Pellets and briquettes are the end products that are utilized to replace coal, gasoline, and other traditional fossil fuels. Because the materials utilized are already part of the carbon cycle, biomass molding fuel produces minimal net greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels.

Global Biomass Briquettes Market Trends

Growth Driver

The Growing Demand for Biomass Briquettes

The key growth reason for the biomass briquettes market is the increased demand for biofuel alternatives in industrial applications, combined with attempts to reduce fossil fuel usage. To combat global warming and rising greenhouse gas emissions, governments and environmental protection agencies are working to minimize the usage of fossil fuels and non-renewable energy sources. Bio-briquettes have been discovered as a stable energy source and a sustainable alternative to coal in industrial heating applications. Other potential advantages of these blocks, such as high combustibility, low residue content, sulfur-free nature, and inexpensive nature, are promoting their utilization in various applications. The use of biomass briquettes is also good for the environment because it eliminates the on-field burning of agricultural wastes by creating a commercial market for their use as fuel. As a result, the biofuel substitutes and biomass briquettes market category is expected to grow throughout the projected period, driving demand for energy and an alternative source for renewable energy sources favorably impacting the entire market.

Growing Concerns Regarding Rising Temperature of the Earth

The earth's temperature has been rising globally over the years, and the main cause is global warming and the emission of harmful pollutants into the surrounding atmosphere. According to a report published by International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), human-induced warming reached around 1°C (likely between 0.8°C and 1.2°C) above the pre-industrial levels in 2017, swelling at 0.2°C (likely between 0.1°C and 0.3°C) per decade (high confidence). One of the most effective solutions to the problem of global warming is diversifying the clean energy resources while cutting down on the usage of fossil fuels. Since the burning of biomass briquettes does not emit harmful pollutants or does not pose a serious threat to the environment, they are being widely adopted for serving the energy needs across various sectors. Consequently, the requisition for clean energy sources and shifting trends to attain sustainable energy goals are set to drive the market over the forecast period.

Restraints

The Lack of Favourable Policies coupled with Low Awareness Regarding Biomass Briquettes

There is a scarcity of favorable policies for promoting the product as well as the utilization of bio-briquettes across different sectors. The steps taken by the Government to encourage the industries to the diversification of their fuel mix in order to curb harmful emissions have proved inadequate. Moreover, biomass briquettes are not so popular in most areas, thus restricting their usage to certain regions globally. These factors are a major challenge for the growth and expansion of the biomass briquettes market over the forecast period 2022-2028.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Biomass Briquettes Market

The unexpected breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the implementation of strict lockdown measures in most countries, disrupting the supply chains, thus hampering the biomass briquette import and export operations. Various end-use industries had to scale down or completely stop production due to contractual obligations, health and safety measures, resource availability, and project delays or cancellations due to the global pandemic. Moreover, COVID-19 directly impacted production and demand, causing supply chain and market disruption that impacted industrial operations. COVID-19 raised an issue regarding the supply chain of the market. The supply chain collapsed entirely during the pandemic, which affected the biomass briquettes as they suffered logistics issues coupled with plummeted demand for energy generation from industrial sectors. Nevertheless, with the gradual recovery of the global economy, there has been a surge in demand from numerous sectors. Furthermore, the rising adoption of biomass briquettes as a substitute source for cooking fuel is likely to propel green recovery post-Covid-19 pandemic.

Global Biomass Briquettes Market – By Type

The global biomass briquettes market has been segmented into sawdust briquettes, agro-waste briquettes, and wood briquettes based on the type of biomass used. Amidst the segmentation, the agro-waste biomass briquettes segment is the most usual source of bio-briquettes, which accounts for roughly 60% of the total production. Grain husk, groundnut shells, bagasse, and various other farm leftovers are processed into cylindrical blocks by drying, mixing, molding, or compressing in pellet machines. On the other hand, the wood briquettes are expected to exhibit a considerable growth rate over the forecast period. They are a type of fuel manufactured from compacted, dry wood. They're produced from wood waste or by-products that have been machine-compressed into a log or block shape, with or without other additives such as peat, bracken, or coffee. Briquettes made of wood are a low-cost heat source that offers a cost-effective heating source, along with consistent and efficient fires.

Global Biomass Briquette Market- Regional Insights                                         

Regarding the regional analysis, the global Biomass Briquette market can be segmented into Middle East & Africa, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. Amidst the segmentation, Europe is likely to dominate the global biomass briquette market over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the extensive usage of biomass briquettes for most European countries' domestic and industrial energy requirements. The Europe region is an abode for most of the world's large corporations. Countries including Hungary, Poland, and Austria account for the maximum consumption. Moreover, the abundance of biomass residues in these countries has resulted in greater production of biomass briquettes, thus supporting the huge and prolific market in the region.

Recent Developments

  • July 2022:  Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO) in Chhattisgarh's power hub Korba commenced greenifying its fuel mix for the purpose of thermal power generation using biomass briquettes. This initiative is aimed at minimizing the damaging effect on the environment. The company is using roughly 50 tonnes of biomass briquettes per day to cut down its dependence on fossil fuels and intensify the quantum of biomass consumption. The company intends to decrease BALCO's greenhouse gas (GHG) emission by around 4.3 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide yearly, thus attaining the net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050 through this initiative.

  • January 2022: In Sweden, biomass-fired district energy supplier Solör Bioenergy Group (Solör) has revealed that it has taken the concluding step in the attainment of SEVAB Calor Fjärrvärme AB (SEVAB), a municipal district energy business in Strängnäs. SEVAB has been given a new name Solör Bioenergi Strängnäs AB with Group subsidiary Solör Bioenergi Fjärrvärme AB as 80% owner. The municipality still retains a 20% share via Strängnäs Kommunföretag AB.
