||||||
全球生质燃料市场(木质颗粒和棕榈仁壳)预计在2025年达到204.2亿美元,2026年成长至224.3亿美元,到2034年达到428亿美元。该市场扩张的原因在于可再生能源的日益普及、脱碳政策的推行以及工业和运输部门需求的成长。
生物质燃料,包括木质颗粒和棕榈壳,在碳中和能源系统中发挥核心作用。生质能碳捕碳封存(BECCS)等技术正日益受到关注,因为它们既能实现可再生能源发电,又能支持碳去除目标。农业残余物、林业产品和城市固态废弃物正越来越多地被用作原材料来源。
市场动态
市场驱动因素
对可再生能源日益增长的需求是主要驱动力。预计2030年,可再生燃料将占工业、建筑和运输部门总能源消耗的5.5%。中国、巴西、欧洲、印度和美国预计将占可再生燃料预计成长量的三分之二以上。
交通运输领域对生质乙醇、生质柴油和永续航空燃料的采用率正在不断提高。欧盟的「绿色新政」倡导碳中和的交通运输政策,而附件九的配额也支持生物质燃料的使用。水泥、钢铁、化工和造纸等产业正在向生物质燃料转型,以减少排放。
市场限制因素
儘管市场需求强劲,但高昂的资本支出(CAPEX)和营运成本(OPEX)阻碍了市场成长。生质能发电厂需要昂贵的基础设施,包括锅炉、气化炉和原料加工设施。此外,生物质能密度低且体积庞大,进一步增加了原料的运输和储存成本。
由于太阳能和风能的营运成本低、扩充性强,因此在某些没有强有力补贴的地区,生质能的吸引力相对较低。
市场机会
垃圾焚化发电发电计画蕴藏着巨大的发展机会。根据美国能源资讯署(2024年10月)的数据显示,美国每100磅一般废弃物中,就有85磅可以焚烧发电。垃圾焚化发电可将废弃物体积减少约87%,将2,000磅废弃物转化为300至600磅的灰烬。这些项目正在北美、欧洲和亚太地区迅速扩展。
市场挑战
原料供应有限和供应链不稳定是主要挑战。农业废弃物和木材残渣等生物质资源的供应量因季节和地区而异。在许多发展中地区,缺乏有组织的收集和运输系统导致采购成本高昂,并增加了原料劣化的风险。
按原料
木质颗粒占据市场主导地位,预计2026年将占86.37%的市场。木质颗粒广泛用于住宅供暖、工业供暖和发电。欧洲、日本和韩国都提供可再生能源补贴和奖励,以支持木质颗粒的推广应用。
预计棕榈仁壳(PKS)在预测期内将以8.59%的复合年增长率成长。在马来西亚、印尼和泰国,棕榈仁壳是棕榈油生产中最具成本效益的产品。
燃烧法
预计到2026年,直接燃烧将引领该领域,占56.29%的市场。诸如炉排锅炉和流体化床锅炉等技术已推动了该方法在发电和热电联产(CHP)系统中的广泛应用。
受工业和交通运输应用对生质油、生物炭和合成气的需求推动,生物质热解预计将以 9.33% 的复合年增长率成长。
透过使用
到2026年,在排放义务的推动下,工业领域预计将占市场份额的42.87%。在各行业中,煤炭、石油和天然气正被生物质燃料取代,用于火力发电和电力生产。
住宅领域占 28.27% 的份额,这主要得益于对分散式、经济高效的供暖系统的需求。
欧洲
欧洲引领市场,2025年录得124.8亿美元,2026年录得138.7亿美元。 2024年,欧洲占了60.41%的市占率。预计该地区将保持其主导地位至2034年。 2026年,英国、德国和法国的录得市场规模分别为34.6亿美元、19.7亿美元和13.8亿美元。
北美洲
预计到 2025 年,北美市场规模将达到 28.8 亿美元,其中美国市场规模预计为 27.8 亿美元。该地区得到了联邦政府资助倡议的支持,包括可再生燃料标准和美国能源部一项 1500 万美元的生物质氢气计划。
亚太地区
预计到 2025 年,亚太地区的经济规模将达到 40.7 亿美元。预计到 2026 年,中国、日本和韩国的经济规模将分别达到 14 亿美元、6.5 亿美元和 11.7 亿美元。
世界其他地区
2025 年,在能源安全倡议和丰富的农业残余物的支持下,世界其他区域市场的价值将达到 9.9 亿美元。
The global biomass fuel (wood pellets and palm kernel shell (PKS)) market was valued at USD 20.42 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to USD 22.43 billion in 2026, reaching USD 42.80 billion by 2034. The market is expanding due to rising renewable energy adoption, decarbonization policies, and increased demand from industrial and transportation sectors.
Biomass fuel, including wood pellets and PKS, plays a central role in carbon-neutral energy systems. Technologies such as biomass energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) are gaining traction as they enable renewable power generation while supporting carbon removal goals. Agricultural residues, forestry byproducts, and municipal solid waste are increasingly utilized as feedstock sources.
Market Dynamics
Market Drivers
The growing demand for renewable energy is a primary driver. By 2030, renewable fuels are expected to represent 5.5% of total energy consumption across industry, buildings, and transportation sectors. China, Brazil, Europe, India, and the U.S. account for more than two-thirds of projected renewable fuel growth.
The transportation sector is witnessing increased adoption of bioethanol, biodiesel, and sustainable aviation fuel. The European Union's Green Deal promotes carbon-neutral transport policies, while Annex IX quotas support biomass-based fuels. Industries such as cement, steel, chemicals, and paper are shifting toward biomass fuel to reduce emissions.
Market Restraints
Despite strong demand, high capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) restrain market growth. Biomass plants require costly infrastructure, including boilers, gasifiers, and feedstock handling units. Feedstock transportation and storage add further costs due to biomass's low energy density and bulky nature.
Solar and wind energy offer lower operating costs and faster scalability, making biomass comparatively less attractive in certain regions without strong subsidies.
Market Opportunities
Waste-to-energy initiatives present significant opportunities. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (October 2024), 85 pounds out of every 100 pounds of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the U.S. can be burned to generate electricity. Waste-to-energy facilities reduce waste volume by approximately 87%, converting 2,000 pounds of waste into 300-600 pounds of ash. These initiatives are expanding across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.
Market Challenges
Limited feedstock availability and inconsistent supply chains pose challenges. Biomass resources such as agricultural waste and wood residues are seasonal and region-specific. In many developing regions, the absence of organized collection and transport systems increases procurement costs and material degradation risks.
By Feedstock
Wood pellets dominate the market, holding 86.37% market share in 2026. They are widely used in residential heating, industrial heating, and power generation. Europe, Japan, and South Korea provide subsidies and renewable incentives supporting wood pellet adoption.
Palm kernel shell (PKS) is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.59% through the forecast period. PKS is a cost-effective byproduct of palm oil production in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
By Combustion Method
Direct combustion leads the segment with 56.29% market share in 2026. Technologies such as stoker boilers and fluidized bed boilers make this method widely adopted for electricity and combined heat and power generation.
Biomass pyrolysis is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.33%, driven by demand for bio-oil, biochar, and syngas for industrial and transportation applications.
By Application
The industrial segment accounted for 42.87% market share in 2026, driven by carbon reduction mandates. Industries are replacing coal, oil, and natural gas with biomass fuel for heat and power generation.
The residential segment holds 28.27% share, supported by demand for decentralized and cost-effective heating systems.
