Germany Waste to Energy Market

The Germany waste to energy market size is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2021–2028. Growth of the market is attributed to rising concerns about waste management, rapid development in incineration, and increasing capacity development of energy recovery facilities.

For generating energy in the form of heat & electricity by treating the waste and the processing of waste into a fuel source, the energy-from-waste (EfW) process is used. The energy is generated through various types of waste. Most of the combustion fuel such as synthetic fuels, methane, ethanol, and methanol is generated through waste to energy system. By combustion system most of the heat & electricity is generated directly through waste to energy management. Another way of generating electricity is by burning materials found in landfills and also by burning solid waste. The methane gas which is byproduct of waste decays is another energy resource that comes from garbage.

The covid-19 pandemic disturbed the supply and demand of the Germany waste to energy market. Oscillating supply of raw materials, lockdown across the globe, and supply chain disorders forced manufacturers to shut down production leading to unfortunate decline in market growth. Launch of vaccines to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

• Increased demand for waste to energy facility is projected to boost the market.
• Increasing research funding for waste to energy sector is the major factor fueling the market.
• Increasing recycling rate of waste and high cost of operations is anticipated to restrict the market expansion during the forecast period.

Market Segment Insights

The thermal technology segment accounts for a key share of the market

Based on technologies, the Germany waste to energy market is fragmented into biological, physical, and thermal. The thermal technology segment accounts for a key share of the market. Growth of the market is attributed to increasing efforts to promote waste to energy plants, rising technological advancement in gasification technology, and rapid urbanization. However, the physical technology segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to factors such as increasing development of waste incineration facilities across the country, rising demand for thermal based waste to energy conversion, and increasing municipal solid waste.

The methane capture segment accounts for a significant share of the market

On the basis of formulations, the market is segregated into fermentation, methane capture, anaerobic, and others. The methane capture segment accounts for a significant share of the market. Growth of the market is attributed to increasing industrialization, rising concern about waste management, and improved standard of living. The fermentation segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to factors such as increasing population, increasing focus on non-fossil fuel sources, and rapidly emerging economy.

Market outlook

The thermal technology held a major market share in the waste to energy market. The Germanys electricity is mostly generated from biological technology, but it is anticipated that the Germany has a potential for energy generation through physical technology. The growth of the market is attributed to presence of major market players, increasing research & development activity in waste to energy sector, and rapid adoption of waste management system. However, lack of awareness about waste to energy, increasing recycling rate of waste, and high cost of operations is projected to hamper the market expansion in the coming years.
