Methane Market: Dynamics
Methane is generally consumed in the form of natural gas. Its production can also be classified into unconventional and conventional as gas extraction is based on different geological formations i.e., coal bed methane, shale and tight gas. Apart from traditional product, advent of synthetic methane has gained popularity in the recent past. Growing need for natural gas alternatives along with reduction in CO2 emissions has increased the consumption of synthetic methane in 2020. However, high penetration of natural gas in gas fired power stations along with growing product demand from industrial sector has led to the growth of methane market.
Methane is widely used in power generation as the global demand for electricity rises. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity demand is likely to grow by 5% in 2021 and 4% in 2022, with more than half the demand being met by fossil fuels. The majority of electricity demand is driven by global economic recovery, especially in China and India. Despite of economic uncertainty and headwinds, strong policy support associated with natural gas in these countries are likely to drive methane demand in Asia Pacific. In addition, ongoing reforms pertaining to the use of natural gas in energy mix is further projected to foster the methane market growth in the extended run.
High demand for methane in transport fuel has driven the production of natural gas in the past. However, growing demand for liquified natural gas (LNG) as fuel for road and river transport vehicles in Asia is further likely to drive the methane market demand over the years. Also, industrial sector has majorly contributed in increasing demand for methane with growing number of gas to chemical projects. Increasing demand for ammonia, methanol, urea, and ammonium nitrate among other chemicals has fostered the production of methane on large scale. According to IEA, India’s production of urea is projected to increase up to 30.1 Mtpa by 2025. In addition, growth in fertilizers industry especially in Bangladesh and Pakistan is projected to positively influence methane demand in industrial sector.

From perspective of strategic development in decarbonizing ecosystem, industry participants in the methane market are focused on producing and supplying synthetic methane through industrial partnership. Carbon neutrality is one of the major factors augmenting such partnerships. For instance, in November 2021, Mitsubishi Corporation and Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd. announced their strategic partnership intended towards developing international synthetic methane supply chain. Similarly, in November 2021, Engie and CMA CGM Group partnered for producing and distributing decarbonized fuels i.e., synthetic methane which is targeted toward decarbonizing shipping sector. Increasing number of collaborations among industry participants emphasizing carbon neutrality is further driving the demand for synthetic methane and is subsequently driving methane market growth.
Methane Market: Prominent Regions/Countries
The global methane market is expected to expand significantly during the forecast period, owing to the increasing demand for power generation in conjunction with rebound post crisis. Asia Pacific led the methane gas market in 2020. The growth in this region can be attributed to strong reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity generation along with high demand for electricity from end-use sector in India and China. Electricity demand growth in China and India accounted for 4% and 10% during 2019-2020. In addition, after relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions, high product demand from automotive and industrial sector in these countries spurred the market growth. Apart from Asia Pacific, high growth in demand of natural gas was witnessed in natural gas producing regions. For instance, methane market was majorly driven in North America, Middle East and North Africa with increasing power requirements and high transition of coal to natural gas switching in 2020.
