Market Overview

of Global Membrane Separation Biogas Upgrading market:
The latest research study on the global Membrane Separation Biogas Upgrading market finds that the global Membrane Separation Biogas Upgrading market reached a value of USD 525.8 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 1495.91 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.04% during the forecast period.

Membrane separation technology can be used to upgrade raw biogas to biomethane which required to remove unwanted and harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and Hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

Affect the normal operation of the industry
The raging COVID-19 plunged the global economic environment into depression. The impact of COVID-19 on the Membrane Separation Biogas Upgrading industry will involve all major links and all entities in the industry chain. The company's management efficiency has declined, commuting has been severely hindered, production plans have been severely hindered, network expansion has been delayed, marketing has been delayed, brand adjustments have been forced, market sales have declined, and company and employee revenue have declined. The government has also put forward higher requirements for the production and operation of enterprises.
In the short term, from the supply side, the company's operating pressure will increase due to postponement of workers' arrival and logistics and transportation issues. In the long run, as the epidemic gradually improves or ends, the impact on the Membrane Separation Biogas Upgrading industry will gradually weaken. Production and sales will return to the original level and gradually increase.

Logistics
Due to the epidemic situation, many countries have imposed controls on domestic transportation and the movement of people, and imposed restrictions on imported goods. This has led to various levels of logistics disruption, cargo accumulation and transportation delays.

Limitations
Polysulfone, polyimide or polydimethylsiloxane are the common membrane materials for biogas upgrading. The gas rate of permeation is controlled by the solubility coefficient and diffusion coefficient of the gas-membrane system. The main disadvantage of membrane separation is that multiple steps are required to reach high purity. This technology for biogas upgrading is based on gas dissolution and diffusion into polymer materials (membranes). When a differential pressure is applied on opposing sides of a polymer film, gas transport across the film (permeation) occurs. Moreover, regulations related to plasticization of polymeric membranes are restraining the growth of the Membrane Separation Biogas Upgrading market.
In addition to membrane technology, existing purification processes for biogas also include pressurized water scrubbing, amine swing absorption, pressure swing adsorption, temperature swing adsorption, cryogenic separation, etc., The development and application of these technologies may threaten the development of Membrane Separation Biogas Upgrading Industry.

Opportunities
Although, membrane technology is a technology competing with other biogas purification processes. But, membrane sepa-ration may be combined with pressurized water scrubbing (PWS), amine swing absorption (AS), pressure swing adsorption (PSA), temperature swing adsorption (TSA), and cryogenic separation to clean up the biogas.
These hybrid processes have lower investment and operation costs compared with single-step processes. Another interesting option is multi-membrane stage process which shows low investment and operation costs with high recovery.
The research and development of membranes and new membrane materials including neat polymers, neat inorganics and MMM will bring new opportunities to the industry. For, example, current MMM consist of an organic polymer with inorganic (or organic) dispersed particles which may be a zeolite, carbon molecular sieve (CMS), carbon nanotubes (CNT), nano-size inorganic particles or metal-organic frameworks (MOF). MMM are interesting as they present higher selectivity, higher permeability or both, compared to existing polymer membranes. MMM also have increased mechanical properties and resistance to plasticization compared to neat polymer membranes because of the dispersed particles. MMM are thus believed to be a new type of membrane suitable for biogas upgrading.
