Between 2013 and 2023, the gross electricity production from biogases in Spain exhibited fluctuating trends. After peaking in 2013 at 3.5 thousand terajoules, production witnessed several dips and recoveries, ultimately achieving a value of 3.7 thousand terajoules in 2023. The annual variations ranged significantly, with noteworthy declines observed in multiple years up to 2020, followed by more consistent growth from 2021 onwards. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years (2018-2023) stood at 2.19%, indicating a moderate upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Continued growth in biogas electricity production, with optimistic forecasts projecting a gradual increase, reaching 4.17 thousand terajoules by 2028.
- Potential influences of policy changes, technological advancements, and investments in renewable energy infrastructure on production rates.
- Market responses to fossil fuel substitution and climate change initiatives, which could drive increased biogas adoption.
