Case Study · Market Assessment
Building a full-scale plan for the liquefied biogas market.
A global cleantech company wanted to understand how biogas becomes liquefied biogas, who leads the market, and which rules apply. We pulled the market, technology, and policy findings together so the client could plan its next steps.
The Client
The client is a global cleantech company looking to understand the process of converting biogas to liquefied biogas, along with its environmental impact, market, and key players. It engaged Prescouter through an ongoing Research Support Service License to deepen its view of the market and technology, and to develop a full-scale plan for biogas processing.
The Challenge
Understand the market.
Plan the plant.
Prescouter was asked to build a full view of the liquefied biogas industry so the client could make informed decisions, with the work organized around three questions.
-
Who is active
Players and technology
The incumbent players, the technologies they use, and their projects for liquefying biogas.
-
What the rules are
Policies and incentives
Regulations, incentives, and market structures across different countries.
-
What it takes
Permits and plant setup
The permits needed to set up liquefied biogas plants, informed by experts in the field.
Our Approach
Mapping the industry through outreach and policy analysis.
Market scouting
Directoutreach to players
Go beyond public data
We scouted incumbent players, their technologies, and their projects, then reached out to them for non-publicly available information.
Policy analysis
Policymechanisms by country
Compare the rules
We analyzed transport decarbonization mechanisms in different countries, including targets, incentives, funding, and prohibitions, and consulted experts on the permits needed to set up plants.
The Outcome
Plant metrics and vendors ready to act on.
The final summary and recommendations brought the market, technology, and policy findings together. With them, the client was able to calculate plant-specific metrics, overall energy consumption, and costs, and to get in touch with the most promising vendors Prescouter recommended.
-
Metrics
Plant-specific metrics
Inputs that let the client calculate the key figures for its own liquefied biogas plants.
-
Costs
Energy consumption and costs
A clear view of overall energy consumption and costs to support planning.
-
Vendors
The most promising vendors
Recommendations that put the client in touch with the right technology providers.
A biogas plan only works if the technology, the economics, and the rules line up. Mapping all three together shows where to start.
