Waste to Energy Germany Market Analysis

The Germany Waste-to-Energy Market size is estimated at USD 4.27 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 5.36 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.66% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • With the high amount of waste generation becoming a pressing issue in the country, harnessing energy from waste is considered one of the most promising and sustainable solutions for the country's growing electricity and waste management needs. The increasing amount of waste generation, the growing concerns for its management to meet the need for sustainable urban living, and the increasing focus on non-fossil fuel sources of energy have been driving the adoption of the waste-to-energy market in the country.
  • However, the recycling rate of waste in Germany remains among the highest in the world and also offers greater economic benefits than waste incineration, which has affected market growth in the country. Besides, the adoption of the resolution by the European Commission to turn Europe into a more circular economy and boost recycling of municipal solid waste to more than 65% by 2035 is expected to affect the market for incineration as well.

The emerging waste-to-energy technologies, such as Dendro Liquid Energy (DLE), which is four times more efficient in terms of electricity generation and has the additional benefit of no emission discharge or effluent problems at plant sites, are expected to create significant opportunities for the market players over the coming years.

Waste to Energy Germany Industry Segmentation

Waste is any substance or unwanted material resulting from human activity or process. Landfilling and thermal treatment are the most common waste disposal methods in high-income countries, while middle- and low-income countries mostly dispose of waste by open dumping. Waste-to-energy plants turn solid waste into energy, which would otherwise go to landfills. This is done by burning the waste and leaving behind a small amount of ash that can be reused as road or construction aggregate, with the remainder (such as toxic waste) being disposed of in a landfill. WTE plants reduce the burden on the existing landfills and help properly disposal of waste. By technology, the market is segmented into physical, thermal, and biological technology. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done on the basis of USD billion.
