概要

Stratistics MRCによると、世界の炭層メタン市場は2024年に137億米ドルを占め、予測期間中のCAGRは6.9%で成長し、2030年には205億米ドルに達する見込みです。

炭層メタン(CBM)は、石炭層内に閉じ込められたユニークな天然ガスであり、主に石炭化プロセスで形成されたメタン(CH4)で構成されています。メタンガスは石炭粒子の表面に吸着され、石炭層内の水圧によって保持されます。CBMを採掘するには、石炭層に坑井を掘削し、水圧を下げる必要があります。水平掘削や水圧破砕などの先進的掘削技術は、ガスの回収効率を向上させています。CBMは、石炭や石油に比べて二酸化炭素や汚染物質の排出量が少なく、クリーンなエネルギー源と考えられています。発電や産業用途のほか、圧縮天然ガス(CNG)という形で自動車の燃料としても利用されています。

国際エネルギー機関(IEA)によると、2023年の世界のエネルギー関連CO2排出量は1.1%増加し、2022年から4億1,000万トン増加し、過去最高の374億トンに達しました。これは、2022年の1.3%増の4億9,000万トンに続くものです。

よりクリーンなエネルギーへの需要の高まり

世界のエネルギー消費の増加に伴い、産業や政府は石炭や石油に代わるクリーンなエネルギーとして天然ガスにシフトしています。炭層メタンはメタンを主成分とする燃料であり、従来の化石燃料に比べて二酸化炭素(CO2)、硫黄、粒子状物質の排出量が少ないです。これは、国際的な気候変動協定や、温室効果ガスの排出削減を目的とした国の施策に合致しています。さらに、CBMは、特に石炭埋蔵量が豊富な地域において、信頼性の高いエネルギー安全保障ソリューションを提供し、輸入天然ガスや原油への依存度を低減することで、市場の成長を後押しします。

初期資本と生産コストが高い

掘削プロセス、脱水、メタン抽出には高価な技術を必要とするため、操業コストが上昇します。さらに、炭層メタン抽出における水管理プロセスは複雑であり、生産された水の適切な処分や治療が必要となるため、さらに費用がかさみます。多くの企業は、場所によって異なる炭層からのメタン収量が不確実なため、資金を確保するのが難しいという問題に直面しています。こうした高コストは、天然ガス価格の変動と相まって、炭層メタン事業への投資を抑制し、市場の成長を制限する可能性があります。

採掘・生産技術の革新

水平掘削、水圧破砕、強化された炭層刺激などの革新は、炭層メタン回収の効率を向上させてきました。これらの進歩は、操業コストを削減しながらガス抽出率を高め、CBM生産をより経済的に実行可能なものにしています。さらに、先進的な水処理技術の開発により、生産水の管理が改善され、環境問題にも対処できるようになりました。さらに、炭層メタン生産における人工知能(AI)とリアルタイムのモニタリングの統合も効率を高め、メタン漏れを減らし、安全対策を向上させ、市場の成長を促しています。

再生可能エネルギー源の採用増加

COVID-19の影響

景気減速は産業活動の衰退を招き、炭層メタンを含む天然ガスの消費に直接影響を与えました。さらに、パンデミック(世界的大流行)時の財政制約により、探鉱・生産プロジェクトが延期され、市場の成長がさらに鈍化しました。しかし、パンデミックはエネルギー多様化の必要性を浮き彫りにし、一部の政府を国内エネルギー源の見直しに導いた。経済が回復するにつれて、よりクリーンで費用対効果の高いエネルギー源への需要が、炭層メタンプロジェクトへの関心を再び高めると予想されます。

予測期間中、従来型セグメントが最大となる見込み

従来型セグメントは、その確立された採掘技術と低い技術的リスクにより、予測期間中最大の市場シェアを占めると予想されます。従来型炭層メタン採掘は、掘削と脱水プロセスがより単純であるため、先端技術へのアクセスが限られている企業にとって魅力的です。さらに、成熟した石炭盆地と既存のガスインフラを有する地域は、在来型炭層メタン生産の成長を支え、市場の成長を牽引しています。

予測期間中、発電セグメントが最も高いCAGRが見込まれます。

予測期間中、発電セグメントは安定的かつ効率的な発電用燃料源であり、石炭火力発電所と比較して低排出ガスであるため、最も高い成長率を示すと予測されます。産業の電化の増加と新興諸国における信頼できるエネルギー源の必要性が、CBMベースの電力需要を促進しています。低炭素エネルギー源を支援する政府のインセンティブや施策が、発電における炭層メタンの採用をさらに後押ししています。

最大のシェアを占める地域

予測期間中、北米地域が最大の市場シェアを占めると予想されるのは、豊富な石炭埋蔵量と確立された天然ガスインフラがCBM生産を経済的に実行可能にしているためです。米国とカナダは、有利な政府施策と規制枠組みに支えられ、非在来型ガス探査のパイオニアとなっています。加えて、よりクリーンなエネルギー源とエネルギー自給への需要が、CBM採掘への投資増加につながっています。北米の厳しい環境規制と先進的採掘技術は、サステイナブルCBM生産を保証し、市場の優位性をさらに確固たるものにしています。

CAGRが最も高い地域

予測期間中、アジア太平洋は最も高いCAGRを示すと予想されます。これは、中国、インド、オーストラリアなどの国々が、増大するエネルギー需要を満たすためにCBM生産能力を急速に拡大しているためです。この地域には膨大な未開発の石炭埋蔵量があり、採掘の大きな機会を提供しています。中国やインドの政府は、輸入天然ガスへの依存度を下げるため、施策的インセンティブやインフラ整備を通じてCBMプロジェクトを積極的に支援しています。アジア太平洋では工業化と都市化が進んでおり、安価でクリーンなエネルギーへの需要が高まっています。
