In a strategic move to diversify its operations and support India鈥檚 clean energy goals, TKIL Industries (formerly thyssenkrupp Industries India) has entered the bio-chemicals sector through a new partnership with KIS Group, a global leader in sustainable biofuel technologies. The collaboration focuses on boosting Compressed Biogas (CBG) production using advanced technology and localized biomass resources.
This association marks a significant step for TKIL Industries as it expands into the renewable energy space. By leveraging KIS Group鈥檚 expertise and proprietary technologies, the company aims to convert byproducts from sugar plants, distilleries, and other biomass sources into high-efficiency, low-emission biogas solutions.
Vivek Bhatia, Managing Director and CEO of TKIL Industries, emphasized the company鈥檚 commitment to sustainability, saying, 鈥淥ur partnership with KIS Group represents a major milestone in our journey toward a low-carbon future. Through this association, we aim to accelerate CBG development while exploring other cleaner chemical solutions as part of our evolving bio-chemicals business.鈥�
Highlighting the technological backbone of the partnership, Raghunath, Founder and CEO of KIS Group, said, 鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled to collaborate with TKIL Industries to scale up CBG as a sustainable and viable energy source for India. The integration of our proven biogas technologies with TKIL鈥檚 industrial manufacturing capabilities is set to drive meaningful impact in the energy transition landscape.鈥�
The newly formed partnership aligns with the Government of India鈥檚 ambitious targets鈥攔educing carbon emissions by 50 per cent and achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030. TKIL and KIS aim to contribute directly to these goals through the development of regenerative, scalable biomass solutions.
Adding further insight, Anmol Mudholkar, Director of Sugar, Cogen, and Bio-Chemicals at TKIL Industries, stated, 鈥淭his collaboration is focused on providing integrated, sustainable biomass solutions to decarbonize key sectors including sugar and broader industrial operations.鈥�
With growing demand for renewable alternatives, biogas production using press mud, spent wash, animal waste, and other organic materials is gaining traction as a critical pathway to both economic efficiency and environmental responsibility. TKIL鈥檚 entry into the space reflects a broader industry trend where biogas adoption is quickly becoming a strategic imperative rather than a choice.
