TKIL Industries, formerly thyssenkrupp Industries India Pvt. Ltd., has entered the green hydrogen sector through a strategic investment in SoHHytec SA, a Swiss innovator in green hydrogen technology. This partnership will harness SoHHytec’s advanced artificial photosynthesis (photo-electrolysis) technology to produce green hydrogen from renewable energy sources like solar and wind, targeting industrial applications. Under the agreement, TKIL Industries will serve as SoHHytec’s exclusive partner in India, handling the manufacturing, supply, implementation, and installation of green hydrogen projects. The collaboration also focuses on developing a local supply chain for green hydrogen equipment, aligning with India’s 'Make in India' initiative. Vivek Bhatia, Managing Director and CEO, TKIL Industries, emphasised the strategic importance of this partnership in driving sustainability and emission reduction, particularly for hard-to-abate sectors. He stated that the collaboration is key to accelerating India’s green hydrogen production and achieving its clean energy goals. The company expects to announce its first orders soon, reflecting strong market interest. Dr Saurabh Tembhurne, CEO and Founder, SoHHytec, highlighted the unique advantages of their technology, including its cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and reliance on locally sourced materials. He expressed confidence that the partnership would significantly contribute to the global energy transition. The green hydrogen produced will support critical industries such as steel, fertilisers, bio-chemicals, cement, and transportation, offering a cost-effective and sustainable energy solution. This aligns with India’s National Hydrogen Mission, which seeks to position the country as a global leader in green hydrogen by 2030. Through this collaboration, TKIL Industries and SoHHytec aim to deploy scalable hydrogen production projects across key industrial regions in India, advancing the nation’s industrial decarbonization and clean energy objectives.
