Japanese general trading company Mitsubishi Corporation has made its entry into the global biogas market having secured a minority stake in KIS Group – an Indian biogas specialist known for its waste-to-energy and biomethane technologies.

The group will use backing from Mitsubishi to invest $1bn in renewable gas and biofuel projects across Southeast Asia, India, and Europe by 2030.
