TheBioLink is AI-enabled procurement infrastructure connecting biomass & bamboo suppliers directly with industrial buyers — starting with thermal power plants under India's co-firing mandate.
Climate targets, air-quality emergencies, energy security, and carbon markets all demand one thing: a trusted way to move verified biomass from fields to industry.
Coal-heavy grids worldwide need drop-in decarbonisation. Biomass co-firing cuts CO₂ today, using existing power plants — no new grid build required.
Stubble burning is linked to ~1.67M premature deaths in India (2019) — 17.8% of all deaths. Every tonne traded is a tonne not burned in the open.
Volatile global coal and gas markets push nations toward domestic fuel. Agri-residue is a local, renewable, price-stable energy input.
Compliance carbon markets are expanding globally. India's CCTS is live for ~490 entities — and coal power's inclusion is seen as when, not if.
Farmers lack reliable buyers and fast payment. Fields burn. Power plants can't meet a legal mandate because supply is fragmented. And carbon markets need auditable data that's still collected by hand.

₹61.85 crore already levied on six non-compliant plants (FY 2024-25) within CAQM's 300 km Delhi jurisdiction — and the national 5→7% co-firing target extends the same direction nationwide.
India's CCTS is mandatory today for ~490 entities across nine sectors. Coal power isn't obligated yet — but its inclusion is widely seen as a matter of when, not if.
Notified December 2025: a first-mover window projected to draw ₹50,000 crore in sector investment, create 500,000+ jobs, with ₹1,534 crore committed for 2025–2030.
