SISTEMA BIO

Designs, builds and sells patented, cost-saving biodigesters to small-scale farmers. These low-cost, modular biodigesters convert cow manure into energy and fertilizer while simultaneously protecting groundwater and improving soil health. Started in 2010, Sistema Bio has installed over 75,000 units that have improved the lives of over 215,000 farmers in Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia, Kenya, and India. Sistema’s first loan improved the company’s working capital position and their second working capital loan bridged the gap between biodigester sales and the collection of carbon payments.
