Sistema.bio Launches its Carbon Program in Uganda

Uganda, October 18, 2022 – Sistema.bio, Africa’s leading biodigester manufacturing company  today has launched its biggest biodigester carbon program in Uganda in partnership with Native, a Public Benefit Corporation. The program, otherwise referred to as the Uganda Dairy Biogas Program, is set to benefit  small and medium dairy farms across the country. Sistema.bio and Native’s partnership  is expected to avoid over 1.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions over the project’s life.

The biodigester carbon program consists of a further partnership with local dairy organizations  and businesses. This partnership contemplates an innovative and impactful plan that will make  biogas plants more accessible to local farmers. The program in Uganda will run with a focus on  the Central, Mount Elgon, and South Western regions, with Ecosafe, Sebei Sacco, UCCCU, and  Bold Energy as the lead implementing partners.

Uganda’s Dairy Biogas Program will contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development  and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all  countries – developed and developing – in a global partnership. “Sistema.bio is aligned with the  goals of Uganda’s climate agenda and the recently announced East Africa Biodigester  Component Program from SNV. For this reason, the partnership adds critical funding, technology  and long-term services to meet such goals” Says Alex Eaton, the CEO and Co-founder of  Sistema.bio.

The benefits generated by biodigesters contribute to 9 out of the 17 SDGs. SDG 1 (No Poverty),  SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG3 (Good Health and well-being), SDG5 (Gender Equality), SDG7  (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG8 (Decent work and Economic Growth), SDG13 (Climate  Action) and SDG15 (Life On-Land).

“This type of project is core to what Native does, supporting innovative companies like Sistema.bio  that is having both a measurable GHG emission reduction while also showing progress towards  several SDGs. We are thrilled to be expanding our partnership with Sistema.bio in Uganda and  continuing to support such important work.” – Said Nell Achtmeyer, Native’s Vice President.
