The case
For Shubhangi and her family in Girvi, Maharashtra, traditional cooking methods came with a high price.
Every day, Shubhangi spent hours gathering firewood and cooking over a smoky fire, which not only consumed valuable time but also contributed to serious respiratory issues.
Her family’s farm was also heavily reliant on costly chemical fertilizers, straining their finances and impacting their environmental footprint.
The solution
In 2022, Shubhangi’s life transformed with the installation of a Sistema.bio biogas system. Now, she uses clean biogas for cooking, saving 3-4 hours each day that were previously spent collecting firewood.
This freed-up time allows her to focus more on family and farming, leading to a significant improvement in her quality of life.
The biogas system has also enhanced indoor air quality, reducing the respiratory risks from smoke exposure.
Sistema.bio results
Beyond cooking, Shubhangi has tapped into the benefits of biofertilizer from the system, which has boosted her crop yields.
This improvement has reduced her reliance on chemical fertilizers, leading to annual savings of INR 10,000-15,000 and contributing to a more sustainable farming approach.
As a result, Shubhangi has emerged as a community leader in sustainable practices, inspiring her neighbors with her success and demonstrating the power of clean, renewable energy in rural communities.
