Sistema.bio, through carbon financing, will provide affordable modern biogas plants to dairy farmers in the NDDB\u2019s rural network.

During the first three months of the year, we expanded our reach across India by signing collaborations with 15 new organizations across the country. We sold 10,000 units in the first quarter, with 6,000 biodigesters sold in March alone. We broke our previous record for selling the most units in a month. A majority of our sales, i.e. 60%, comes from Maharashtra state, followed by Tamil Nadu and Gujarat at 25% and 15%, respectively. We are confident that with our new collaborations, and the steady growth in sales, we will be able to reach our goal and deliver 40,000 units by the end of the year.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the first quarter, our Technical team has successfully installed over 5,000 units, which is approximately twice as many installations as the previous quarter. The installation of 9,000 units under the India Dairy biogas carbon program was another groundbreaking accomplishment for us. We also started another carbon project in the southern region, Tamil Nadu,\u00a0 in January. In addition to this, we also strengthened our after-sales services by resolving more queries at a much faster rate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of the manufacturing team&#8217;s efforts in the first quarter, we produced over 8,000 units at a daily capacity of 150 units. The production capacity increased by 40% in this quarter. This trend will continue into the second quarter, where we plan to increase daily production capacity by investing in the latest machinery and training our staff on evolving technologies in order to accomplish this.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4a3562b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"4a3562b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d7eb44 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"9d7eb44\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b9ba23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5b9ba23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">East Africa News<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-62bbe97 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"62bbe97\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0dfb077 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"0dfb077\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f75c6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f75c6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"agreement-with-abc-rbf\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sistema.bio Kenya signs an agreement with ABC- RBF <\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b55987d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b55987d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23917\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/8.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9f73f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f9f73f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On February 20th, 2023, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.giz.de\/en\/worldwide\/21975.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GIZ-EnDev<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Kenya signed a 3 year ABC- RBF agreement with Sistema.bio Kenya. The Energising Development (EnDev) programme is a strategic partnership of like-minded donors to promote energy access.The programme is implemented in close cooperation with leading international organizations and key local stakeholders; and co-managed by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ABC intervention in Kenya (2022 to 2025) aims at facilitating a shift of the biodigester market from its pioneering to the expansion phase with focus on the installation of over 20,000 small-scale and 250 medium scale biodigesters. Through the provision of result-based financing, the Project expects to provide the last push needed for the biodigester market to reach a critical mass of clients within Kenyan farmers.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the World Bank, about\u00a0 70% of Kenyans still rely on biomass fuels such as wood and charcoal for cooking; with an estimated 23,000 Kenyans dying annually from cooking with these fuels. This disproportionately affects women and girls from poor backgrounds due to the differences in exposure.While these emissions are negligible in the context of global consumption, some estimates suggest that total greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions from residential cooking are equivalent to approximately a third of total Kenyan GHG emissions. Besides emitting GHGs, the use of these fuels also contributes to deforestation and land degradation.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where the Sistema.bio solution comes in. With the US$509,582 3 year RBF grant, an estimated 6,600 digesters will be installed; targeting vulnerable Kenyans from marginalized communities, who would have otherwise not been able to afford clean energy. This impact will not only affect their quality of life, but will also help mitigate climate change, conserve the environment, improve health conditions, and increase income opportunities for these communities.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sistema.bio Kenya continues to work with partners and investors, with a goal of reaching more farmers as we strive towards our mission to create value from waste. <\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c7f21c6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"c7f21c6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eb4883d ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"eb4883d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd2da6b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bd2da6b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"carbon-credit-finance\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Price Discount in Kenya: Thanks to Carbon Credit Finance<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d05502 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5d05502\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23923\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/7-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/7.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eee3e57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eee3e57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last few months have been marked by an alarming rise in the cost of living for Kenyans; with the prices of most basic commodities going up by even more than 50%; and the Kenyan shilling sliding steadily against the USD. In fact, there have been demonstrations with Kenyans taking to the streets demanding a reduction in the price of commodities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The move by Sistema.bio Kenya to lower biodigester prices by up to 23%, even with the rising cost of the business operation, has therefore been huge, and a surprise to many. As our East Africa Director Eng. Madrin Maina put\u2019s it: \u201cfarmers are the backbone of our economy and are the hardest hit during these tough economic times; and yet, they remain resilient\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The motivation to see our farmers thrive again and Financing from the Carbon Program in Kenya has enabled us to lower our costs. The discount runs from April 1st to June 3oth. We hope that through this move Sistema.bio will make clean energy accessible to a wider portfolio of farmers. As a ripple effect, we hope that empowering our smallholder farmers will see increased harvests; which will translate to lower prices of everyday commodities and a stable economy in the long run. With the savings on their energy costs, every shilling counts in these times and we want to walk this journey with the farmers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company remains committed to promoting clean and affordable energy, sustainable development, and reducing carbon emissions; and sees this as a positive step towards achieving these goals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59eb358 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"59eb358\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fc187d7 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"fc187d7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-657d9a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"657d9a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">LATAM News<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8b920ee elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"8b920ee\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-34230b7 ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"34230b7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-080f125 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"080f125\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"expanding-latam\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Expanding our presence in LATAM:Sistema.bio distributors<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d0d547 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2d0d547\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23929\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sistema.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/9.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-536bc46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"536bc46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2023 is the execution year for Sistema.bio LATAM and this quarter was particularly good for sales and installation efficiency. With the consolidation, organization and new goals of the regional team led by Almendra Ortiz-Tirado, partnerships for distribution of our services are more important than ever.

We are also starting talks for possible distribution in Costa Rica. With these alliances, we are getting closer to our annual goal of selling and installing more than 2,100 biodigesters throughout the Latin American region, with the objective of impacting more than 10,000 people who will have access to biogas, clean cooking, and a powerful biofertilizer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Sistema.bio grows, we are constantly looking for more distribution partners and B2B alliances to help us understand and grow our market in the region.
