Africa’s leading biodigester, Sistema.bio, has expanded biodigester technology solutions into West and Southern Africa to become Africa’s Largest Biodigester company.
Engie Access, an off-grid energy services company has partnered with Sistema.bio to introduce biogas digesters in Zambia and Mozambique. The partnership also includes the support of Modern Clean Cooking Facility for Africa (MCFA), aims to reach over 10,000 small holder farmers in the two countries.
In Zimbabwe, Sistema.bio’s expansion has been enabled through implementation partners Lanforce Energy, aiming to install over 2500 biodigesters in the country within four years. This initiative underscores Sistema.bio’s commitment to addressing energy challenges, promoting environmental sustainability and supporting access to affordable, clean and modern cooking solutions in Africa.
In West Africa, Sistema.bio Africa has partnered with Farmerline in Ghana and SNV Netherlands Development Organisation in Nigeria. The first biodigesters in Nigeria were successfully installed in July 2024, marking the beginning of a transformative journey towards sustainable agriculture and renewable energy adoption in the west Africa region.
Commenting on this expansion, Madrin Maina, Sistema.bio’s Director in Africa, said that the technology and experience at the company create business models to accelerate clean and reliable energy access across Africa.
“Sistema.bio’s biodigester technology represents a climate smart energy solution for small holder farmers that is rapidly scalable, can be tailored to local conditions and has the potential to empower millions of people in communities across Africa. Through our recent collaborations and partnerships with Africa’s leading green energy organizations we are now positioned as the leading biodigester company within the African continent,” Maina remarked.
