GS12204 RVPA-1 Sistema.bio Global Carbon Program: Biodigesters in Kenya 2023-4
Gold Standard · GS12078 · Kenya
About this project
Sistema.bio is a social enterprise that provides access to innovative biodigester technology, training and financing to address the challenges of poverty, food security, and climate change. Sistema.bio manufactures and distributes high-quality, affordable biodigesters that enable farmers around the world to convert waste into energy and fertilizer, and works with farmers to ensure they become more sustainable, independent, and productive while mitigating the carbon emissions generated by agricultural activities. This project will provide a wide range of social, economic and environmental benefits for families and communities in Kenya through the installation of biodigesters. The project includes 7 sizes of biodigesters to adjust to the different types of farmers. The project will focus on smallholder dairy farmers in the country, especially subsistence farmers who typically use woodfuel or LPG for their energy needs both in the household and productive uses in the farm, and who currently do not manage the manure generated by their animals and have either solid or liquid storage practices for this. The project will install 15,000 biodigesters over a period of 24 months in Kenya, mainly in Central, Eastern and Rift Valley regions in Kenya.
