Sistema.bio India has reached a monumental milestone of delivering 100,000 biogas plants across 24 states, catalyzing a ‘Silent Biogas Revolution’ in rural India. This achievement brings clean energy solutions to over 600,000 people, helping replace firewood and fossil fuels, reducing emissions, and improving air quality.

Beyond clean energy access, Sistema.bio’s biodigesters produce organic biofertilizer that promotes regenerative agriculture by enhancing soil health, aiding carbon sequestration, and increasing crop productivity. This impact extends beyond energy access; it's about better livelihoods, healthier homes, and a sustainable future for rural communities.

Since its inception in 2018, Sistema.bio’s journey has been powered by strong partnerships with corporates, non-profits, financial institutions, dairy companies, and government bodies. Collaborations with leading organizations such as the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), Infosys, Amul, GCMMF, Nestle and Danone demonstrate the potential of biogas as a climate-smart, government-backed solution for India’s smallholder farmers.

Through corporate carbon programs, supply chain emission reduction and CSR projects, Sistema.bio has mitigated 692,140 tons of CO2e, treated over 15 million tons of waste, and fertilized more than 1 million hectares of land annually with nutrient-rich organic biofertilizer. These efforts empower women, promote rural development, and support regenerative agriculture.

Emphasizing the significance of the milestone Piyush Sohani, Chief Growth Officer and India Country Director, Sistema.bio, said, “Reaching 100,000 installations in just seven years is a reflection of the dedication of our team and the invaluable support from our partners. With more than 70 million dairy farmers in India, many still relying on traditional fuels, the need for clean energy technologies like biogas is enormous. Our journey doesn’t stop here—our vision is to empower 1 million farmers by 2030, further advancing India’s energy transition and climate agenda.”

While achieving 100,000 installations is a major milestone, the journey has required addressing key challenges. These include overcoming financial barriers for smallholder farmers, building awareness, and providing reliable technical support in remote areas. Notably, Sistema.bio’s biogas plants are approved by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), reinforcing the company’s efforts to drive wider adoption and scale impact across India’s farming communities.

Looking ahead, Sistema.bio is focused on scaling biogas adoption as a vital strategy for climate change mitigation. By tackling methane emissions—one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gases—the company plays a crucial role in supporting India’s net-zero targets. At the same time, replacing traditional fuels like firewood and coal with clean biogas solutions reduces indoor air pollution and builds climate resilience among rural households.
