This state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is poised to meet the growing demands of Asia Pacific and Africa

Sistema bio unveiled the world’s largest manufacturing facility for biogas plants in Chakan, Pune on World Environment Day. Spanning an expansive area of 130,000 square feet. The advanced facility boasts an outstanding annual production capacity of 100,000 prefabricated biogas plants. With a staggering investment of 150 million INR ($1.8 million), this state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is poised to meet the growing demands of Asia Pacific and Africa.

During the inauguration event, Alexander Eaton, Sistema.bio’s Co-founder and CEO, expressed his pride and appreciation for the facility, stating, “This facility is an example for the world of innovative technology and efficient business operations, creating a global impact. For every smart biogas unit that comes out of this facility, we can measure outcomes in farmers’ lives impacted, better human health, and better climate health.”

Presently, the factory operates at a daily capacity of 360 units, with future plans to double this output through automation. In comparison to the previous facility’s production capacity of 30,000 units, the new factory exhibits an annual production capacity of 100,000 units. This colossal manufacturing facility will produce biogas plants at a scale like no other in India and has been certified under ISO 9001, demonstrating the delivery of high-quality products with strict quality standards and efficient production. Sistema.bio’s revolutionary biogas technology is patented in India for biogas reactors and membrane templates. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) of the Government of India has officially recognised and approved Sistema.bio’s modern and innovative biogas technology in December 2022.

Equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, the factory efficiently produces modern biogas plants, biogas booster pumps, H2S scrubbers, and assembles a full suite of biogas plants including biodigester and cookstoves. Over the next five years, Sistema.bio India aims to implement automation to significantly increase its capacity, enabling the company to extend its reach to hundreds of thousands of farmers across the country. Furthermore, Sistema.bio has set a goal to install one million biogas plants in India by 2030.

Sistema.bio works with multiple partners in India spanning from foundations, NGOs, co-operative & private dairy, and rural development organisations to reach lakhs of farmers every year. Its innovative Carbon financing model ensures farmers receive modern biogas technology at extremely affordable rates.

Piyush Sohani, the Country Director at Sistema.bio India said, “With the launch of the world’s largest manufacturing facility for biogas plants, we are celebrating a significant milestone in the sustainable energy landscape. This state-of-the-art facility will revolutionise the biogas industry, enabling us to meet the increasing demand for clean energy solutions in India and beyond. Our commitment to innovation, quality, and environmental stewardship is unwavering, and this facility represents our dedication to impacting millions of lives in India and creating a greener and more sustainable future.”

This collaborative effort will promote biogas plants and create a value chain that will improve the livelihoods of dairy farmers

NDDB Mrida, a wholly owned subsidiary company of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) signed an agreement with Sistema.bio, India’s leading biogas company, to work with smallholder dairy farmers, provide sustainable solutions in waste-to-energy, and open avenues of generating additional income for farmers. Meenesh Shah, Chairman, NDDB & NDDB Mrida and Piyush Sohani, MD, Sistema.bio India graced the occasion. 

The primary objective of this partnership is to improve the socioeconomic stature of dairy farmers, particularly smallholder women dairy farmers, through the usage of biogas plants. Sistema bio through carbon financing will provide affordable modern flexi biogas plants to dairy farmers in NDDB’s rural network. 
The plan is to reach out to more than 25,000 farmers with biogas plants this year, with a vision to serve 3,00,000 dairy farms in the coming 2-3 years. NDDB Mrida will also promote the usage of bio-slurry produced directly or as an organic fertilizer through the sale of slurry-based products for agriculture in an enterprise mode. 

NDDB Mrida and Sistema bio will jointly work with dairy cooperatives, dairy federations, milk producer organisations and other farmer-centric institutions to install modern flexi biogas plants for small and medium dairy farmers of India and disseminate knowledge about the same and about manure management and bio-slurry applications as well.
This collaborative effort will promote biogas plants and create a value chain that will improve the livelihoods of dairy farmers and at the same time contribute towards the Swachh Bharat Mission and encourage the generation and use of green energy. NDDB has first-hand experience working with Sistema Bio while developing the Zakariyapura Manure Management Model, which is now part of the Gobardhan Scheme in Gujarat. 
This partnership perfectly synergises the capabilities and focus of both organisations. This initiative will successfully help promote organic manure leading to a reduction in the usage of chemical fertilizers as well as endorse clean cooking energy at the rural household level. At present, 40,000 farmers use biodigesters developed by Sistema bio to create value from waste.
