What Sistema.bio does

Sistema.bio (legal entity Buen Manejo del Campo, S.A. de C.V.) is a Mexico-headquartered manufacturer and operator of prefabricated modular biodigester systems, founded in 2010 by Alex Eaton and Camilo Pagés. Its core technology is a patented hybrid-reactor anaerobic digestion system offered in 11 standard sizes from 4m³ (Sistema 6) up to multi-reactor configurations of 600m³ (Sistema 200+), accompanied by a suite of biogas appliances including cookstoves, water heaters, burners, and heating lamps. The company manufactures in ISO 9001-certified facilities in Toluca, Mexico and Pune/Chakan, India, with combined annual capacity of 100,000 units, and supplies a regenerative agriculture inputs line (Biol Pro, Biol Lex, Biol Guard, Biol Seed, Biol Hum, Biol Earth) and operates Agri-Innovation Centers as living labs.

The business operates across 35+ countries in Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, with regional offices in Mexico City, Pune, Nairobi, and Bogotá, plus a B2B dealer network and implementation partnerships with ENGIE Energy Access, EcoGen, Lanforce Energy, and Farmerline. Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware sales of biodigesters and appliances, carbon credit transactions via Gold Standard-registered programs in seven countries, in-house farmer financing, and professional services for corporate insetting program design. The company has installed 148K+ biodigesters cumulatively, serves dairy majors (Danone, Nestlé India, Amul, Gokul), development institutions (Tata Trusts, BAIF, AKDN), and agribusiness companies (Louis Dreyfus, Heineken, Sigma Alimentos), and reports $20M India revenue in 2024.

In March 2026, Sistema.bio launched FarmCarbon, a $53M first-close carbon finance vehicle backed by BNP Paribas Asset Management Alts, British International Investment, and Shell Foundation, designed to pre-finance 90,000+ additional biodigesters and mobilize $1B+ over the next decade, with an ex-ante AAe rating from BeZero Carbon and a Core Carbon Principles label. A wholly owned subsidiary acquired in 2024 (Inclusive Energy) provides in-house digital MRV capabilities that underpin the carbon credit verification stack.

Emerging players

• M-KOPA Solar: Kenya-headquartered pay-as-you-go solar home system provider serving millions of East African households. Adjacent clean energy competitor in the same smallholder customer base as Sistema.bio's Kenya and Uganda operations, with overlapping financing models.
• Toopi Organics: France-based circular-economy company producing biofertilizers from collected human urine. Comparable to Sistema.bio's bioslurry/Biol Pro biofertilizer line on the regenerative agriculture inputs side, though using a very different feedstock source.
• BURN Manufacturing: Kenya-based manufacturer of clean cookstoves serving East African smallholder households. Competes with Sistema.bio's biogas cookstoves for the same clean cooking wallet in Kenya and neighboring markets, though BURN's technology is biomass-based rather than biogas.
• ATEC: Cambodia-based clean cooking technology provider selling IoT-enabled biomass and biogas cookstoves to emerging-market households. Adjacent to Sistema.bio on the clean cooking value proposition for low-income Asian farmers but without the biodigester/carbon credit platform.
• d.light: Global pay-as-you-go solar energy company serving off-grid households in Africa and Asia. Competes with Sistema.bio for the household clean energy wallet, particularly where livestock ownership is limited and solar offers a more universal clean cooking/lighting solution.

Direct peers

• HomeBiogas: Israeli-headquartered company manufacturing prefabricated household-scale biogas systems for off-grid families and small farms. Closest direct competitor to Sistema.bio's core modular biodigester product, with overlapping smallholder farmer customer base and biogas/fertilizer value proposition.
• Cambrian Innovation: US-based provider of industrial-scale anaerobic digestion and water treatment solutions for food and beverage producers and farms. Comparable to Sistema.bio's larger Sistema 80-200+ tier and shares the same anaerobic digestion + resource recovery technology foundation.
• BioStar Renewables: US-based designer and supplier of biogas systems for dairy, swine, and food waste operations. Comparable to Sistema.bio's commercial/agribusiness tier (Sistema 30-200+), serving similar farm-scale customers with anaerobic digestion technology.

Others

• Plenty.ag: Carbon project developer focused on agricultural emissions reduction and removal. Adjacent in the agricultural carbon credit value chain to Sistema.bio's methane-destruction biodigester credits, competing for carbon finance capital and corporate offtake agreements.
• Boomitra: AI-driven soil carbon credit platform for agriculture, monetizing regenerative farming practices for smallholder and large farmers. Thematically adjacent to Sistema.bio's carbon programs, both enabling rural climate finance via MRV-backed credits for farmers.
