Who is our customer?
Buen Manejo del Campo S.A. de CV (operating under the name Sistema.bio), incorporated in 2010 in Mexico, is a company that designs, manufactures, distributes, sells, and finances a range of prefabricated and modular biodigesters plus related accessories to small- and medium-sized farms.
What is our funding objective?
This funding will enable Sistema.bio to establish a biochar-based fertilizer business line in Kenya, turning agricultural residues into regenerative inputs that improve soil health, reduce farmer costs, and generate carbon removal credits while creating inclusive economic opportunities. FMO’s TA Contribution covered by the Access to Energy Fund will be used for carbon project development and MRV systems, market development and route-to-market strategies, and capacity building and training for local operators and farmers.
Why do we fund this investment?
FMO funds this project to support its high-impact customer in scaling its impact and innovating beyond its core biodigester business. The initiative pilots a new business model, biochar production integrated with bioslurry, opening pathways for climate-smart agriculture and carbon markets. By providing catalytic funding, FMO accelerates implementation, contributes to de-risking early-stage innovation, and strengthens market development that would otherwise be delayed. This aligns with FMO’s mandate to foster inclusive business, drive sector innovation, and deliver measurable climate impact under the Access to Energy Fund.
