Sistema.bio Secures $15 Million in Financing to Fuel Global Expansion.

Biogas technology leader Sistema.bio has secured $15 million in new financing to drive its global expansion and develop additional bioenergy products for the agricultural sector. The company, which has experienced a fivefold increase in sales over the past three years, attributes its growth to the positive climate, economic, and health impacts its solutions have delivered to farmers worldwide.

The funding will enable Sistema.bio to expand partnerships, enter new markets, and enhance its product offerings. The financing round was led by ElectriFI, managed by EDFI Management Company, with full backing from existing investors. Key equity contributors included Chroma Impact Investment, KawiSafi Ventures, AXA IM Alts, Blink CV, and EcoEnterprises Fund.

Several lenders, including FMO, Triodos, and EcoEnterprises, extended their credit facilities, while catalytic junior debt was provided by BIX Capital and the Shell Foundation, with co-funding from UK aid. This financial support highlights the strong backing from both philanthropic and development-focused partners.

This funding will help Sistema.bio continue its mission to provide sustainable biogas solutions, assisting farmers in transitioning to cleaner energy while enhancing their economic resilience and contributing to global climate goals. The company is preparing for a Series C financing round in 2025 to further its growth and diversification.

“This strategic investment underscores our investors' confidence in our mission to scale up transformative solutions across Asia, Africa, and Latin America,” said Joyce Chacho, Independent Board Chair at Sistema.bio. Liesbet Mijlemans, Senior Investment Officer at EDFI Management Company, added, "Their technology not only provides clean energy but also boosts agricultural resilience, critical for underserved regions."
