Case Study: Sistema.bio unlocks pre-finance and buyer confidence with BeZero Carbon

Sistema.bio unlocks $53 million financing with BeZero Carbon

The customer, Sistema.bio, is a global biogas project developer that faced a challenge in securing upfront investment for its methane-reducing biodigester project in India. This novel project type had limited pricing benchmarks, making it difficult to attract institutional investors to their FarmCarbon financing facility. BeZero Carbon's service was used to provide an independent quality signal to address this.

BeZero Carbon assigned the project an 'AA.pre' ex ante rating, highlighting its very low execution risk and high likelihood of achieving its emissions targets. This rating was a critical step in closing the $53 million FarmCarbon pre-finance facility led by BNP Paribas Asset Management and British International Investment. The BeZero Carbon rating also accelerated conversations with carbon credit buyers by providing credible, independent validation of the project's top-quartile integrity.
