The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Forward7 Initiative, formerly known as the Kingdom’s Clean Fuel Solutions for Cooking, has teamed up with Sistema.bio, a global social enterprise renowned for its innovative biogas technology, to launch a project aimed at providing subsidized biodigesters to small farm holders in Nepal and Indonesia.
This initiative intends to install 800 biogas units in these countries and will enable Sistema.bio to offer additional services in collaboration with key implementation partners PT. Biru Karbon Nusantara (BKN) in Indonesia and the Nepal Biogas Promotion Association.
Set to conclude in January 2025, this project represents a significant advancement in improving clean energy access for smallholder dairy farmers.
Supported by the Middle East Green Initiative, Forward7 seeks to transform the lives of rural communities by delivering clean cooking solutions that enhance health, empower women, uplift marginalized groups, and reduce CO2 emissions associated with traditional cooking methods like wood and coal.
Additionally, the initiative aims to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, and develop infrastructure in rural areas. By fostering international cooperation, it aims to address climate change challenges while promoting a sustainable future. Forward7 is dedicated to providing clean cooking solutions to 750 million people, contributing to the realization of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7.
