2.5-4.5x Biogas Gains through Per Farmer Traceability and 50% Revenue Model

the biogas challenge

Household Biogas projects are a well understood emissions reduction strategy that has been implemented for over a decade across multiple markets.
‍
The process is scientifically well understood. Anaerobic biodigesters block out oxygen, resulting in decomposition of animal manure into methane-rich biogas that can be used for clean cooking and heat for the farm and household, and a nutrient rich slurry that can be used as an organic fertiliser.

The key challenge with these types of methodologies is managing performance and risk for highly decentralised operations over 10-15 year project periods.

What are the typical pain points?

The decentralised operations result in a very high cost of tracking and monitoring per tonne of carbon, relative to industrial-scale operations, and also for ensuring that units are being installed soundly and used correctly, with quick detection of equipment failure and/or fraud in installation.

our solution

Bridging Farmers to Climate Markets with Technology.

Based on bottom-up feedback from well-regarded supply chains, as well as top down feedback from global financiers and buyers, Arukah has developed a 100% at-source digital MRV to digital payments infrastructure - with first-in-market 100% integration to global carbon registry Gold Standard, for a Corsia-compliant household biogas methodology.

the 50% share

How does Arukah's 50% Revenue Share Work?

Enabled by CarbonCast infrastructure, Arukah’s first-in-market inclusive business model commits a 50% gross share of carbon credit revenue to participating farmers, based on their individually validated emissions reduction actions converting their household livestock waste into clean biogas and fertiliser for use.

Catalysing 250-450% more reductions per unit.

Demonstrated through a pilot of control (unpaid model) and paid model, leveraging on CarbonCast dMRV for per farmer traceability of biogas usage and automated payments.

In turn, up to 100 Rs/month powers a flywheel of benefits for farmers.

on the ground

We are excited to be working with a strong network of local ecosystems and partners to turn this vision into reality.

Hear from the CEO of MooPay, the fintech division of Stellapps, one of our earliest supply chain collaborators - who encouraged us to consider paying farmers to scale.
