Project Finance at a Glance
Why Invest in Dar Eco Circular
Bankable & Diversified Revenue
Six distinct income streams — tipping fees, energy, fertiliser, leases, carbon credits, and recyclables — reduce single-revenue concentration risk.
Sovereign-Backed Demand
Long-term waste-supply agreements with DLGA and five Municipal Councils under Cap 103 R.E. 2018 PPP Act provide contractual revenue certainty.
Climate Finance Eligible
The project avoids 1.1M tCO₂e annually — qualifying for GCF, GEF, and Article 6 carbon credit monetisation as additional revenue.
ECA-Eligible Technology
German MBT and EU-manufactured WtE equipment qualifies for European Export Credit Agency financing at concessional terms.
Strong Blended DSCR
Multi-SPV ring-fenced structure with blended platform DSCR well above 1.25× DFI covenant — strong SPV1 and SPV2 CFADS absorb development-phase SPV3.
SEZ & Industrial Anchor
1,000-acre Eco-Industrial Park in Kigamboni SEZ with dedicated utilities, renewable power, and circular material supply — attracting ESG-aligned tenants.
Ring-Fenced SPV Structure
The project is structured as three ring-fenced Special Purpose Vehicles with a HoldCo consolidation layer — standard DFI architecture allowing independent lender security and blended platform financing.
| SPV | Revenue Anchor | Est. DSCR | Debt Structure | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPV 1 — Transfer & ACoD Network | Municipal tipping fee contracts | 2.0× (est.) | AFC/AfDB senior + ECA | Bankability anchor |
| SPV 2 — Waste-to-Energy Plant | TANESCO PPA + SEZ off-take | 1.6× (est.) | AfDB + KfW + ECA | ECA-heavy structure |
| SPV 3 — Eco-Industrial Park | Lease income + utility concessions | 1.3× (est.) | Equity-led + IFC facility | Growth upside |
| Platform (HoldCo) | Consolidated all SPVs | ~1.6× blended | AFC lead arranger | AFC / DFI layer |
Six Revenue Streams
Tipping Fees
Municipal contracts for gate fees on MSW delivered to the IWF — sovereign-backed, inflation-linked
Energy Sales
50–100 MW electricity sold to TANESCO national grid and Kigamboni SEZ off-takers under PPA
Fertiliser & Compost
50,000 t/yr of organic fertiliser sold to peri-urban agriculture and export markets
Industrial Park Leases
Eco-Industrial Park land and utility concessions to green-sector tenants in the 1,000-acre SEZ
Carbon Credits
Article 6 compliant credits from avoided methane, displaced fossil electricity, and RDF displacement
RDF & Recyclables
Refuse-Derived Fuel sold to cement producers; recovered materials sold to domestic manufacturers
Blended Finance Architecture
A 70/30 debt-equity split structured for DFI bankability — senior debt from African Development Finance Institutions, ECA tranche from European Export Credit Agencies, climate concessional layer, and sponsor equity.
DFI Engagement Status
Capital Stack — $800M+ Total
70% debt, 30% equity. Each tranche is ring-fenced per SPV with cross-collateralisation at HoldCo level.
Technology Partners & Consortium
ECA eligibility rests on European-origin equipment. Our technology stack combines proven German MBT, European anaerobic digestion, and verified WtE thermal recovery.
Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT)
Pre-sorting, shredding, and organic separation before ACoD
Anaerobic Co-Digestion (ACoD)
Converts organics + faecal sludge to biogas and digestate compost
Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Thermal
1,500 t/day moving-grate incinerator with energy recovery — 50–100 MW
Eco-Industrial Park Infrastructure
Dedicated power, water recycling, and circular material flows for SEZ tenants
