Clean Up The Future
Decentralised Waste-to-Energy infrastructure for Sub-Saharan Cities
The Challenge
Sub-Saharan municipalities are rapidly urbanising but remain unequipped to manage the daily volumes of municipal solid waste generated. Without local processing capacity, this waste is burned, dumped, or abandoned—undermining public health, land use, and climate goals. At the same time, many urban districts remain disconnected from reliable power, clean cooking gas, and decentralised energy infrastructure.
The RE+CYCLE Solution
RE+CYCLE offers a modular, scalable Waste-to-Energy (WtE) infrastructure solution. Delivered by RE+CIRCLE, each unit processes 50–80 tons of waste per day—converting it into electricity, bottled biogas, and optional synthetic methane (LSNG). The ecosystem can be expanded or relocated to match urban growth.
Deployment Options
BOOT (Build-Own-Operate-Transfer)
RE+CIRCLE finances and operates the asset, then transfers it to the city or community after a set term.
Public-Private Partnership (PPP)
Shared-risk delivery model where public and private parties co-invest and co-manage.
Government or Energy Company Purchase Guarantees
Power and gas sales secured via offtake agreements with public utilities or open up monopoly for local community distributors.
Each model reduces the financing burden for municipalities while ensuring stable returns and replicability for investors. Local governments contribute land, permitting support, and utility access. RE+CIRCLE leads design, delivery, and long-term performance.
