Overview

The Kigali MBT facility is an integrated waste management project aimed at processing municipal solid waste (MSW) at the Nduba dumpsite. The facility will leverage a combination of mechanical processing and biological treatment, including anaerobic digestion (AD) and composting, to recover recyclables, generate biogas, and produce Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) for use in cement production. The project is designed to reduce landfill dependency, minimize environmental pollution, and create economic value through energy generation and material recovery. The facility is expected to process 400 tons per day of MSW and generate 23 GWh/year of electricity, improving Rwanda’s circular economy and sustainable waste management practices.r

Why Investing

Strong Market Demand

Kigali is experiencing a significant increase in waste volumes, presenting a unique opportunity for investment in waste management and recycling solutions. With a limited existing infrastructure, there is a growing need for innovative approaches to handle waste efficiently, ensuring a strong market for investors.

Diversified Revenue Streams

Investing in Kigali’s waste management sector offers multiple avenues for generating revenue. Potential income can be derived from electricity sales, Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) sales, compost production, gate fees, and carbon credits, providing a robust financial foundation and risk mitigation through diversification.

Environmental and Regulatory Alignment

This investment aligns with Rwanda’s ambitious zero-waste strategy, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing landfill burdens and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. By supporting regulatory initiatives, investors can play a pivotal role in driving positive environmental change while also reaping financial returns.
