The Challenges You Face
Infrastructure Yield Compression
Traditional African infrastructure (roads, ports) delivering 8-12% IRR with 5-10 year contracted terms. Limited access to long-duration (25-30 year), inflation-protected renewable energy assets with proven offtake.
Impact Verification Pressure
ESG mandates (Article 9 SFDR, Regulation 28 ESG integration) require measurable impact metrics beyond carbon reduction — jobs created, land restored, SDG alignment — with third-party verification.
De-Risked African Deal Flow
Shortage of bankable, shovel-ready African renewable projects with: Proven technology (not pilot-stage), Contracted off-take (not merchant exposure), Blended finance structure (DFI co-investment reducing risk).
De-Risked Infrastructure Investment
TerraFerm Africa offers institutional-grade project finance structures with DFI co-investment, 25-30 year contracted revenue, and blended finance-ready capital stack.
Infrastructure Returns
12-18% IRR (Equity) | Long-Duration Contracted Cash Flows
- •25-30 year PPAs with inflation-linked (ZAR CPI) escalation
- •Comparable to conventional infrastructure with higher yield due to carbon credit upside and agribusiness diversification
Carbon Revenue Upside
+2-4% IRR Enhancement | Verra/Gold Standard Monetization
- •Carbon removal credits (2.1 tCO₂e per MWh) provide additional revenue stream beyond energy offtake
- •Voluntary carbon market pricing currently $15-30/tCO₂e, projected $50-100/tCO₂e by 2030
Proven Technology
90-95% Availability | 20,000+ Global Biogas Plants
- •Established biogas-to-power technology with 90-95% capacity factor
- •Not pilot-stage: Jenbacher/Caterpillar CHP engines with proven 25-year operating life
- •Comparable to conventional baseload generation
