Transforming Wastewater into Clean Energy, Fertiliser, and Water
Kagesi Development converts industrial wastewater, cluster housing wastewater, and municipal sewage into clean energy, climate-smart fertilisers, and reclaimed water—creating sustainable solutions for cities, industries, and communities across Africa.
A Hybrid Organization with Three Powerful Capabilities
Kagesi Development combines project development, venture capital, and innovation building to transform underutilized waste streams into new infrastructure assets that generate energy, produce fertiliser, and recover water.
Project Development Company
Designing and delivering circular infrastructure projects from concept through construction
Venture Capital Platform
Investing in early-stage circular economy technologies and innovations
Innovation Venture Builder
Creating scalable climate infrastructure businesses that drive systemic change
Multidisciplinary Expertise
Our team brings together deep expertise across multiple domains, allowing us to develop projects that deliver both strong commercial returns and measurable environmental impact.
Integrated Wastewater-to-Value Solutions
Four core platforms that transform waste streams into clean energy, climate-smart fertilisers, reclaimed water, and bankable infrastructure projects.
EnergyLoop
Formerly BioLoop
Converts municipal sewage, industrial wastewater, and cluster housing wastewater into renewable electricity using advanced anaerobic digestion and biogas power generation systems.
FertiLoop
Organic Fertiliser Production
Processes digestate from biogas systems into high-quality organic fertiliser used in agriculture, landscaping, and soil restoration.
WaterLoop
Water Recovery & Purification
Recovers and purifies wastewater for industrial, agricultural, and non-potable reuse, reducing water scarcity and improving water security.
VentureLoop
Circular Infrastructure Investment
Kagesi's investment platform designed to mobilize blended finance for wastewater-to-value projects, structuring investments from DFIs, climate funds, impact investors, and commercial financiers.
Advanced Wastewater-to-Value Technologies
Kagesi deploys complementary technologies that combine enhanced anaerobic digestion and thermochemical sludge conversion to maximise energy and resource recovery from wastewater systems.
Enhanced Anaerobic Digestion
Converts organic material in wastewater into methane-rich biogas through a biological process where microorganisms break down waste in the absence of oxygen. The captured biogas is then used to generate renewable electricity and heat.
Thermochemical Sludge Conversion
For sludge streams that cannot be efficiently processed through biological digestion, thermochemical technologies convert sewage sludge into energy-rich gases while enabling the recovery of valuable nutrients.
Maximising Recovery Through Integration
By integrating these complementary processes, Kagesi maximises resource recovery from wastewater systems while reducing sludge disposal costs, lowering methane emissions, and transforming wastewater treatment infrastructure into clean energy–producing circular systems.
Turning Systemic Problems into Bankable Solutions
Across Africa, cities and industries face interconnected challenges. Kagesi Development transforms these problems into climate-positive infrastructure projects.

How We Operate
Kagesi operates through a dual venture-building and project development model. We identify infrastructure opportunities, design commercially viable solutions, structure blended finance, attract strategic partners, invest in circular innovations, and develop fully bankable projects from concept through construction.
This approach positions Kagesi as both a developer and an early-stage investor, driving the next generation of circular economy infrastructure in Africa.
Building Africa's Circular Infrastructure Future
From foundation to regional expansion, Kagesi Development is rapidly advancing the circular economy across Southern Africa.
Foundation
Kagesi Development founded in Zimbabwe with a mission to transform Africa's wastewater challenges into circular infrastructure opportunities.
Rapid Acceleration
Launched prefeasibility studies, investor engagement processes, EPC partnerships, and venture-building initiatives across the SADC region.
Project Pipeline Development
Advancing multiple wastewater-to-value projects across Zimbabwe and Botswana, with active capital raising and strategic partnerships.
Regional Expansion
Scaling circular infrastructure solutions across SADC markets, creating a new generation of climate-positive infrastructure in Africa.
