The Project

Ghana’s Integrated Waste-to-Fuel Value Chain

Hamtracom Ltd is developing Ghana’s first integrated municipal solid waste-to-fuels infrastructure. The system begins with structured MSW collection across eligible assemblies within a 60 kilometre catchment of Akraman, anchored on the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area, transitions through high-throughput transfer sites designed for rapid cross-docking, and ends at an RD100 and SAF refinery at Akraman in the Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipality, with direct access to the N6 highway and the wider Greater Accra catchment.

  • Ring-fenced feedstock contracts with GAMA assemblies and licensed private haulers, with put-or-pay enforcement and a contracted 1,500 t/day target guaranteeing the 1,200 t/day gate requirement
  • Drop-in hydrocarbons including RD100 Renewable Diesel, Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and renewable naphtha aligned with international ASTM D7566 and EN 15940 specifications
  • IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles compliance built into every stage of design, permitting, and operation
  • Scalable platform with the Akraman site designed to be replicated across other strategic N-road corridors in Ghana
Technology

World-Class Process Engineering

The RD100 process chain converts heterogeneous municipal solid waste into premium, drop-in renewable hydrocarbons through a proven, fully integrated pathway licensed from world-leading technology providers.

🏭

MSW Pre-Treatment & Sorting

Incoming waste is received at enclosed, negative-pressure facilities. Mechanical biological treatment removes inerts, recovers recyclables, and homogenises the organic fraction into refuse-derived fuel for thermochemical conversion.

Stage 1
🔥

Gasification & Syngas Cleanup

Pre-treated RDF undergoes high-temperature thermochemical conversion producing synthesis gas. Rigorous syngas cleanup trains remove tars, particulates, and trace contaminants to meet downstream hydroprocessing feedstock specifications.

Stage 2
⚙

Hydroprocessing & Upgrading

Crude renewable feedstock is hydrotreated and hydroisomerised using Topsoe HydroFlex licensed technology to produce on-spec RD100 renewable diesel meeting EN 15940 and ASTM D975, with product slate flexibility for SAF.

Stage 3
✈

Sustainable Aviation Fuel

Dedicated SAF fractionation and blending with continuous quality documentation for airline and airport fuel supplier offtake. Product specification aligned with ASTM D7566 Annex A1 with full sustainability traceability chain.

Product A
🛤

Tank Farm & Product Logistics

Integrated product storage with N6 highway truck loading bays, future pipeline interface points, and export terminal connectivity. 30 to 40 tonne supervised deliveries with weighbridge control and digital manifest tracking.

Product B
📊

SCADA & Digital Operations

Live SCADA control room with continuous emissions monitoring, weighbridge integration, and MMDA transparency dashboards showing tonnage collected, transfer activity, and conversion outcomes in real time.

Feedstock Security

Contracted Waste, Bankable Revenue

Tipping fees are not simply a revenue line. They are the commercial mechanism that aligns MMDAs, private haulers, and the refinery under one auditable, contractually secured system that lenders can rely on.

RD100 SCADA Control Room Operations
01

Portfolio Contracting with MMDAs

Waste supply and delivery agreements with GAMA’s Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies, including minimum tonnage commitments, tipping fee schedules escalated by CPI or agreed indices, and put-or-pay enforcement provisions.

02

Transfer Site Architecture

High-throughput transfer sites with rapid cross-docking designed to keep refinery deliveries limited to supervised 30 to 40 tonne trucks, reducing congestion, improving HSSE compliance, and strengthening weighbridge control.

03

Digital Manifests & Weighbridge

Every load recorded on digital manifests with RFID or QR-coded vehicle tracking. Real-time data flows to MMDA regulatory dashboards and investor reporting systems for full chain-of-custody traceability.

04

Supply Redundancy by Design

The Greater Accra Metropolitan Area generates an estimated 3,800 to 4,000 t/day of MSW, with further eligible supply across the Eastern and Central Region assemblies inside the 60 kilometre catchment, against a plant requirement of 1,200 t/day. The contracting strategy secures 1,500 t/day, 125 percent of requirement, across three independent supply layers: assembly agreements, put-or-pay private hauler contracts, and the project’s own collection SPV as swing supplier.

Site & Location

Akraman, Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipality

Selected from a multi-criteria comparative analysis of candidate sites across Greater Accra and the adjoining Eastern Region corridor. Akraman provides superior catchment access, logistics efficiency, and geological suitability inside the Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly jurisdiction in the Eastern Region, on the doorstep of the Greater Accra conurbation.

Schematic map of the Akraman project site in the Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipal District, Eastern Region, with the 60 km feedstock catchment across the Greater Accra, Eastern and Central Regions

Akraman, Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly

Project site located at Akraman along the Akraman-Sarpeiman road within the Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipal Assembly, Eastern Region, immediately across the boundary from Greater Accra. Direct connectivity to the Accra metropolitan waste generation zone without congesting urban routes.

Secured Stool Land Tenure

About 50 acres under a 90-year lease agreed with the Traditional Council and endorsed through the Akyem Abuakwa paramountcy at the Okyenhene’s seat at Kyebi, with an initial commitment fee agreed between the parties. Lands Commission concurrence and registration are progressing under the Land Act 2020 and the Office of the Administrator of Stool Lands framework.

N6 Highway Logistics Anchor

Site benefits from proximity to the N6 corridor, the main Accra to Kumasi trunk road. Heavy truck access with year-round all-weather reliability and connectivity to the Tema port for product export and equipment delivery.

60 km Multi-Region Catchment

Over 5.4 million residents across GAMA’s 25 assemblies generate an estimated 3,800 to 4,000 t/day of MSW, and the 60 kilometre radius reaches further eligible assemblies in the Eastern and Central Regions. The plant requires 1,200 t/day, roughly thirty percent of GAMA generation alone, with 1,500 t/day contracted across three independent supply layers.

Nsawam Municipal Capital Access

Located inside the Nsawam Adoagyiri Municipal jurisdiction with Nsawam, the municipal capital, about six kilometres from the project gate. Strategic positioning for direct MMDA engagement, permitting coordination, and local government partnership at the host municipality level.

Scalable Replication Platform

The Akraman site has been designed from the outset to be replicated across other strategic N-road corridors in Ghana, making RD100 the first unit in a planned national waste-to-fuel network covering Kumasi, Takoradi, and Tamale catchments.
